Overall fighter of the year has to be Ward though. Agreed AA was a whatever fight, but winning the tourney while hardly dropping any rounds is pretty huge. And while I thought Froch was pretty overrated going into that fight, he's still probably the best fighter to have been beaten clearly this year. Well, scratch that -- Segura probably is.

If Hopkins had beaten Dawson, I would definitely give it to him (but I think Dawson would have won if the fight had been completed anyway).
And Viloria stopped Segura. Frankly, the more I think about it, the more it has to be Viloria if we are going on pure "in the ring" accomplishments.
