    Garcia or Mathysse may both be contenders , considering who will win .
    If Rigo has another big win this year , he could be considered
    Adonis Stevenson also is a guy who had a big year. Kovalev also!!

    anyone else who may be fighter of the year?

    right now- Golovkin for me
    Barkers fight with Geale alone tops any other. GGG is just knocking people out and Ishida and Macklin are not the best, nor is Rosado tbh.

    They could make a movie on the Barker fight.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    Considering Macklin is better then Barker Id go with GGG. Barker scraping a split decision against the worst champion in the div doesnt warrant fighter of the year.

    Everyone on the list above is ahead of him. I agree with GGG because hes had 3 fights and been impressive in all of them although opposition not that good. If Rigo gets another big fight in i think he deserves it.

    with a win over Stevens, it'd be hard not to make a case for GGG

    Mikey Garcia could make a case if he takes on a good name and wins impressively in his last fight of the year, maybe against someone like De Leon, John, or even Caballero at featherweight or move up and fight Martinez, Burgos, or Uchiyama

    Hell even Canelo if he manages to legitimately beat Floyd can make a case, with his disputable win over (and decent performance) a game Trout and a clear win over Floyd he finally stepped it up against real opposition and not just hand picked opponents like the rest of his career, I just hope he continues to do so even if he loses and doesn't do a JCC Jr and go back to fighting Pretender rejects instead of real opponents

    Rigo should be in the running just for the absolute dissection of Donaire.
    If Lucas thrashes Garcia he's got to be on the list.
    Floyd could also be in it if he puts on a clinic this weekend.
    Leo Santa Cruz has a couple of nice marks on the year.

    It will be interesting, we have plenty of ifs, shoulds, maybes and depending on what happens. Fighter of the Year is not something I ever think about but this year I'm interested to see where Rigo winds up. He did a great job making Donaire look foolish.

    GGG or Rigondeaux! But it will not matter because whoever wins between Money and Canelo will get the title for Fighter of 2013 in January.

    Golovkin has been the most active but it may not necessarily mean he is the best this year. The winner of Floyd/Canelo will have a better case.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Well its true! Rigo beating Donaire in the manner he did is far more impressive. Id like to add Barker beating Geale is no more impressive then Geale beating Sturm. If someone proposed Geale as fighter of the year that year they would be ridiculed. But the Brits hold themself on a higher l;ever then the rest of us. Anyone catch that pricks speech at the G20 yoke. It actually makes the Americans look humble
