    To be the best you gotta fight the best.

    Floyd jr will be graded on a higher scale because 1 he is not humble he is a bragger and says he is the best...2 he has amazing skillsa nd talent.

    he is fighting lower then his capabilities and that pisses me of.

    impressive would be him saying **** the money I wanna fight cotto, mosley, margarito.
    You have an argument about the limited skill fighting the best. In my opinion though that makes a great warrior or fighter but not always the best of the moment or decade. I agree that Floyd is leaving with many questions unanswered.

    Lets see what Pac does over the next 12 months. Maybe I will become a believer.

      pacman is the best Fighter in Boxing...he may not be the best boxer in boxing that goes to JMM and Floyd jr those guys are the most skilled technical boxers in boxing...but in terms of ferocious killer aggression he Was the guy.

      watch this this is the greatest pacman highlight ever! he was so slow and skinny when he was young it follows him from 16 years old to today look how he grew into his body crazy.

          you know what decade means right?

          2000-2010

          pacman has fought more hall of famer first ballot legends and beat them then those guys in 2000s-2010.
          Hey domain you count from 1-10. Not 0-10 which equals 11. This decade equals 2001-2010. In other words there is 2 and half years left, regardless, Pacman has been on the seen since 2003, half the decade and your giving him the whole decade?

          Who exactly did Ledwaba beat that was making him so special? Your not being nearly objective enough.

          Fact is PBF has fought more champions in the last 7 years then Pacman, and I like Pacman so much more then PBF.

          Pacman fought a Morales and lost to him when I'd say Morales was most definitely on his way out(14 years in the sport). Do you honestly think he would have beat a prime Morales at 122 or 126, I was watching a video where I seen Morales KO a guy literally. Morales was a monster when he was in his prime and he was just as fast with much more lethal combinations not just jabs and straight lefts.

          Seriously look at JMM, EM, and MAB by the time Pacman fought them they had all been in at least 15 wars. Juan Diaz stepped up he wanted Pacman pre-Campbell (I think Juan has a chance in a rematch against Campbell and a very good one at that). If Juan Diaz and Pacman fought my money goes on Juan Diaz. And to add Pacman was lucky to get a draw after knocking down an opponent? What does that say about him honestly? He is very limited.

          My point is this, Pacman can't be the fighter of the decade for the simple fact that he has really only been on the seen for half the decade, if that is the case then you have to throw in B-Hop, PBF, hell even Hatton, Cotto(who has been a champ as long), etc.

          PBF is the man regardless of how we feel. Dude has faced one guy in his last 8 years that wasn't a champ, Bruseles who was so suppose to be a solid fighter when he fought them. This is boxing regardless of us saying fighting, and the name of the game is hit and don't get hit. PBF was a KO artist before he broke his hands, at 23-0 he had 17 KOs which is solid at the lower weight classes. Mayweather has fought some tough cats. He has one fight that wasn't a championship bout in this decade.

          PBF is annoying, ****ty to watch, arrogant, and an *******, but he is the best. PBF is a 140 pounder that won a belt at 154 period. He is entirely to small to be fighting even at 147, he was busy chasing DLH for his personal vendetta where Mayweather Sr. said PBF will never be as good as DLH.

            FIGHTER OF THE DECADE??? PLEASE! You must be smoking crack! MP has been fighting the same 3 fighters since he broke into the scene (old ass fighters, where he clearly was the bigger, younger, stronger man.) He never fought the other natural super feather weight champs, and now he's too big for that division and so he's fighting what he and his handlers think is the easiest belt to go after. Best of the decade my a$$. Now JMM an old natural feather weight is chasing him "UP" to the light weight division. MP looked discouraged in the corner against Marquez and didn't wanna hear MP-JMM 3. He clearly has not fought ALL the best out there. When was the last time MP fought a young in prime champion???

              Oh and after all that PBF has one questionable W in his pro career, and that was the first Castillo fight(however I do think he lost it), he won the next one clearly. Pacman has a couple against one guy, if the guy can take his shot he is in big trouble. EM, JMM, and MAB(not as much as the other two), clearly gave him some serious fits.

                manny has guts and he often leaves them all over the place in the ring.

                fighter of the decade? i like it.

                and the way i see it- floyd has 2 years to do something about it.

                  You mean like the way floyd totally dominated and totally had non controversial wins over Jose Luis Castillo and Grandpa Oscar?? So much skill those rematches were totally unwarranted right??
                  okay, so he didn't dominate castillo, although the scores indicated that he won convincingly and with a torn rotator's cuff and cracked ribs, but he rematched him and beat him again, and he sd oscar although many people felt it was a ud, just like many people feel castillo beat floyd in the 1st fight. you happy now, floyd beat them both. floyd rematched oscar because he wanted another big payday and to prove the first fight was a ud, which imo it was 9 rounds to 3 or maybe 8-4 for floyd jr. castillo was his toughest fight and he beat him both times, deal with it. skillwise, he's the greatest of this decade and his generation, face it kid.

                    I dont give a damn, you're entitled to your own opinion but stick with the facts and dont spit out dumb **** like Pacman would never face a prime black man. He did in his US debut and made him look silly. Given that was a long time ago but floyd hasnt fought anyone in their prime for many years either, let alone a prime black man

                      He fought another black man (a belt holder) after that and get a draw after being fouled eight thousand times.

                      He fought another black man (a former belt holder) in his next bout and Knock him out in 2.



                      This Black man angle with pac is really idiotic.
