Come to think of it, Mayweather's win over Hernandez was in the 90's along with a few other of his wins at 130.
So that's quite a knock down for his 00-09 achievements.
Larry x shoots himself in the foot again with yet another 'In praise of Floyd' thread. How many of these is it now since the Marquez fight? He is taking bumsniffery down to new and uncharted depths.:nonono:
I just like to remind both of you that the award in question is based on a specific timeline.
Jan 1, 2000 up to December 31, 2009
in that period Floyd does not even come close to Pac in terms of level of opponents.
I agree Floyd is more skillful and maybe even more talented. But Accomplishment is mainly the basis.
Complete sense being spoken here^^^^. It is about accomplishment in that period and on that basis you can strongly argue having Hopkins ahead of Floyd. Its Manny though, he deserved it, but this forum being what it is,it doesnt surprise me at all that a few idiots want to try and take something away from the guy because he happened to lose three years after the decade ended. Twats.
Manny wasn't even relevant the 1st half of the decade outside of the 1 win against MAB he lost to Morales and had 2 draws and what was hopkins doing at that time?
lets see now 20 consecutive title defenses held all the belts becoming the undisputed MW its not even close
Manny won it because he had hype going at the time of the voting beating DLH Hatton and Cotto but truth be told looking at the whole decade he shouldn't come close to Hopkins collecting all the belts and basically owning the division as undisputed champion something Manny could never do
as far as accomplishments goes what Hopkins did is 10x bigger accomplishment then what manny did which is picking and choosing the weakest champion or vacant belt
lol criticizing Pacquiao's opposition...but mention Hopkins' defenses as some kind of grat achievement :lol1:
Hopkins was like 12-3 in the decade...
losing twice to Jermain Taylor :lol1:, since your holding Pacquiaos losses against legends against him
Pacquiao lost (officially) once in the whole decade...conquered from 122 to 147(of course, you believe Hopkins finally beating someone his size in Tarver is a greater feat...)
Floyd messed up by going on his first "retirement". He should've taken just six months off and fought again. IMO Manny only got fighter of the decade because he looked absolutely superb running up to the end of the decade.
tv show of teh decade sopranos or breaking bad?

im not hating on Bhop at all. He frequents our gym in Miami on the regular and he knows a bunch of us by names....Straight up dude...much respect for Bhop!
But he didnt quite make FOTD. And most experts would agree! And obviously did. Hence the reason Manny was awarded FOTY!

it does come close in terms of level of wins if not better not to mention Manny had 2 draws and a Loss to Floyd 0 as well as Floyd being ranked higher for the majority of that time period Pacuiao was ranked higher then Floyd only from 08-09
really the order should've been
Hopkins
Mayweather
Pacquiao

If we're honest about who represented boxing in the last 10 years, the foremost name is Pacquiao. His accomplishments can be easily argued, but I don't think that's what FOTD awards are about.
Floyd or manny................vote and discuss
Pac deserved it until he got knocked out cold.
