This is true. In those 2 years, if Floyd had fought Mosley, Margarito, Cotto and Williams......he could tie Pac for FOTD. :fing02: co-sign, those are the fighters that floyd should have fought to even pac in fighter of the decade award. Too bad he only fought mosley and it was in the next decade after mosley got older.

Floyd never "blew it" because even if didn't retire, Manny was gonna win regardless. People act like he was gonna fight Pavlik, Williams, and Hopkins during those two years he was out. In reality Pac was on his way to winning it (the momentum he was building) even before Floyd retired....hence him winning by a wide margin. I agree, even floyd didn't retire pac will still get the fighter of the decade.
