OK so PAC is easily Fighter of the year.

You forgot Froch. If you think the other supermiddles deserve a mention then Froch definitely does. He arguably has the best 2009 form - Taylor and Dirrell.

difference is none of the ones already mentioned have a gift decision on their 2009 record, Froch/Dirrell basically discards Carl "hands of molasses" Froch cause he didn't win that fight

Record books don't care about personal fan opinion.

fighter of the year isn't selected by whats seen on the record books, if not Sven Ottke would have won ten times over

The official result is very important. Can you name a "fighter of the year" who lost during the year?

Also regarding Froch-Dirrell, most influential boxing journalists had the fight very close either way, not a robbery

Dan Rafael - ESPN
Doug Fischer - The Ring
Graham Huston - Boxing Monthly
Thomas Hauser - Seconds Out
Steve Bunce - Bunce Boxing

All said it was NO robbery

can you name a fighter of the year who's biggest win was a controversial decision in his own hometown?

Nope. As far as Froch is concerned, he was in Taylor's backyard when he scored his biggest win. I don't think anyone thinks Froch is "fighter of the year" though.
