Is Manny Pacquiao the fighter of the decade?

[DrewWoodside]

Right now its close. One more big win would put him over the top for me without a doubt though.

Floyd and Manny are neck and neck for the one spot. If absolutely forced to pick I would probably favor Manny. But strong arguments can be made for Mayweather with little difficulty.

Hopkins would most likely be 3rd followed by Calzaghe. After that it gets a little fuzzy.

I think Floyd may actually be a better fighter but Manny's resume is better..

Floyd? Is that a joke right?

Well...maybe not "whoop" but Oscar couldn't get to Mayweather is what i was implying.

PBF has to come out of retirement to stop Pac being ahead of him this decade.
BH i descibe more as a great spoiler than a great fighter in the truest sense of the word. But he does have a good record BH no doubt about it. But some naughty losses to JT.

No nutthug i agree with Espada...

Here's a reasonable argument, last week....last f***king week (lol) you said DLH was an ATG and Vargas, Quartey and Mayorga were HoFers. You said this, many of us saw it and shook our heads in disbelief. Now after Manny wins you're turning your back on DLH and asking if Pac is the best of the decade. When did you become such a bandwagon fan? Also instead of saying I'm this and that or I said this or that, find the posts and back up your words instead of making claims then backing down with your "flame on" cowards way out comment.

Next morning and you're still trying to start a flame war. Obsessed much?

As far as Manny goes, I've always been a fan. Oh, thats right, you wouldn't remember me arguing with boof and Joe about him on AOL because you were supposedly banned, right Fedor?

And when you can come up with 75 better fighters than DLH and why.....get back to me on the other thread and quit being a troll on this one. You couldn't even come up with 50 before. Until then, quit trying to act like you know something. You're an embarrassment to boxing fans everywhere.

if he runs the table and logs wins over hatton and floyd, then i would say so...


the HOF names collected on the resume would be hard to argue with

What if he just gets the Hatton win and say a Valero or somebody of that caliber before losing again? Would he still edge it out?

i think so...however, had Hopkins beaten Taylor and Calzaghe, it would be a much tougher choice

Hell, I think if Hopkins had beaten EITHER of those guys it would have been a much tougher choice. I think it was El Dominicano who made a great point about Bernard last night. Like I said then though, fighter of the decade has a lot to do with popularity as well as accomplishment. Hopkins fails in that catagory compared to Floyd or Manny. Its not fair, bujt it is the truth.
