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
A good list and like you mention, a lot of this depends on the outcome of several big fights coming up.

Golovkin had a great breakout year, but in terms of accomplishment I don't know if I would give him the nod - which is not his fault because he's having a hard time getting the big dogs to fight him.

With a win over Garcia, I think Matthysse would be a great candidate. Completely destroying a world class guy like Peterson and then taking the title from undefeated Garcia would be tough to beat.

But I think ultimately Canelo will deserve it by default if he manages to upset Mayweather and be the first guy to really beat him.
