Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao: Fighter of The Decade, Fighter of The Year

[zeidrich]

Well Tyson was the best heavyweight of the decade in the 1980s but when he got spanked in 1990 by Buster Douglas people rethought their decision. Most consider Holmes greater.

Same will happen to little pac. Enjoy the ride while you can..

well... i dont have a problem comparing pac to tyson.. if that`s what you mean

The prestigious Boxing Writers Association of America have named pound-for-pound king and Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao as the 2009 “Fighter of the Year” and capped the choice by also naming the superstar of the sport as the “Fighter of the Decade” effectively silencing the few who have dared to slander him and question his achievements in the ring by alleging he is on performance enhancing drugs without providing a shred of evidence.

gd gd...excellent news

I call bull****. I don't like Floyd one bit, but to me Pac should've had to fight him before being crowned with this achievement. If not Floyd, at least Mosley. And he fought neither guy. I think if their was a round robin between all those guys there would've been a possibility that Mosley could've gotten it too if he would've beaten either Floyd or Pac. But the thing that's bull**** is the other guys that are contenders for it in my view are fighting each other while Pac is going after a Top Rank fall guy coming off a loss.

floyd only fought marquez...for a mismatch!!!
who did mosley fought in 2009???

[jetgeomcx]

I disagree totally. Floyd should be it for Fighter of the Decade. The fact that Mayweather vs. Mosley will beat Pacquiao vs. Clottey in PPV will prove who is tops once and for all.

ppv hits is not the criteria!!

Amen. Has there ever been a fighter winning more awards throughout a decade than Pacquiao?

pacman won 3 foty....how manny for floyd?

[jetgeomcx]

It's still not right though no matter how anybody tries to spin it. I know Pac has better names on his resume than Mosley and Mayweather does. But I think there should've been something that took place to determine who's really superior out of the three by having them all fight each other. Is Pac gonna fight them? No!

klitshco was nominated....
would he rather fyt mosley or manny (never mind floyd) had klitshco won the accolade???
manny won 3 years in the past decade.

[jetgeomcx]

No. I'm not saying that. I don't think this reward should be given out yet period. I don't care if the decade is up. Mosley, Mayweather, and Pacquiao should have to all fight each other before this award is given out in my view. Let's see who the best in that decade really was regardless of resumes. It's only being fair dude.

you still don't get it.
and you're getting all the fluke here.
best in that decade = 2000-2009....must be given now!
not after they fyt ,... who knows when!!
results of 2010 fyts.....not manny's decade anymore
that is the next decade, brah !!

Fighter of the decade? That's insane! Floyd has to fight till he's 42 years old or fight two top welterweights at the same time to equal Pacquiao's pretigious award!

you forgot the bolded part.

[Mr. Philadel]

props to Manny......he did put in some major work over the last few years and deserves ALL the honors he's been getting......I enjoy watching that lil' dude fight......wish he would've took the tests and tested Floyd but it is what it is.......big ups to Manny!!
