"We know he's been knocked out twice and he's been out-boxed by Erik Morales. But they still give him boxer of the decade. That's something I don't understand."

and he's the only fighter nominated for the award. nyhahahahhahahahahaha LMAO
I agree. We should make a thread that will help floyd accept himself that being a gay isn't bad at all and that he could really help the sport that we love to become more popular than the other sports.
Gay fighter of the decade for Floyd too. Fack! Bring on all the gay awards if he comes out from her closet. :rofl:
It will be landslide in favor of floyd.... nyahhahahaah
Gay fighter of the decade for Floyd too. Fack! Bring on all the gay awards if he comes out from her closet. :rofl:
Actually, he's a runaway winner for the award. LMAO
Floyd should come out to his closet and say it to the public that he was a gay, in that floyd will get an award as the "GREATEST HOMOSEXUAL FIGHTER OF ALL TIME" i'm sure everybody will agree with him including the haters and pac fans.
co-sign bro... LOL
Sorry, but I'm not going to explain to you how Duran was out of his prime not only in the Laing fight, but in any of his fights over 147 and arguably 135. You should be embarrassed even making that claim. I'm not even going to get into his bad training habits at that point of his career. I tell you what, make a thread asking this question and try to make your case that Kirkland Laing beat a prime Duran. I would like to see the responses you get. I'm also not going to explain to you how you can't rely on age as a barometer for ones prime. Why don't you look at Duran in his lightweight champion years and look at him fighting at 154 and up. Maybe you'll figure it out by then. Just because Duran still fought big fights is equivalent to saying Ali, Holyfield, Joe Louis, Chavez , Delahoya and many other fighters were still in their prime because they fought big fights throughout their careers. Delahoya still in his prime for Pacquiao? Ali for Holmes? Chavez for Tszyu? Holyfield just fought Valuev. Still in his prime? That's' some BS if you believe that. And Cuevas was done when Duran fought him. Duran was getting by on his skill which was some of the best in history. No way does that mean he was still prime. You seem to be throwing out names of fighters without knowing the history and timing of those fights.
So he was past his prime because he fought over 135? very interesting. People, including yourself are from the same cloth of calling people shot and done because they lose one fight. Again if he was done, then why was his fights with Hagler and Hearnes considered Mega-fights? I mean it's easy to do a revision of history and say this, but that was not the line of thinking back then.
BTW explain how a shot fighter than is completely above his highest fighting weight fights a competitive bout against the undisputed MW champ? I mean Hagler is arguable the greatest MW of all-time, yet you are saying that a shot, past his prime blown up lightweight (according to you) gave him a competitive fight?
Oh really? That's interesting. Who did Larios EVER beat on the level of Castillo, Casamayor or Freitas? I won't even get into numerous top fighters like Manfredy and Gainer who Corrales knocked out. I'll wait for your answer. And if you're using this to somehow make Manny's resume look even better, Larios was coming off a TKO loss previous to his fight with Pacquiao.
The fact that you are using Castillo, Casamayor, Freitas as potential HOF markers for Corrales is hysterical.
None of those guys are HOF fighters.
Probably because I wasn't talking to you. And all of that bullshit you just posted has nothing to do with what I posted. I never said Cotto was "done". I said he was past his best days. Even Freddie Roach acknowledged that. Put the Pacquiao pom pom's down and look objectively before you start preaching about objectivity. And my post had nothing to do with "fighter of the decade". The sad part is that you took time to do it. And if you don't think Diego Corrales belongs in the HOF you better check a lot of the fighters in there, son. Saying Corrales doesn't belong is ignorant on your part.
Laughable.
I guess in today's watered down boxing world someone like Corrales could be considered. But why? Really, justify his fall of fame status.
Other than Jose Luis Castillo, Acelino Freitas, Joel Casamayor, and Roberto Garcia (none of whom are HOF fighters) tell me who he beat to put him in the HOF.
Just because you have an entertaining style, are exciting, etc doesn't make you HOF. You think Gatti is getting in the HOF? Give me a break.
Now, they *might* get in because boxing is just watered down as compared to previous decades. The fact that people are considering Hatton for the HOF should tell you the state of boxing talent today.
I don't have a pom pom for Pacman cause I often root for him to lose. Unlike some people who are slowly working Floyds knob and would never root for him to lose.
I wonder who has voted on the "No" as these are the ones who are still in denial i wouldn't even be surprised when floyd loses they'd go berserk and go on a rampage shooting in their area disbelieving their god was a fraud afterall.
That's what i'm afraid of.
Floyd should come out to his closet and say it to the public that he was a gay, in that floyd will get an award as the "GREATEST HOMOSEXUAL FIGHTER OF ALL TIME" i'm sure everybody will agree with him including the haters and pac fans.
This fighter of the decade award make floyd so much jealous against pac. If only floyd didn't retired for 2 years instead he fought margarito, cotto, mosley and p.williams and beat them all this fighter of the decade should be an even battle between pacquiao and mayweather.
how is a 32 year old 74-2 fighter past his prime esp. since one lost came against arguable of the the greatest WW of all-time and another against the greatest 154lbs of all time? Also if he was past it then why was Haglar vs Duran and Hearnes vs Duran considered mega fights during that time. Also no past his prime fighter destroy Cuevas and wins the JMW title from Davey Moore? I'm not trying to flame but Lang beating Duran was considered upset of the year for a reason. If Duran was considered done..that fight would have never gotten that award.
