Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Blows Away Mayweather in BWAA's Decade Votes

[Jim Jeffries]

Only twice as many votes as Floyd?:WTF??:

This has nothing to do about race. You are the racist for saying that. For you to think that Mayweather has accomplished more then Pacquiao tells me you do not know anything about boxing. How can't you see the votes going this way. Mayweather sealed his own fate fighting fighters like Mitchell, calling up Hatton seven pounds to fight him, retiring when the division was loaded with great fighters, and the worse thing to ever do was making Marquez get bloated to fight him. You don't think that hurt his legacy while Pacquiao moves UP in weight and calls out the BIGGER fighters.

All I have to say is Bull ****. Mayweather is and has been the best fighter of the decade by far. I don't care what these so called writers think. Whats gonna be funny is when Mayweather beats Mosley and then Pacquiao(if the punk takes the test) how ****** they are gonna look. Real fans understand that there is hate for Mayweather by alot of these same writers. They can give manny what ever award they wanna give him, but they can't make me believe Mayweather is not the best fighter of the two. I would say the most exciting should be Pacquiao, and the most gifted should be Mayweather. Just another fake award giving to Pacquiao so that the *******s can masterbate on.

How can PBF be the best when he has a reputation for being a ducker of big fights and not having fought any decent fighters at 147? So because he ducked real tests with names who did he beat that made him the best of the decade? Did he beat not so great boxers spectacularly? Well you dont get extra points for beating not so great fighters on points spectacularly. YOu get them for taking challenges against great fighters, ie like Cotto, and beating them spectacularly.

Why would it be BS just because it didn't go with your opinions? Writers, journalists, and people within and about boxing agreed unanimously.

First of all, Pacquiao accomplished something unprecented:

• 7 weight division championships

and in the most dramatic ways in beating great and legendary fighters. The last 2 years alone is a testament to that.

How can Mayweather's career top that when he left too prematurely (retired)? Do you expect that to top one of the most dynamic ascension of any boxer in history since Henry Armstrong?

Mayweather is a great boxer, one of the best. I am sure he would be put into his own place and have already carved his own niche in boxing history. But to say that Pacquiao didn't earn the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE and FIGHTER OF THE YEAR is just too filled with hate and jealousy.

I agree with this. How can PBF be the best boxer of the decade when he himself said its not legacy that counts because it dont pay the bills. That says it all about PBF
Why cant *****s see this. PBF already admitted Pac was an extraordinary fighter, so Pac already has PBFs vote of approval

You cant be fighter of the decade if you got a reputation of not fighting the best people in their divisions and being labelled a ducker.
PBF worked hard to gain that reputation so on that basis alone he cant be fighter of the decade. Of this decade he will be one of the the more memorable ones, but cant be the best.

I can care less about who won the award. That **** is like the belts means absolutely nothing.

But the bold and the underlined I keep hearing people mention this. Explain to me how that statement is false. Nobody in any sport or other life calling lives off their legacy. It is nice to have but nobody receives a check because they have a great legacy. All that says to me is that he will take the money over legacy. I completely understand how that statement rubs people the wrong way I get that but it is not a false statement.

oh yeah!!! one guy . cotto!! didnt margarito destroy cotto?? didnt clottey beat cottos ass then get a gift decision to set up the pac fight??? mayweather beat a better delahoya than pac did, same for hatton, and jmm of whom im a big fan of ,although he was out of his weight class mayweather beat himeasily something pac did not , do. jmm beat pacs ass prtty much twice. all u writers and *******s can beat off to pacs blownup accomplishments but they do not measure up to mosley,mayweather or even margarito, because all those dudes beat the very same fighters BEFORE pac did when they were much much better.pac may have captured peeps imagination, hes a nice guy, but cmon lets be real who has he even beat to desereve that much praise?? nobody. nobody thats who.

How many of these people that voted are white?.....just curious

Since it's Boxing Writers of America...How many do you think are AMERICANS??

who cares?i don't and i'm sure mayweather does'nt either. mayweather spanks pac in the ring easily.

True. The king of Fantasy fights never loses.

Just how much better could Pac have beaten DLH and Hatton before he gets as much credit as PBF gets for beating them? He beat DLH faster and better than BH even did, yet Pac wont get as much credit as PBF, because PBF beat him before Pac. Pac treated DLH like a punchbag for all the fight yet it wasnt as valuable as PBFs win? So even if Pac knocked DLH in 10 seconds it still wouldnt have been as as good as PBFs split decision win over DLH, am i right? Most ridiculous and flawed comment that i keep hearing from *****s.

He beat Cotto. Cotto is someone no one has ever beat like Pac did. So Pac is at least as good as any WW Cotto ever faced. Dont Pac deserve massive credit for that? Marge beat Cotto. But he was behind before stopping Cotto. Marge never beat Cotto like Pac did.
Even PBF said Pac was an extraordinary fighter. David Diaz also said Pac was unbelievable. I dont hear David diaz saying that about anyone else he fought.
Dont you see it yet?
