Floyd is not only fighter of the decade, but athlete of the decade

He's not fighter of the decade. No way in hell is PBF athlete of the decade. This thread is rubbish.

I can see Pacman But how the fuk is Kobe and Tiger Woods over Floyd as Athlete of the year Decade bro....DECADE

Floyd was a dominant fighter for a little over half of the decade. Woods completely dominated the whole period shattering records as well. Lance Armstrong dominated the Tour De France for most of the decade and should be rated much higher than Mayweather. Heck Mayweather probably isn't even the fighter of the decade. Thread fails.

again though im not life or death with this, i dont even really like floyd its more that when the AP voted athlete of the decade it seems messed up that tiger woods was most likely a unanimous choice but most likely no boxer was even considered. FYI Pacquiao was the ONLY boxer considered by AP and I also want to add that I don't agree that a GOLFER should be voted as ATHLETE of the decade....

Now im not a floyd "stan" at all but you have to be crazy to say he isnt at least the best boxer of the decade. Im just giving him his credit. Being a champion from about 1999-2009 except for a year and a half off, Fighting from super featherweight up to junior middleweight, being p4p #1 for most the decade, and being undefeated is unreal. I was reading on ESPN how the AP voted tiger woods athlete of the decade, i was disgusted. Floyd dominated the sport just as much if not more then tiger for the decade, and he was a boxer not a fucking golfer. http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2009/12/16/129054563066782960.jpg

don't look at it by sections. look at their accomplishments as a whole. the fact that manny has been able to achieve that much in a short period of time is amazing in itself. manny has been consistently fighting top opposition and winning as long as floyd has. mayweather had an advantage. he is american. he was groomed to be a boxer. born in a boxing family, had an amature career. that is why you probably noticed floyd more. manny wasn't born in a boxing family. never had an amature career. had to fight two weeks notice as a substitute for ledwaba. was a heavy underdog against barrera. if those opportunities never presented themselves, manny would have never had his shot. yet he was able to achieve more than floyd has despite those disadvantages. now some are accusing him of cheating cause they can't believe what he has done. that is just insane. bottom line: pacquiao>floyd this decade and in the history books. STRONGLY AGREE!! PAC was sent by GOD to inspire people..

in this decade pacquiao was fighter of the year 3 out of the 10 years. mayweather was fighter of the year once. no way is mayweather fighter of the decade.

Pacquiao, Woods, Armstrong, Federer deserve to be placed ahead of Mayweather as athlete of the decade. Pac has to be boxer of the decade, he has continually found new ways to challenge himself against the best. When was the last time the boxing public thought there was a considerable chance Mayweather would lose by his opponent? Castillo? Corrales? I know if he fought Cotto, Margarito, Shane, Williams there would be a hell of a lot more people saying they have a decent chance to win. A much larger chance than Hatton, Gatti, Baldomir and Judah.

again though im not life or death with this, i dont even really like floyd its more that when the AP voted athlete of the decade it seems messed up that tiger woods was most likely a unanimous choice but most likely no boxer was even considered.

this doesn't makes sense.. first of all, KOBE>JAMES second, manny has been fighting and beating top competition before he was fighting the hattons and the oscars of the world. saying he just became "good" the past few years is not accurate. i didnt mean he became good the past couple of years i meant he became dominant in the way floyd has been in the past couple of years.

Look at the gap between Kobe's championship. Woods shouldn't even be considered an athlete. Floyd stayed at the top longer than Kobe Kobe has been the best player no question in the NBA since about 2003, 2004 at the latest, and only because of Shaq probably wasn't considered the best earlier. Floyd wasn't p4p #1 until 2005 when Bernard Hopkins, who took over after Roy's long reign ended, lost to Jermain Taylor. Kobe has dominated his sport for far longer than Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Lance Armstrong deserves it too he dominated just as much. Tiger Woods... golf... ha Roger Federer honestly I dont know anything about tennis but i didnt think he was really relevant in the first half of the decade. Manning is a legit choice to cause he does have 1 super bowl and 3 mvps. And Mayweather never fought the best welterweights ill admit but he fought all the good fighters from super featherweight up. He did fight those guys at the weight, but he kinda tailed off when he went up. I'm not hating not Mayweather since I'm a fan of his inside the ring, but great odds are stacked against him. It's true that you don't need to be a great athlete to play golf or even baseball, but Woods' dominance makes the majority believe he should be "Athlete" of the decade. Federer has won like 13 Championships in tennis while being rated number 1 player for 5 straight years. This list doesn't even include Michael Phelps who has 14 gold medals while breaking dozens of world records in swimming. For fighter of the decade, for me it's a toss between Mayweather or Pacquiao. I wouldn't bitch either way if one of them wins it and the other doesn't.

Pacquiao hasnt really been a superstar until the past 3 or 4 years. Thats like saying Lebron is the best basketball player of the decade over kobe. Maybe not money wise, but he's done more and beaten better competition in more impressive fashion.

comparing floyd's and pacquiao's accomplishments have been done a million times. so just look at some of them. most people would give pacquiao the fighter of the decade cause he deserves it more than floyd. Pacquiao hasnt really been a superstar until the past 3 or 4 years. Thats like saying Lebron is the best basketball player of the decade over kobe.

Kobe has 4 championships and has been the best player in the NBA nearly the entire decade. Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods, no one dominates like Tiger Woods. Far more accomplished in their respective sports than Floyd is in boxing. Look at the gap between Kobe's championship. Woods shouldn't even be considered an athlete. Floyd stayed at the top longer than Kobe

You have to be an idiot to consider Mayweather as athlete of the decade. Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, Roger Federer, Peyton Manning consistently played against the best athletes (teams) in their respective sports and won. You CANNOT say the same thing to Mayweather. He NEVER fought against the best in his sport like Margaritio, Williams, Cotto, etc. Lance Armstrong deserves it too he dominated just as much. Tiger Woods... golf... ha Roger Federer honestly I dont know anything about tennis but i didnt think he was really relevant in the first half of the decade. Manning is a legit choice to cause he does have 1 super bowl and 3 mvps. And Mayweather never fought the best welterweights ill admit but he fought all the good fighters from super featherweight up.

I can see Pacman But how the fuk is Kobe and Tiger Woods over Floyd as Athlete of the year Kobe has 4 championships and has been the best player in the NBA nearly the entire decade. Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods, no one dominates like Tiger Woods. Far more accomplished in their respective sports than Floyd is in boxing.

I'd put Pacquiao, Kobe, and Tiger Woods over Floyd as far as Athlete of the Dcade is concerned, but Floyd is a slight #2 under Pac for fighter of the decade. I can see Pacman But how the fuk is Kobe and Tiger Woods over Floyd as Athlete of the year
