i love roy but pacquiao will be considered the greater fighter.
same with their run in their respective decade.
You don't think is possible for Pac to suffer the same faith?

So I classify 2000-2009 as the decade. Since that is what everybody else classifies at. Think about it Pac already won the decade award and had a party and everything for it.
If 2010 counted then why would they give the award out in the middle of 2010? Why not wait till 2010 was over with?
In that case I'll take Clottey out.

But, since both have won the decade award. I think the better question is who had the better decade Roy in the 90's or Pac in the 00's.

pacquiao doesn't have many more fights left. maybe 1-2. 3 at most.
if he does lose it'll be to a top p4p fighter like floyd or a much bigger 147-154 fighter so i don't see it hurting him much.
roy jones got screwed because a combination of 2 things.
1. his resume was not that great.
2. he continued fighting far too long.
if he had a great resume , losses past his prime wouldn't matter because he already proved his greatness.
problem with roy is he had a good resume but not a great one. easier for critics to downgrade his achievements.
