Yes he is, he earned it. I'm surprised to be even liking this guy, I never though I'd be a Pacquaio fan, but he sincerely won me over. Pacman today would **** up the pacman of the yesteryears.
I have Pac inching ahead as fighter of the decade simply because of Floyd's inactivity due to retirement.
While Floyd has been retired, Pac has won 4 fights in that time period, retained superfeather title, won lightweight title, and won a light welter title and beating the ****** zombie DLH.
It's pretty close though. Floyd has some notable wins in the early part of the decade against great fighters but to me Pac has inched ahead now because of his activity.
Floyd's 1 fight in 2004 doesn't help much either so I give the nod to Pac but if Mayweather can win once or twice this year, I would have him slightly ahead again.
If Floyd had taken on better comp and won at 147would you feel dlifferent? I know I would.
This is some disrespectful ****. Bernard Hopkins should be ahead of Floyd for fighter of the decade, Mayweather is clearly 3rd in this discussion.
Nard has to betaken into consideration in my opinion. But do beating Tito,Tarver and Pav surpass the accomplishmets of Manny? I don't think so. As great as Hop is, his accomplishments are magnified because of his age. He has been impressive, but don't think he's ahead of Manny or Floyd. Jmo.
