Just wondered who everyone thought might win boxer of the year next week. For me there's three real contenders and I can see the arguments for and against each.
Carl Froch - Three world title wins in the last year (Pascal was after the last awards although in 2008, so I would hope it would count), especially the amazing stoppage over Taylor. However his performance against Dirrell wasn't so good and many believe he lost the fight.
Amir Khan - Another world title winner and a victory over a true legend in Barerra. However Barerra was well past and probably should have been a no-contest and Whilst he fought well against Kotelnik, he was the easiest champ out there for Khan.
David Haye - He became world heavyweight champion which in itself would win you something like this hands down, but only one fight in the year and a rather dull afair does go against him.
