I've always wondered why boxing outlets never appoint a Rookie of the Year. To determine rookie status, a fighter must have turned professional in 2013. But, like in baseball, where if you didn't reach a certain amount of plate appearances, for this award you could qualify if you fought twice or less total in years previous.
With that in mind, I thought I would designate my own Rookie of the Year for 2013, adding a couple of honorable mentions.
