Does Usyk have FOTY locked up?

[powerpuncher]

He beat Briedis, Gassiev, and Bellew. Can anyone really rival that?

[Master]

Yes probably with Mikey Garcia and Terrence Crawford close seconds.

Inoue is in the running, McDonnell and Payano both inside a round.

I did think of Inoue and that’s pretty impressive with 2 first round KOs against two solid opponents.

[powerpuncher]

Yes probably with Mikey Garcia and Terrence Crawford close seconds.

Crawford fought two decent fighters in Horn and Benavidez. Don’t think he compares to Usyk. Garcia fought Easter who was solid and Lipinets who was pretty good and up a weight class.

So far the top three are Usyk, Inoue, and Garcia.

Who else wants to give their opinion? Who else are we missing?

[Alpha]

AJ went Parker and Povetkin.

Shiro has Lopez and Melindo, with Juarez on Dec-30th.

Ioka could have Arroyo and Nietes (has to be comeback of the year if he beats Nietes).

Jacobs went Sulecki and Derevyanchenko.

[Alpha]

Usyk on the road tho, unifying, winning the WBSS tourney, is tough to top.

[Ron Swanson]

When speaking of Usyk let’s not forget that each fight was in the other mans country as well. Latvia, Russia, UK

Didn’t know Ioka was fighting Nietes. That would be a big year for him if he won.

No doubt about it, Usyk should be Fighter of the Year. He beat the 2 top fighters in his weight division, a division loaded with talent.

I'd make Usyk fighter of the year based on his quality of wins. If Tyson won in a few hours he'd have a great story but it's just the one big win so not sure it would rival what Usyk done.

contrary to what a lot of other ppl think I reckon Usyk IS going to make big waves at heavyweight when he moves up. I don't buy this " he's too small" idea. I've seen him walk down superheavyweights looking to trade, you can see how he handled Joyce he has no doubts about his chin or ability to push bigger men around. Most heavyweights will really struggle with his speed and skills IMO
