FLOYD MAYWEATHER NAMED
FIGHTER OF THE YEAR

The Ring is pleased to announce that world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather has been selected as Fighter of the Year for 2007. Mayweather fought twice in ’07, winning a 12-round decision over Oscar De La Hoya on May 5 in Las Vegas to capture the WBC super welterweight title, and knocking out Ricky Hatton in the 10th round on December 8 in defense of the world welterweight championship.

It is the second time Mayweather has won the honor, having also been The Ring’s 1998 Fighter of the Year. The award dates back to 1928, when heavyweight champion Gene Tunney was the first recipient.

Cant disagree with anything there really, although for round of the year I would have selected round 1 of Sakio Bika vs Jaidon Codrington, and KO of the year I got to give to the Ding-a-ling man's KO over Nwodo, shit was savage.

Plus this comes from the Ring Magazine which holds a lil more weight compared to like espn or yahoo or some bullshit.

^^hey didnt oscar dlh buy ring magazine?.thought i read that somewhere..he bought some company that publishes all the boxing mags like ring and k.o.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

yeah he bought the ring like three or four months ago I think but apparently he's not going to have any influence on what is written (although it will probably take some more time to see if that actually is the case). So far it seems pretty straight, the P4P list is virtually unchanged since he became owner.

i here ya..heres whats on wiki about the magazine..

Golden Boy Enterprises subsidiary Sports and Entertainment Publications, LLC, a holding company whose principal shareholder is Golden Boy Promotions, has bought Ring Magazine from the Kappa Publishing Group. Also acquired were KO, World Boxing and Pro Wrestling Illustrated. No dollar amount was disclosed.
