Parker and Chisora?
Parker? The only man to take joshua the distance? Former world champion? You dont think he is world class? Or maybe chisora who knocked takem out better than AJ who is widely regarded as the no.1 heavyweight atm? Or Brown former undefeated world heavyweight champ. Chisora is hot and cold but he is coming off the best win of his career. All 3 are world class imho and whyte dispatched of 2 and gave the other the gardest fight of his career and dropped him for the first time in his life so for me dillian whyte is my choice of bfoty

AJ had two good wins, but disappointing that the Wilder fight wasn't made.

Fury had two crap wins but if he had got the nod vs Wilder he would have had a reasonable shout.

Yafai had a poor year.

Edwards has shown massive improvement.

Smith came of age this year but the fact his semi was against Holskin rather than Braehmer cheapens it quite a bit.

Whyte has beaten 3 respectable contenders and deserves great credit.

Taylor's victory over Postol was probably the best single victory of a British fighter this year.

It is hard to see past Warrington, given the calibre of opposition, how clearly he won and how entertaining the fights were.

Has to be Warrington for me.

I’m still not totally sold on him tbh and suspect he might have got to both Selby & Frampton at the right time, but he did a great job regardless. I just don’t see who did more than Warrington this year.

Dya know what your right i didnt read the list properly and iv thought whyte has had a decent run lately without thinking of AJ or Josh Taylor,i was thinking of Warrington. Remember everyone expected AJ to beat parker but they didnt expect whyte to and thats why he gets the nod over AJ for me but ill agree warrington shades whyte as bfoty

Josh Warrington. Some solid contenders among the list, but Warrington did the impossible twice. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when he beat Selby and how impressive was he tearing into Frampton in those first 2 rounds, even having the audacity to go for a stoppage. An ultra impressive year :salut:

Warrington for me.

Then Taylor and Whyte.

Callum Smiths Wbss win was overrated. Had a pretty easy draw before the final. He'd be 4th
