Stop crying, you sad *****. Get some sleep.

Pac's big trio of MAB, Erik, and JMM ****s on Floyd's entire resume
Floyd had no chance in this FOTD discussion
it was just logical to talk about while comparing them in everything else

WTF? Mitchell and Baldomir wasnt right? Basically butthurt

Mitchell was a tune up for Judah! Baldomir was the lineal champion of the division and was on a crazy win streak....what r u talking about!!!!

[cortdawg25]

You single out 00-03, how about the rest of the decade? I think you are trying too hard to discredit the guy. As for morales being washed up, pacquiao had a lot to do with it. All those fighters & fights you mentioned is highly debatable.

well after the 1st JMM fight he took on really nobody. he fought Morales 2 more times after that. and Morales was worn out because of his MAb wars and wars previous to pacquiao!!!


the point of single out 2000 -2003 is becuase that is part of the decade. Should we disregard that like we disregard his losses and draws????

MAB won against Ayala in 10 rounds after he got demolished by Pacquiao. What does that tell you?

Mitchell and Baldomir were atg's I heard.

comes down to pacquiao being fighter of the year 3 times and floyd 1 time.

also, floyd's two year absence and not fighting any top ranked welterweight for a long stretch of time hurt him in the end.

If mayweather would have came back a year earlier, or if he would have fought somebody like cotto at WW, he would be fighter of the century w/o question.

Pac defeated 3 lineal champs and 6 division titlists with better win-loss records over the decade, and he did it in spectacular fashion. If that is nothing to you, then your **** must be gold, asswipe. Face it, *****. Your boy came up second best. The best that you can do is push him to step up to the plate. He still has time to cement his own legacy.

Velazquez, larios, solis, diaz are all pretty weak to me. And I already stated how I feel about a washed Morales and MAB wins. The 1st win against MAB- kudos to him, but hat sec fight was garbage and the last fight with morales was garbage. He lost to a over the hill Morales for Christ sakes.
Our fighter of the decade has been taking Ls left and right throughout the decade!!!

pacquiao has only been fighter of the yr 3 times becuase no one ever expected much from him. Floyd has been expected to show greatness his whole career. When Floyd wins, he suppose to. Manny has never had to live up to those expectations.

so those 2 yrs off for retirement after dominating your whole career trumps not fighting anybody worth note for 3 yrs!!!


I agree he should have fought Cotto before retiring, but what i'm gon tell him when he ahs been dominating for years! he deserved a break...

Actually it was based on what he did, who he beat and how he beat them.

I agree he should have fought Cotto before retiring, but what i'm gon tell him when he ahs been dominating for years! he deserved a break...

yeah he's been dominating but there's too many years when he fought guys that simply do not equal "fighter of the year" or he didn't fight enough times and other people had better years.

I mean look at it when you break down his opponents by year:

2009 - Marquez
2008 - Retired
2007 - FIGHTER OF THE YEAR
2006 - Baldomir, Judah
2005 - Sharmba Mitchell, Arturo Gatti, Henry Bruseles
2004 - DeMarcus Corley
2003 - Phillip N'dou, Victoriano Sosa
2002 - Castillo twice
2001 - Jesus Chavez, Carlos Hernandez, Diego Corrales



So the one year he COULD have had fighter of the year, other than 2007 which he won, was 2001, and in 2001 the fighter of the year was Bernard Hopkins who was POUND 4 POUND #1 in the sport and he deserved that title by a long shot.
