THE MOST IMPROVED FIGHTER OF THE DECADE: Manny Pacquiao

[S A M U R A I]

Undefeated is overrated if you are not accomplishing anything.

Pacquiao achieved a lot, though.

Is this all coming out because of last night's Pacquiao-Cotto fight? I've seen quite a lot of insecurity from the Floyd fans today. Nobody else though. Why is that?

3 HORUS 3

[Plat]

Pacman has accomplished more in 6 years than Floyd in 10 years...thats why he is fighter of the decade

[Horus]

Hmmm. who cares if it's 3 years or 10? If I can achieve the same or more in 10 minutes than someone who took over 10 years, I'm better. Simple. It's about achievements, not time.

It is about time if you are talking about a decade.

Prime Example, Lets say we were picking a team of the decade.
I am pretty sure people would argue for the spurs.

But the fact of the matter is for the entire decade.
The Lakers has been in 6 of the 10 championships
and won 4 of them.

While the Spurs have been in 3 of the last 10 championships
and won 3 of them.

We can say the spurs have accomplish alot in this decade, but they have not
dominated or been a force in the entire decade like the Lakers has.

Similar to Pacquiao and Mayweather.

We can say the Pacquiao have accomplish alot in this decade, but he have not dominated or been a force in the entire decade like the Mayweather has.

From Start to Now Mayweather has been at the TOP!
But we can not say that about Manny Pacquiao.


But what we can say is that he has improved the most out of all fighters this decade.

This is what I've been trying to say.

Again, if I achieved what Floyd achieved in ten minutes, I am a badass and I rule.

Basically, Manny shat on Floyd's accomplishments from a great height. I think Floyd fans realize this, hence why were in threads like this. No disrespect Horus, but Manny is the best. End of. We might not ever see another fighter like this in our lifetime.

How?
Half of the decade he wasnt even ranked!

A decade means ten years but they are talking about 2000-2010 I am sure. Pac has done quite abit from then I think with Barrera as the start in 2001/02 I think.

Rankings matter, but he beat some good competiton from then.

[S A M U R A I]

It is about time if you are talking about a decade.
---SNIP --

This is getting too long winded.

Look, time is irrelevant, it's all about what you've done. There is no way Floyd is fighter of the decade. He just won't be awarded that luxury.

Barrera was 2003, but yes, you're right.

Well the thing with Pac is, after he beat his first mayor big name scalp, which wasnt that long ago, he has beat name after name with not that much time in between.

So basically he hasnt wasted time, but has cleaned up very fast.

[boxasmash]

Mayweather first fight @ 135 = Emmanuel Augustus
Pacquiao first fight @ 135 = David Diaz
Mayweather first fight @ 140 = DeMarcus Corley
Pacquiao first fight @ 140 = Ricky Hatton
Mayweather first fight @ 147 = Sharmba Mitchell
Pacquiao first fight @ 147 Oscar De La Hoya

It took Mayweather 2 years to make the transition from Lightweight to Welterweight, it took Pacquiao 7 months. Pacquiao has fought a better fighter @ 147 within 1 year of going there than Mayweather has in 4 years there.
