Why didnt Floyd get Fighter of the Decade?

Mayweather fighter of the decade, hit and run= Boring fighter of the decade. you cant be serious....

castillo got rob.

Mayweather fighter of the decade, hit and run= Boring fighter of the decade.

Pacs got the better resume, he was the rightful p4p fighter. Just cos Floyd was on paper touted as no1, it was Pac who quietly went about his work, of fighting top, and great names. Floyd the attention seeker manufactured his no1 spot with his big mouth. If Pac was more vocal and demanding his rights, which was the no1 spot, he may have got what he wanted. Just like in the real world, you dont ask you dont get. Right now in the top 10 p4p there is someone who is above someone else who probably shouldnt be. Thats what it was when Floyd was considered no1 as well. Floyds fans are greedy like Floyd was, and they expect things to be given to them on a plate like the queen or soemthing. You dont get nothing in this world for free, and certainly dont get FOTD awards when you have a reputation as a ducker and a coward and take self induced lay offs when the urge comes over you. Lol okay mate.

LMAO! Floyd was ring magazine p4p no1 between 2005 and 2008 when he retired. He was ESPN's p4p no1 between 2005 and 2008. He was Yahoo's p4p no1 between 2005-2008. He was even Rick Reeno's p4p no1 since 2005-2008. Stop talking nonsense. Pac got no2 after the Morales fight. You know nothing about boxing. You haven't been watching the sport long enough.

The simple answer to the thread question is someone else deserved it more. No shame in coming second or even third in such a prestigious category though.

its a popularity contest its not based off of a merit system.

haha. look at the p a c t a r d s coming into defend manny Juiceuiao How many years are there in a decade?...I will give you a clue...the answer isnt eleven.

On the contrary, Floyd was only ever no1 p4p because he talked and his p4p king status is manufactured by himself, and then his fans followed suit nazi propoganda style on a big scale. But Pac was always no1, as soon as he beat Barrera. If Floyd hasnt beat anyone as good as Pac he was never no1 and it was manufactured. The truth must be told. But it is the worst kept secret in the world in reality, just Pac fans are humble and not too vocal. LMAO! Floyd was ring magazine p4p no1 between 2005 and 2008 when he retired.

Maybe because he is a cherry picker and finally now is stepping up which I applaud. He may prove everyone that he really is the best out there but he needs to step up with the cream and the crop of boxing... Manny, Margarito even when people say he is done he is still dangerous, I think Mayweather has been very smart and we know that. He is a coward in my book based on the fact that he waits until a fighter is either hurt or done in order to fight him out of his prime. I think in his early career he was great but later on it was all business to him and he was so careful people know and hated the fact and literally saw him as a duckling duck. Ahh I almost forgot.. even if Mayweather wins he will not get credit for it from us real boxing fans we know what he is doing we know he waited to fight a damaged Cotto and he plans to do the same with every fighter he is afraid off. That is why I dont like him and never will respect him as a boxer.

nope im not bias.... at all. I hate Floyd in and out the ring. Im also not naive either. Or like a fighter based on race or color of skin! I tell it like it is. You just to blind to see it. I was gonna say stupid but i found that inappropriate and decided on blind! hehehe :lol1::lol1: He ain't no "FIGHTER" A Fighter, come what may, just slug it out toe 2 toe! What he got is the Defensive Instinct! always protect yourself! If opponent got great chances of winning then, dodge, & duck protect the ego(0)! Find reasons and put all blame to the opponent! You should stick to watching the Rocky movies.

Somebody please inform Ring Magazine that beating past prime Barrera is the criteria for being p4p king.

when noone else but him has dominated the sport for 16 years straight without a loss? :dunno: How about, Coward of the Decade!?? He got my Vote!!! There's no other Candidate for FOTD!!! Pac got that sealed when he dominated DLH! Where was Floyd during those times?? Ohh Retired!! & Protecting his Zero!

Floyd got 6 loses in the Amateur! Pac got 4 but turned Pro early! Floyd lost to Castillo! Cant KO Castillo in the rematch! Pac lost to Morales Pac Ko Morales 2 times! Floyd got SD against DLH Pac KO DLH Floyd beat JMM while he's overweight & cheat JMM in weight! Pac has 2 wins against JMM fair & square! Pac fought & beat Morales & Barerra! Floyd never! Pac fought Margarito! Floyd ducks Cheato! Pac KOs Cotto! Floyd's fighting Pac Leftover & will not KO Cotto! Pac's Never retire to duck! He fights everybody instead! Floyd retires when Pac fight is available! He retires when Cotto & Margarito wants to fight him!

Of course a case can be made. Many people consider him to be that. Many don't. It's all a matter of opinion. It's a matter of opinion if it is coming from one person or a few fans of the losing boxer. But if was a decision by an overwhelming majority of a respected group then it becomes a powerful consensus. And when this consensus comes from the Boxing Writers Association Of America, it puts the opinion of a disgruntled group of fans to where it properly belongs, in the trash bin. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=bwaa%20fighter%20of%20the%20decade&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsports.espn.go.com%2Fsports%2Fboxing%2Fnews%2Fstory%3Fid%3D4875455&ei=sKFkT9-jJcnn0QHxwNG3CA&usg=AFQjCNF3zJNFpdfYkDR4uWxoo1uv4gwGZQ

Manny never fights toe to toe with people. He runs in and out. So I guess you agree Manny isn't a "fighter" by your definition either. You're wrong: Manny doesn't fight with people he fights with professional boxer inside the ring; Manny doesn't RUNS in and out; he moves laterally to find openings! He is a Fighter, as you can see in video, exchanging blows with his opponents!

He should have. Titles in multiple divisions, great resume, never lost, only came close to losing once, carried the 24/7 series, was a part of the biggest fight in the history of boxing. A case can certainly be made. Of course a case can be made. Many people consider him to be that. Many don't. It's all a matter of opinion.

If Floyd was as humble as Pacquiao, he would have got FOTD. 100% without a doubt and everyone knows it. Don't forget, Pacquiao only became p4p no 1 when Floyd retired. When they both was active fighters, NO ONE had Pacquiao as the best fighter in the world. He got that accolade because Floyd retired. But we all know who the better fighter is. Just hope they fight so Floyd can finally shut everyone up.

Marquez should be fighter of the decade and p4p no.1

As much as I like Floyd he didn't deserve it due to inactivity, both Hopkins and Pacquiao were more deserving.
