Official Fighter of the Decade Poll

[-EX-]

If Floyd face Pac, I wouldn't give him credit or award for that. How can you claim yourself as the best when you let your opponents clean up your biggest threats?

Pacquiao hasn't fought any of Floyd's threats...


And Floyd wouldn't fight Cotto at a catchweight...

[sandyvahra]

Pacquiao but if he loses to Cotto it does hurt his credentials...

I'd put Cotto in there before Winky...Cotto beat Zab, past prime Shane, Clottey, and Quintana...and Malignaggi and Torres are decent fighters.

Good point. Might depend on how he looks losing. There's been instances where a fighters stature increases despite a loss (leonard/hearns 1)

[Sonic Flood]

I'd say Paul Williams should be included here at least top 5

But if Pac beats them even at a catchweight, there is no reason for Floyd to fight them. He will claim his fame to greatness again by beating directly Pac without fighting those guys.

Well if Pac beat Cotto wouldn't that make him a better fighter? Floyd-Marquez was scheduled a while back...before talks of Cotto-Pac.

And if Pac beat Cotto and then Floyd went after Cotto people would say he was fighting Pac's leftovers...just as Cotto fought Judah and Corley after Floyd...

Relax it's just a poll

[MakeDamnSure]

1 more win for Pac will be his 3rd fighter of the year award for this decade.

how so? when floyd beat hatton when he was undefeated,and he beat DLH when de la hoya looked like himself not like a corpse when he fought manny.
