sparky88 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 It should be Mo, well overdue. It will probably be Joshua though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok but the bbc feel obliged to ensure certain groups are represented every so often, like obscure motorcyclists this year and rugby league players last year.

JMDP Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Would imagine that Joshua would be considered the superior athlete on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco30 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Joshua or Hamilton I think. Wouldn't be surprised to see Harry Kane make up the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionel hutz Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 oh my! Froome, easily. No one has won the Tour and the Vuelta in the same season in the modern era, it is an unrivalled achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printer Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Should be Froome, but Hamilton will skoosh it. Never quite got why Formula 1 does so well in SPOTY. It's a minority sport. Likely 100s of people in the UK would likely be better than Hamilton given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texting a retired boxer calling him a disgrace to the superior black race. A few days later blamed it on a 'hack' but not many really believe that.
