    Look at the top 2 P4P dudes in Pac and Mayweather. They got there somehow didn't they??? They didn't get the Donaire treatment.
    Im asking did he look like the BEST fighter in the world. yes or no?

    Your're dodging the question.

      Yes or No.

      Just like Morales didn't look like the #6 best fighter in the world when he fought Pacquiao.

      See the logic here?
      Shane was coming off a dominant KO victory.

          Um you're forgetting that has nothing to do with the fact he was ranked 6th.

            You're the biggest fan of dodging like Mayweather. You always expect me to answer your questions but fail to answer some of mine. Then when I answer yours, you're always trying to twist ****.

              Did he or did he not look like the 3rd best fighter on earth when he fought Mayweather?

                not prime but not shot either during the first 2 fights. if this is about that fighter of the decade thing, i would stick pick a win over a past prime morales compared to 2 wins over the great linear champ baldomir and the extremely motivated zab judah.

                you do know that it's pretty much a wasted effort trying to argue these things just to prove mayweather should have won more foty awards since picking the fighter of the decade doesn't just involve counting foty awards of the same decade, right? it's all about the overall body of work and achievements, etc., of the entire decade... not just spreading your wins thin enough thru the said decade so you can win fighter of the year multiple times.

                  Yes.

                  Remember he almost stopped him in 2 rounds.

                  Floyd just dominated him. Floyd has a habit of making good fighters look like ****.

                    After how long?? Did he look like the dominant P4P #3 fighter in the world after struggling with Mayorga and being so inactive??

                    See how easy it is to twist **** just like you do with Whitaker?
