Vitali vs Peter as event of the year?! I am curious to know why this was the event of the year?

C-Lo's pick as of 12/1/2008

1. Fighter of the year: Manny Pacquiao Three weight divisions, three wins

2. Fight of the year: Pacquiao vs Marquez II for it's significance, rivalry, and changes in momentum.

3. Round of the year: Arreola vs Walker (I'll go with a longshot)

4. Knockout of the year: Miranda KO Banks. Has anyone checked if Banks is alive from that?

5. Upset of the year: Hopkins over Pavlik. No one had Bernard winning that fight.

6. Comeback fighter of the year: Vitali Klitschko. He's hasn't fought in years and destroyed the second best heavyweight in the world.

7. Event of the year: "The Dream Match": De La Hoya vs Pacquiao

8. Worst fight of the year: Klitschko vs Ibragimov

9. Prospect of the year: TBD

10. Robbery of the year: Lorenzo DQ win over Soto

I think I'll put Chris Arreola as my prospect of the year. Don't ask, I really couldn't decide so I settled.
