The two year retirement by floyd when the division he was fighting in was the hottest in boxing really hurt him. He could have easily won this award had he taken on at least one of the main welterweights at the time. A win over either margarito,mosley, cotto, paul williams, would have been enough to win the award. He retired & basically allowed pacquiao to become the global superstar & icon that he is in the sport today.
    Losing to a washed up morales......& then beating a washed up morales twice isnt impressive

    Beating Berrera the first time, impressive...beating Berrera 3 years later when he is undoubtebly washed up..not impressive

    Getting outboxed by Marquez in 2004 and then gettin outboxed 4 years later...not impressive

    Fighting the weakest belt holder@135 lbs...not impressive

    fighting a drained Oscar who wasnt @ 145lbs in over 8 years...not impressive

    Fighting A declined Hatton 2 years AFTER mayweather ko'ed him..not impressive

    fighting the WW champ at a catchweight..not impressive


    ^^^^^you are telling me this is criteria for fighter of the decade?

      Why can't people get over this? Years from now, the boxers who are remembered and inspire others will be the ones who matter.

        Floyd had no chance in this FOTD discussion
        it was just logical to talk about while comparing them in everything else
        Morales was washed up man....Berrera in the 2nd fight washed up

        got outboxed my Marquez twice

        you are telling me fighting MAB twice, JMM twice & Morales 3 times equates to being fighter of the decade?...lol

            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.
            a long stretch of time?....huh?

            he beat the #1 & #2 WW's at the time

                  Corrales was so weight drained that he fought at 130 again after floyd and he never went to jail.

                  That's 2-0 with castillo...that was cute though! Gatti was the champion at 140...how is he weigh drained?

                  And he a beat a oscar at 154 and hatton before pacquiao.


                  Please explain to me how a washed up morales and a larios gets u fighter of the year.....low expectations, that's how!
                  OWNED!

                  dude is a putz

                    In my opinion it's Floyd Mayweather Jr.

                    Due to his dominace, his skills, his consistency and being on top for so long.
