floyd retired on his tenth year. he lost it.2 great fighters that have both put on nothing but masterpieces in their last few fights. It's hard to bet against Manny but I've never thought he could beat Floyd. After watching this video I still see things the same way. Manny will frustrate Floyd and even win a few rounds but I just think Floyd will be too much for him once the fight goes into deep waters.
Nothing against Manny because he's an incredible fighter. I just don't think he beats Floyd.Comment

Hey, count the years between 2000 and 2009..... now find the definition of decade.
Now rethink what you just posted.
Exactly what I am saying.... Pacquiao basically won an award for a decade(10yrs) worth of work, in exactly 7 years. Something is off there, if they considered Floyd for the award regardless of retirement.Pac didn't crack the list until 2003 and he was under Floyd, His whole stay on the list until Floyd retired.
1998- #8
1999- #2
2000- #7
2001- #5
2002- #8
2003- #5.......Pac was Number 6.
2004- #2.......Pac was Number 5.
2005- #1.......Pac was Number 5.
2006- #1.......Pac was Number 2.
2007- #1.......Pac was Number 2.
2008- Floyd RETIRED.....Pac was # 1.
2009- #2...................Pac was Number 1.
Floyd has been one of the Ten Best fighters in the world for 11 years. He was on the list 5 times in a row before Pac was even close.
Also when Pac moved up 2 weight classes.
The two Number 1 guys at Bantam and Jr. Bantam were Tim Austin and Mark Johnson two of the slickest boxers around at that time.

all this proves is that Manny has came full-circle and earned his top 2 p4p rankings.
Floyd is that man, but he retired. When you retire, you give up all the rankings and titles you had. Manny came in and swept them from everyone that was fighting for the p4p title that we all love to give out.
Since his return, Floyd has looked amazing and some might have him at the one spot, but let's not discredit Manny for all the things he's accomplished throughout the years. He was learning on the job so that's a big reason why he has a few blemishes early in his career.
*sidenote* I think Floyd is p4p the best fighter in the world but let's give Manny his props.Comment
