If anything, this bar is way to low for a "fighter of the decade".

You won't get much more honest than ^^^

Marquez and Bradley were ok fights to make
Clottey Margarito and Mosley fights were embarrassing

Why was Clottey embarassing? Top 5, FMJ had him beating Cotto in the previous fight. Marg, well in his next bout the #1 rated at SWW champ asked to defend his belt at a catchweight against him, despite the sorry shape Marg was in.

JMM and Bradley are better than ok, they are p4p rated. When is the last time someone fought 3 p4pers in a row?

Mr.Wong

Pacquaio is an over rated hype job.

Clottey is the only legit fight of Pac's last 5 opponents in which Clottey, in his own admission, said he wasn't there to win that night

Which then leaves Pac with no other legit fights, but cherry picks where Pac either had them picked to be pass primed, flat footed, or out of their weight class. 'Cherry Picker of the Decade" sounds more fitting

Tim Bradley - unranked, heavy underdog, won a controversial decision over Manny.

Juan M Marquez - unranked, "once and for all" fight that expired years ago.

If you didnt write such a ridiculous biased post you might actually get some serious answers

Other fighters should be thankful he took mediocre opponents in the last few years or he would have won his 4th fighter of the year award.

bradley - undefeated, lb for lb rated, coming up in weight - B+
marquez - top 5 lb for lb fighter, coming up in weight - B
mosely - old - C-
margarito - plasterless, worn but outweight him by 17 lbs - C+
clottey - top 5 ww, quality fighter - B

bradley, marquez and clottey were good fights. the clottey win was impressive as he was a quality w/ that looked to have won over cotto. folks say he didn't come to win but he did, only he changed his mind after taking a few punches from pac
