I hate BS!! All we get is BS instead of straight talk. Is random testing needed and good for boxing? How can anyone be a fan of someone not willing to be randomly tested? Phuck anybody who says Floyd should fight this clown anyway cause if he should then Barry Bonds is the homerun king. Manny's little monkey ass needs to man up and take the test or retire. If Floyd had plaster in his handwraps or was under su****ion for using a PED the world would be calling for his head. Not only would he be through in the ring he would certainly do jail time. People talk **** about the 0 but why is Marciano so great?Comment

[QUOTE=lskjersey;7421628]
BWAA gave him fighter of the decade based on the last 3 years
Compare the last decade
the first 7 years of last decade
Wright
Mayweather
Cotto
DLH
Hopkins
Not just the last few years
Paq is whats hot so they are voting the decade based on a few years
lets see floyd mayweather 1998-2001 defended superfeather weight title 9 times 2001 destroyed diego corrales 2002 beat Castillo twice made three defences of his title 2004 destroys Arturo Gatti vacates to move up to welter 2006 beats #2 welter and then #1 welter 2007 beats Oscar DLH at his own weight class and then Ko's unbeaten Ricky Hatton takes almost two years off and Outclasses a smaller Marquez.
Winky Wright beat Mosley twice Trinidad by a blow out we all know he whoop taylor then went two classes up to fight Hopkins and 160 to fight williams
Hopkins for the first five years held the midlle weight title. Defeating DLH by knockout! Felix trinidad by Knockout! lost twice by suspect score cards to jermain the garbage man taylor. beat Winky Wright Beat Pavlik lost to Joe Calz and Humiliated Antonio Tarver
These fighters did not even get a nod because the last two years has been all about Pacman.
This award is based on accomplishments over Ten years.
Pacman from 2000 to 2003 no known fighters. 2003 beat Barrera 2004 draw with JMM lost to Erik Morales in 2005 beat Morales 2 times in 2006 Beat Barrera again in 2007 got beat by JMM in 2008 though score cards say pac won. and Diaz 2008 fought oscar drained down to 147 weighed more than oscar on fight night 2009 solid win over Hatton 2009 drained Cotto to fight him as well
He fought the same three guys half of his carreer the other half he fought no names. the last three years he has not fought an elite fighter without *****g them at a disadvantage to their body......save for hatton the glass chin wonder boy
now compare ten years to ten years not past 3 year to past three years. a decade started back in 2000!
I would agree with your general point. I think overall Mosley deserves it but I'm basing that on hard work and the road he took to get there.
I framed my point around whether or not as some posters had suggested, that Mayweather should have gotten the nod. A lot goes into the thought process of these writers and it wasn't a closely contested vote in favor of Pac.
Mayweather who came in second, the writers probably asked themselves a simple question... since 2005 to present, half a decade...what ranked opposition within the welterweight division did Mayweather fight and then they critiqued his opposition and voted accordingly.Comment
