Is this a coincidence? both relied on speed,and athleticism and lacked fundamentals. Neither possessed the fundamental skills to have a long career,just found this strange

Fundamental boxing skills are not the be all and end all, neither is having a long career.
Pac sure got pretty damn far with the lack of skills he has.
I guess I should take up boxing because I sure as hell don't possess any skills these boxers have.
Must be easy work.
Larry's threads always garbage.
Now being the FOTD is bad thing :lol1:
:lol1:..hatin on a good thing...but b1tches a lot when somebody else does it to his F@g hero...
Yea floyd should've been fighter of the decade if only he didn't retire. I can't lie tho 2006-2009 manny was dominating so it was really a toss up. Interesting fact tho.
Notice that the top 3 p4p (not mine personally but a good majority of media)fighters are all defensive minded boxers. Ie mayweather ward bradley
It just seems the award is handed out to excitement rather then fundamental fighters who remain steady and on top..in the 90's Whitaker could easily have gotten it,in the 2000's Floyd could have easily gotten it..but it seems they do not award defensive fighters
Roy Jones was best defensive fighter of the 90s tho:dunno:
Finally you acknowledge that pac was FOTD ;)
LOL only when it suits his Pac hating agenda. But the comparison is legit, Pac and Roy are very similar the only difference is Roy has a slightly better chin than Manny, Roy has never been put to sleep, Pacman has.
are you serious?
Pacquiao became a professional in '95 and has had over 60 fights
Haha, this. Pacquiao has been a proffesional longer than Floyd… :lol1:

Whitaker didn't get the big wins he needed against JCC and ODH (robbed, but still not Ws) and was going out on a loss(Tito)
Had Floyd not retired and beaten the likes of Marg, Mosley and Cotto he may have won it.
