My list...
1. Juan Manuel Lopez
2. Sergio Martinez (he'll jump to #1 if he beats PWill)
3. Fernando Montiel
4. Lucian Bute
5. Vitali Klitschko
6. Wlad Klitschko
7. Manny Pacquiao
8. Tomasz Adamek
9. Giovanni Segura
10. Jean Pascal
11. Amir Khan
12. Paul Williams
Pascal is way to low if you ask me, on paper he has probably got the best win of the year.
Segura's win over Calderon, Martinez's win over Pavlik and Pascal's win over Dawson and the three biggest wins of the year so far. If Martinez also beats Williams I agree he takes the number one spot.
Montiel's wins over Hasegawa and Concepcion deserve mention, but aren't quite up to the level.
so my candidates are
Sergio Martinez (unless he loses tomorrow)
Giovanni Segura
Jean Pascal
it seems like a toss up between Pacman and JML .
I say Bhop beats Pascal so im guessing he wont be fighter of the year
Martinez would be a clear #1 if he beats Williams .

Yeah. I may have put him too low. I should replace one of the Klits.Quote:

Depends. If Pascal is black enough to beat Hopkins, i'd go with him. If he doesn't and Martinez beats Williams, i'd go with him. If Khan beats Maidana well, i'd have him creep into the top 5 or 6.
If they all lose, i'd probably look at JuanMa, or even Pacquiao.
Can't be decided yet though as the top candidates still have difficult fights to get through.
It's difficult because the top level fighters are all fairly inactive, and then there are some former top level fighters who are still licking their wounds from beatings.
I don't see how Martinez gets a clear number one if he beats Williams. He beat a DONE Kelly Pavlik to add to that. ???Quote:

Pascal gets the nod for me when he beats Hopkins. He'll have way too much speed for him.
I'll come back to this thread in around 1 months time. A lot could change in that time. If Maidana KO's Khan which he very well could although I'm expecting Amir to be awesome in truth, I think that must fire him up there.
Like I said I'LL COME BACK IN A MONTH.

Soto - Karass!
