How did Pacquiao get "Fighter of the decade" when he got knocked out and outboxed?

[billw84]

First of all, y'nah'sayin', he got knocked out before 2000. Secondly, y'nah'sayin', he avenged his only loss, y'nah'sayin' of the decade in dramatic and, y'nah'sayin', impressive fashion.

Basically, he did what he had to do, got it in and put that work down, y'nah'sayin'.

i agree. n'stuff. you know.

So far there has been nothing but trolling...

[lebrick]

His 2 knock out losses were pre 2000.....

So, the last 10 years = Pac fighter of the decade, you ***in waste of space

don't waste your time on a useless piece of meat..

Knocked out by 2 bums and losing almost every round to Erik Morales

Yet he is fighter of the year? What a joke

If anyone can explain why Pacquiao is more deserving then please do. Floyd Mayweather is far, far, far more deserving in my opinion

But try and do it intelligently if possible

Because the white press was trying to get a non black fighter as a hero

Pacquiao didn't stop surprising at the end of the decade.
Look at their mutual opponents :
Delahoya , Hatton , Marquez.
Pacquiao did much better against the first 2 and IMO against Marquez as well. Floyd with all of his huge size advantage over Marquez , which Pac did not have , still was unable to floor him. Pac did many times. Note that under the 3 knockdowns rule , Pac stopped Marquez in the first round. Floyd was unable to do it over an entire fight despite being vastly bigger .
Pac's draw against Marquez is a win for me.

But Pac's stoppage losses do take away from his greatness , although one of them was by a borderline low blow , but I may be wrong about it , that video is on youtube.

I saw it and I still don't know if it was low or not.
For me Pac-Cotto being a catchweight fight and remembering the damage Cotto took from Margachito's loaded gloves does take away from that win , but remembering Cotto is a 1 year younger than Pac and the fact Cotto used to fight at 140 gives something back to that win.

I think it is close but I think Pac deserved it more than Floyd did.

Well he definetly isnt "black"

What it is, The media and alot of people within boxing are desperate to build a fighter that can beat Floyd Mayweather and become a worldwide star. But its not going to happen

Yeah I agree,

That's why Floyd's crying for support from fellow americans! How pathetic is that!

IMHO Floyd is as good as a stand alone, history would be good for him and the memories will always be that he's an ATG, so is with Pacquiao. Problem is he always has that "victim complex" (thanks S.G.) alongside his shadow and he's somewhat bitter that his countrymen don't support him.

He needs to just do what he does best, don't mind whatever out there is, as he created his own persona to cash cheques, it's ******ed to ask support WTF!
