"What award they gonna give my son when he whoops Pacquiao," stated world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., who was highly disappointed with the decision of the Boxing Writers Association of America to award Filipino boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao with the "Fighter of the Decade" award. Obviously feeling that his son, Floyd Mayweather Jr., should have received the award, Sr. went on to call into question Pacquiao's accomplishments.
"Pacquiao ain't no ****ing fighter of the decade. He is a pussy," a heated Mayweather Sr. commented. "Pacquiao has 2 draws and a loss in this decade. Lil' Floyd is undefeated in this decade and in his career. On top of that, Pacquiao beat 2 guys Lil' Floyd already beat and struggled twice with a guy Floyd blanked out 12 rounds to nothing," he added, implying that Pacquiao's achievments pale in comparison to those of his son.
Not only feeling that his son was slighted, Mayweather Sr. also believes that the true boxing fans, as well as the sport itself, was slighted with the BWAA's pick. "That's the kind of shit that hurts boxing. It makes no sense. Too many people in the sport don't know what the ****'s going on. That kind of shit right there is why boxing stays on the ropes," he added.
Whether or not you agree or disagree with Mayweather Sr., the good news is that he's sounding more and more like he's expecting his son to step into the ring with Manny Pacquiao in the very near future.

Blame arum for this shyt. Yet again he doesnt let this good fight happen but had no problem putting on a bullshit ass show such as pac vs. clottey. Arum said in his own words that cotto wasn't ready for floyd.
"He's afraid to lose," promoter Bob Arum, quoted by the Arizona Republic , regarding WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25KOs).
Everyone has been examining the latest news of Mayweather making a possible jump to Mixed Martial Arts. ESPN were the first to break the story of a Thursday meeting between Mayweather and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who also owns HDNet Fights. The two sat down to discuss Mayweather's possible debut in MMA. Mayweather and Cuban became friends on the ABC reality show "Dancing with the Stars."
MMA fans are curious if Mayweather will actually go through with his journey into full contact fighting, but many boxing fans were not pleased with the news. In the opinion of many, Mayweather still has unfinished business in the sport of boxing. The business at hand, is a unification bout with WBA champ Miguel Cotto (31-0, 25KOs) of Puerto Rico.
A few weeks ago, Mayweather wished Cotto the best with his career, but sees no financial gain by fighting him at the moment. Many insiders think the real reason is the bad blood with Cotto's promoter Arum, who promoted Mayweather for the majority of his career. Mayweather, on several occasions, has vowed to never do business with Arum. Arum considers the bad blood an excuse, he says Mayweather is running scared and predicts the fight will never take place.
"I can tell you what he'll say," Arum said. "He'll say he won't fight Cotto because of me, because of Bob Arum. But that's not it. He doesn't want to take a chance. He'll never fight Cotto. Never, ever."
If Mayweather enters the world of MMA, and loses, his aura of invincibility will be shattered in the world of boxing. How would look for the sport of boxing if the number- one pound-for-pound fighter in the world is choked out, or knocked out, by a medicore mixed martial artist. I find it hard to believe that Mayweather would face a top-level MMA star in his very first fight. Most boxing writers, and MMA writers as well, see this as nothing more than a publicity stunt by Mayweather and Cuban.

Take the RANDOM Drug Tests Pacquiao......................
Which one? The 24/7/365 all year round like the Olympic or the 2 months OST Floyd invented one?
He'll win the Ring's Fighter of the Year for 2010.
Too late for Fighter of the Decade.
He will get a knighthood from the queen for his bravery and stepping up to the plate.
Hes got a good great chance of giving pac the biggest problems hes ever had. So he dont deserve no bravery award, but if that is the incentive to get him into the ring with PBF. I think the queen should give him the award now.
if floyd beats the pacman in november 2010 hell be awarded by the flomos' fighter of the decade because flomos decade dont end till dec 31, 2010 (fact).
fighter of the decade is all about taking the risk and overcoming adversity, simple as that. who took the most risks? who keeps on overcoming adversity, being down but never out, keep on striving keep on fighting? Floyd?
THe award Pacquiao got is a joke.Fighting people at catchweights aint achievements.Besides his so called greatest wins were men who had already been destroyed by others.DelaHoya hardly beat Forbes and was weight drained,Hatton was finished,Cotto had been destroyed by Margarito and fought at catch weight,Marquez really beat this guy and he lost to Morales then that doesnt really look like a fight of the decade.
That award is a joke,let's see what they say when Floyd destroys this hype
Floyd has fought an higher percentage of his fights at a catchweight. So in your mind he could definately noy have won the award in your mind!
Hardly beat Forbes? Ok...
judge: Max DeLuca 119-109 | judge: Marcos Rosales 120-108 | judge: Marty Sammon 119-109
The rest is just the same old BS...
so the winner was determined in a democratic fashion, im a floyd fan and i know pacquiao is more popular than floyd. his style is more entertaining and thus more fans.theres no electorate in place to balance out the popular vote. weather or not you want to admitt it its been popular for a while for boxing writers to not hold up to there journalistic integrity and instead of just reporting facts they report their feelings i.e. opinions. in this trend it has been very popular to hate floyd. so because there is no electorate of non biased boxing writers to balance out the popular vote its simply a popularity contest. manny is more popular and so he wins.
Horus would disown you
I'll commend floyd for finally having the balls to finally face an imminent threat to his fraudness.
Award? nah...no ones gives award to frauds. Only jail times.

Still butt hurt? Don't you worry floyd still has his chance to get the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE this coming 2019. nyahahahaahaha
floyd sr is rather full of himself tbh....anyways to answer his question floyd jr would be awarded the ring fighter of the year or decade award if he beats manny pacqiuao
I think Floyd Sr. should realize that boxing,though bloody and vilolent kind of sport, is a form of entertainment.Pacquiao, to BWAA, provided much more excitement to boxing than Floyd Jr., who retired for almost two years from boxing in this decade.He returned to boxing to fight Marquez who he cheated on the scales.Yes Pacman had draws and a loss but that made him more "human". Anyway the American Muhammad Ali is 'The Greatest" despite having losses.So, if he wants his son to at least get the FOTY award next time, let him fight without those unnecessary stumbling blocks (OST, e.g.) in the negotiation. Or else USADA may have to think of an award like 'Best OST Marketer Award' to Jr.
In all honestly regardless of Floyds outside of the ring antics which isnt the reason why he did not get the FOTDecade award.. Floyd will be Floyd inside and out BUT if he fought tougher opposition instead of picking Judah who was coming of a loss, Baldomir, retired when the WW division was callin him out, fought lightweight Marquez, made Hatton move up to his weight then he would of gotten the award
Bottomline is this, Floyd is skilled, technical and a smart fighter but also a smart business man who takes the BIGGEST REWARD WITH LESS RISK..
nyahahahaha. you could really see the pain and jealousy in the mayweather's family because floyd didn't get the fighter of the decade. Sorry floyd that's what you get when you duck every threat in your division. Better luck next time...... :lol1:
THe award Pacquiao got is a joke.1. Fighting people at catchweights aint achievements.Besides 2.his so called greatest wins were men who had already been destroyed by others.DelaHoya hardly beat Forbes and was weight drained,Hatton was finished,Cotto had been destroyed by Margarito and fought at catch weight,Marquez really beat this guy and he lost to Morales then that doesnt really look like a fight of the decade.
That award is a joke,let's see what they say when Floyd destroys this hype
1. So fighting lightweights when your a Welterweight is ok and its ok to come in over the catchweight limit.. Got it..
2. So Hattons 1 lost against Floyd and hes washed up but after Hatton fought Paulie critics were saying Hatton was a new fighter under Floyd Sr.
Cottos one loss over Margarito makes him washed up now. Go tell that to Emmanuel Steward. Tell Steward its pointless to try to train Cotto cause hes done.
Pac lost to Morales but avenged his loss in two TKO stoppages.
All my points says if Floyd got the award then it wouldnt be a joke.. Lets face it.. your a hater..

According to your theory
The so called great Mayweather Jr. lost the Fighter Of The Decade award to a fighter who already have been destroyed by other before LOL.
Sr. makes some good points but he failed to mention his son not fighting an unbeaten Cotto when that fight was hot......he retired with another UNDEFEATED fighter worthy of his crown.....instead of putting off his fake retirement for a fight, he skated off into the casinos.....Sr. left that part out!!
