To be honest, Pavlik, Mayweather, and Cotto ALL had a great year. I don't think any one of them is a clear cut winner. Thus, although the topic will certainly generate excellently articulated opinions, such as that of Frozen Solid, I will simply give thanks for ALL THREE entertaining me this year and hope the powers that be continue to put all three in the ring against the best, for my sake, but for boxing and the fans' sake.
