toss up between Povetkin & Fury... Fury beats Klitschko following a win over Christian Hammer. Povetkin stopping Mike Perez in 1 round & wach in 11. I have to lean with Fury
GGG in my opinion. Two dominated victories over top ten fighters and one good win over another top 15 fighter and didn't lose a round in the process. No one has really been more dominated on the championship level.
Ok they're not wlad but what's funny about that? He was the underdog in both fights.
Groves was showing bad signs in fights after the Froch losses. He kinda looked like a shaken fighter. Decent win
Anthony Dirrell is a good solid fighter, but he is far from being anything great. Good win.
I would call Jacks year a good year, a breakout year of sorts, but I would not consider him fighter of the year. I will say this, considering the loss he suffered last year, I personally think he had a great bounce back year. He impressed me.
Everyone has their own rules for what makes you FOTY
Fury ended a decade-long heavyweight reign and is now a historical boxing figure, but his other win was a warmup against Christian Hammer.
Mayweather broke PPV records and ended years of speculation by beating Pacquaio, but his other fight was what most would call a waste of time.
GGG packed 3 decent (monroe jr) good (murray) and very good (lemiuex) opponents into one year and utterly dominated them. On some mathematical algorithm level he is up there but there was no flagship win.
Somewhere in the middle (2 good wins apiece) are Canelo and Badou, but Badou edges that one out because Canelo's opponents were both past it/underdogs.
