If Pacquiao is the Fighter of the decade?



PACQUIAO IS THE MOST IMPROVED FIGHTER OF THE DECADE.
NOT THE FIGHTER OF THE DECADE!
BECAUSE HE DID NOT DOMINATE THE WHOLE DECADE!!
BUT HE HAS IMPROVED THE MOST THIS DECADE!!
(Hands Down)

PACQUIAO IS THE MOST IMPROVED FIGHTER OF THE DECADE.

Sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due, and right now credit is due. Manny Pacquaio is the pound 4 pound best fighter in the sport today.
And The most improved Fight of the Decade!!

now thats a very good point

[Heru]

Pacquiao wasnt even ranked for half of the decade.

How do you become fighter of the decade if for half of the decade you wasnt even ranked?

Not possible!

What he did become is the most improved fighter of the Decade.

Why are you counting 98, 99? Is that when your decade starts?

Do you know how hard it is to get on American P4P lists while fighting overseas?

Since 03, he's been fighting first ballot Hall of Famers moving up and meeting them at their weight class. Pacquiao has done more in his 6 years on P4P lists than Mayweather in his 10.

The best win of Mayweather's career was before the decade even started. Enough said.

[WarriorSoul]

Today is awesome, I seriously have not read as much ******ed threads like this in a long time...

I can't imagine what it's going to be like the day after Manny Pacquiao systematically dismantles Mayweathers 0.

Pac could beat Jesus Christ tommorrow and *****s and nonbelievers will still find excuses (Jesus was shot, not the same since the crucifixion, should have retired after the ressurection).

He was not ranked for half of the time, and he did not do what he did remaining undefeated!!

Try again..!

[Allucard]

what he accomplished for the time he has been P4P ranked has surpassed Floyd BY FAR,....he makes Floyd look like a clown.... kinda like how you look right now....

So you think remaining on the top p4p list for 10 consecutive years is easy. What Pacquiao did and what Floyd did are very similar things in reality. They are = in accomplishments and nothing someone so full of hate as yourself will tell me any different. I think by my own head and most people i know also think by their own heads. You are a prick.

[Horus]

now thats a very good point

Like I said before,

PACQUIAO IS THE MOST IMPROVED FIGHTER OF THE DECADE.

BECAUSE HE DID NOT DOMINATE THE WHOLE DECADE!!

Um.....no......no they're not

[TRAVI$]

Ok let's see...

Since 2000 Manny Pacquiao has held:

The IBF super bantamweight title
WBO super bantamweight title
IBF featherweight title
WBC International super featherweight title
WBC lightweight title
WBO welterweight title

That's 6 titles in 5 different weight classes

Since 2000 Floyd Mayweather has held:

The WBC super featherweight title
WBC lightweight title
WBC light welterweight title
IBF welterweight title
WBC welterweight title
WBC light middleweight title

That's 6 titles in 5 different weight classes

Pretty even, so now you look at the names on their resume

Pacquiao since 2000:
Marco Antonio Barrera (x2)
Erik Morales (x2)
Juan Manuel Marquez (and 1 draw)
David Diaz
Oscar De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
Miguel Cotto

Mayweather since 2000:
Diego Corrales
Castillo (x2)
Arturo Gatti
Zab Judah
Baldomir
Oscar De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
Juan Manuel Marquez


Both fighters are pretty close but Manny has faced better opposition and beaten them more impressively.

Great Horus, tell my why I'm wrong.

Answer this question.

Why didnt all the boxing experts rank Pacquiao higher than Mayweather
in
1998
1999
2000
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005
2006
2007
2008
If Pacquiao is the Fighter of the decade?

That's because Pacquiao only overtook Mayweather's legacy only fairly recently although IMO, I think Pac's accomplishments were pretty much being overlooked for a quite a while and should have been acknowledged earlier.

Prior to Cotto, Pac fought and won in 4 divisions in a span of a little over the year to really put Floyd's resume to shame. The Cotto demolition job with the 7 division feat bonus this weekend just puts some more distance between Pac and Mayweather's legacies. That and when you lump in the superfights he has won since Barrera, then his record is really the best out there that have been made over the past 10 years.

It's simple really... he may have been off the radar in the early part of the decade but when considering fighters within the decade it's Pac who turned out the most accomplished and with the most impressive victim/opponent credentials by the end of this decade.

Great Horus, tell my why I'm wrong.

READ THE OPENING POST.

He was not ranked for half of the time, and he did not do what he did remaining undefeated!!
