    Wlad wasn't that good. Not even a top p4p fighter. He did dominated a weak division. And also having an upset doesn't make you deserve FOTY. Winning one fight shouldn't make you win the fight. As primo said, pac is easily better than wlad so mayweather should be FOTY by your criteria.

    If fury beat wlad earlier this year then beat wilder and got his belt I could see him getting it because he proved to be dominant in his weight class instead of just getting an upset win. Winning FOTY means that you showed your dominance. It doesn't mean you upset a good fighter.

    Amen to that. Like I said, Fighter of the weekend, yes, fighter of the month , probably, fighter of the year , no!

    Fury has a good argument for fighter of the year, as does Mayweather. Like Mayweather, Fury really only has one good win this year. However, Wlad is a future first-ballot HOF, and never mind the level of the division, beating the decade's best heavyweight says a lot any way you cut it.

    Canelo beat Cotto and Kirkland. He might be the front-runner.

    Crawford beat whom? Dierry John and Thomas Dolorme. Not even close to FOY.

    Postol has had a good year with the win over Matthysse.

    Chocolatito beat Viloria, Leon and Sosa, only Viloria is a really good win, but still not a great win.

    GGG beat Lemieux, Monroe Jr., and Murray. Good wins, not great.

    Glowacki had a good win over a long-reigning cruiserweight title holder in Marco Huck.

    DeGale beat Bute and Dirrell. That's a solid year.

    Is there anyone else with at least two really good wins?

    For me, unless I'm missing someone, it is Fury, Mayweather, Canelo, DeGale, and GGG.

    Canelo beat Cotto and Kirkland. He might be the front-runner. Agreed

    Crawford beat whom? Dierry John and Thomas Dolorme. Not even close to FOY. He fought 2 top 10/15 fighters in the year, Fury fought 1.

    Postol has had a good year with the win over Matthysse. About the same as Fury although Fury tops him because of the previous dominance his opponent had.

    Chocolatito beat Viloria, Leon and Sosa, only Viloria is a really good win, but still not a great win. Definitely a Contender if not the winner. He's dominating his division in fine style!

    GGG beat Lemieux, Monroe Jr., and Murray. Good wins, not great. Again , Dominating his division and beating top 10 guys with regularity

    Glowacki had a good win over a long-reigning cruiserweight title holder in Marco Huck. Similar to Fury

    DeGale beat Bute and Dirrell. That's a solid year. Yes, but not good enough to compete with some of the above

    Is there anyone else with at least two really good wins? Maybe Kovalev

    For me, unless I'm missing someone, it is Fury, Mayweather, Canelo, DeGale, and GGG.

    Fighter of the year has to be more than one good night, albeit an exceptionally good one. for me, you have to show consistency through the year. and I don't think it has to be someone who has pulled off One upset. I would put Mayweather (Sorry Eric), Canelo, GGG, Chocolatito and Crawford(Possibly) above him, and I would probably put Chocolatito at the top of the pile.

    I have to disagree completely. Wlad dominated a division for ten years. He literally rarely lost a round for 10 years. That's incredible, never mind the level of his division. Just to name a few of his accomplishments, he pitched a shut out against lineal, unified cruiserweight champion, David Haye, beat multiple former gold medalists, and fought in countries around the world. Wlad is a first ballot HOF. Easy.

    If Wlad didn't look so bad against Jennings and the Fury vs Wlad fight didn't look like shit on a shingle, I'd say maybe. Truthfully and I'm blaming Wlad mostly, it was one of the worst heavyweight fights I've seen!

    Fury should win BBC sports personality of the year.

    I literally had this conversation with a mate of mine about an hour ago. It's obviously between 3. Tyson Fury, Lewis Hamilton & Andy Murray. If it was about the "Personality" like it says in the name, Fury would walk it.
    In reality, one of the other 2 will win, a.because their sport is on BBC. And b. because it's a fuckin fix!

    Holly Holms is a better boxer than Fury, she should get it for her win over Rousey. It was much more exciting and her opponent was trying to win!
    Holms for fighter of the year! A big plus is she doesn't sing after she wins! 😉🙃

    Of course Fury will be fighter of the year.... he's just gone and ripped multiple Heavyweight titles from a man who hasn't lost in nearly TEN YEARS and in his back yard making him look a novice scared cunt in the process - all this on a square bouncy castle for 36 minutes with THE most corrupt judging system in boxing history against him.

    Takes some doing that

    Iv already called yo up on this. You even quoted it which proves it wasnt his views at all. He was quoting the bible

    Never mind the media it seems some of this sites very own moderators resent Fury winning and being THE heavyweight champion of the world.
