Is it Tyson Fury (above) for his February upset of WBC Heavyweight Champion, Deontay Wilder? Should it be Lightweight Undisputed Champion Teofimo Lopez for his upset decision win over one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Vassiliy Lomachenko in October?Or could it possibly be four division world champion, Canelo Alvarez, who just won in his 2020 debut last weekend in a dominant decision over previously unbeaten English Super Middleweight champ, Callum Smith?In addition to talking fighter of the year, the guys also discuss what the top fight was for 2020? And it's pretty well a unanimous decision among the guests about the action-packed, non-title brawl back earlier this year in the Top Rank Boxing, Las Vegas "bubble" that had multiple knockdowns of each fighter wins.Finally, the guys also discuss the "Knockout of the Year" in boxing with the two prime candidates being World Junior Lightweight champion, Gervonta Davis and his KO Leo Santa Cruz on Halloween.
