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.
