I want Joe to win.. but I think if Hatton beats Mayweather the votes will go his way.. plus 2 big boxing names could split the vote and a less deserving person could sneak it!

 

So long as Lewis doesn't win it. I appreciate he achieved a lot in his first year in F1, but I'm not sure he deserves to win just yet.

 

I totally agree with Bobbeh in that I want Calzaghe to win it but if, as he suggests the votes are split I think Hamilton could sneak it which would be wrong imo.

Hamilton will it.

Calzaghe should get it, IMO.

But then Calzaghe has never got the credit he deserves.

 

If Hatton or Calzaghe get it I will be both very happy and completely amazed. The voting public know next to nothing about boxing nowadays. And I blame Sky for that.

Hope it goes to someone who has actually won something - Hatton, Calzaghe - maybe not Christine Ohuruogu.

Lewis will win, but now it's all down to how big the media profile is and not the actual sporting achievement.

If it were for the 'Sports Personality' - Frankie Dettori would win it every year :)

How do you vote for this? Is it a phone in on the day?

 

As already said Calzaghe deserves it, at the moment anyway. But if Hatton does the unthinkable and beats Mayweather then he should win it hands down. To beat a 5 weight world champion considered the best boxer walking the planet is no mean feat! :D

 

I'm a huge boxing fan and it frustrates me how British boxers get overlooked of late. As Jake says, it's all down to tv coverage. :(

 

Hamilton will probably steal it though....

This is wide open imo.

 

Can't agree that Hamilton doesn't deserve it, just because the media have jumped all over him doesn't make someone less worthy. Rose, Murray and Ohuruogo aren't in the running imo.

 

Radcliffe winning the marathon this year was a huge acheivement and I think she'll get a lot of votes from the women.

What do the bookies say? I would be amazed if Hamilton isn't a hot favourite.
