WTF are you saying? Apart from cheater Margarita, Floyd NEVER ducked anybody and sure as hell he didn't duck Pacquiao. Pacquiao made it hard for him to fight him. Look at Floyd's record. He fought people on the top, not hurt and damaged goods. The one time there was some doubt in the first Castillo fight? IMMEDIATE REMATCH. Now look how Manny handled the Bradley loss. Who's the coward? A fighter or a keyboard warrior who'd butt hurt?
Remember Shane Mosley tooth ache? Didn't want none of Floyd. Most didn't want non of Floyd until he hit his 30's and start slowing down a little.
Floyd's resume indicate he took harder fights than Manny. Fighting Cotto at his weight and all you know?
Remember they were fighters that floyd knew He could beat though .lol they have an excuse for every floyd win. If he fights serg at 154 he was drained,canelo too green,guerrero floyd knew he could beat him,andre ward he didnt let him fight n cali so ward mentally wasnt there,god he had ring rust lol.
Lmao at the sad flowmos having a ball...Floyd will be remembered as a coward even with all the talent in the world always ducked the toughest tests of the divisions he ventured above 135.
Pacquiao on the other hand? Ish Pacquiao been redhot since he dismantled Barrera for the first time, it was about time.
Marquez or Pac truly deserve champion of the decade, not ez touch Floyd.
:spank:

Pacquiao has lost arguably six times since Barrera..... avoided the best champions (Arguably) after 140...and the 154 title is one of the bigger jokes in boxing we've seen in a while since Martinez was too big to fight...but his belt was cool
Not trying to defend Floyd...but just sayin'.
I also don't agree with someones comparison of Marquez and Martinez. Martinez started out very late in boxing, so he's coming into his own at around the time his body is probably (more injury prone, etc although his mind/body are relatively fresh in terms of boxing )starting to decline. Most fighters at around that stage of their career would be prime, in both age and skill. Martinez has been at it for like what...16, 17 or so years now so he's been learning the most in his 30s. Most guys would have been around I dont know... 28..29?
Come on! They have fought 3 times before, Manny tried to prove he was on a different level since everyone and their mothers were saying he's the GOAT but paid for it, that's what's up. I think Manny is a great fighter but definitely not the greatest fighter of the decade, not by a long shot.
pac has a strong case for being considered fotd from 2000-2009. he accomplished a lot during that time frame...won his 4th lineal title in 4 different weight divisons (never been done), won 7 world titles in 7 different weight divisions (also never been done), beat/competed with fellow hof'ers and potential hof'ers in some of the most action packed fights... so to say he is "definitely not the greatest fighter of the decade, not by a long shot." is absolutely off base...no amount of getting ko'ed will take away pac's accomplishments.

jmm is a special case though....he is like martinez...he's old, but he can still compete at the top level. and pac seems to have shown signs of not having it anymore moreso than marquez...

You are telling me fighting him 3 times isn't enough to an ATG to figure out an opponent which was dominated in a younger version by the man these same Manny fans have made AN ACTIVE campaign to discredit as the best? I bet all you want every time a publication was released saying Manny fighter of the decade, Manny greatest of this generation, Manny Jesus second coming, all they were thinking about was Floyd Mayweather.
How about being KTFO by a fighter CLOSER to the end of his career? NO legit ATG ever gone that way. Name one.

probably about half of them, no real shame to get KTFO by a great fighter at the end of your career, just shows you don't have it anymore.

How many can you name?
Pac
Roy
Duran
Louis
Off top of my head with out thinking
I see what you did there... Trying to water it down. Expected.
A more interesting list:
List of ATG fighters who lost to older, past prime fighters.
Nearly all ATGs if not all lost to up and coming fighters. Manny was EXPOSED. Yes it's harsh but in a way he was, he was supposed to win. Think they made up that "Champion of the decade" belt for Marquez?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is hilarious!!!
