fighter of 2008 so far

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Fighter of the Year is still up for grabs depending on the outcome of these fights:
Calzaghe vs. RJJ
Pac vs. ODLH
Mijares vs. Vic
Margarito


I'd like to say that for me Hopkins would fall more under "Comeback Fighter of year" then "Fighter of the year"... Just my opinion.
So far I have:
Nate Campbell
Guillermo Jones
Hopkins
Daniel Santos
*If Vic defeats Mijares I would give him the award if he loses I'd give it to Nate.

Nate beat Diaz who was an amazing fighter but not a Cotto

This is going to sound crazy but I think Roman Gonzalez deserves a mention because of his jumping into the international scene over Niida.

Joan Guzman deserves a mention because he is on so many p4p lists and he hasn't even fought this year.

If Mijares beats Vic he will have picked up 2 extra straps in the puzzle, and that's against pretty good competition in his weight class (If he beats Vic he needs to go after Montiel next)

JuanMa if he looks good against Medina should be mentioned as well.

My final pick from your list is BCD though.

Guzman who?
NO WAY he is to be considered.. He doesn't deserved it.. He better clean his act first and then we may consider him. No freebies here..

Hmm I didn't think I would have to mention the sarcasm on that......

Has to be Tony Margarito. Destorying one of the biggest punches in Kermit Cintron then taking forcing Miguel Cotto (The heavy favourite may I add) in a FOTY candidate to quit. Great year for The Tijuana Tornado.

Also a lttle credit should go to Timothy Bradley I may add. Unknown to many fans at the start of 2008. He was a massive underdog against Junior Twitter and went into his backyard and gave him a bit of a lesson IMO. I had him up by 3/4 rounds. A great overhand right shot as well to put Twitter on his ass.

People were then wondering whether that was due to how bad Twitter looked and he then went up against The Cherry Bomb. He dominated that fight as well proving he deserves to be with the elite at 140 pounds. The kid has a bright future no doubt.
