            Well it couldn't be for the 80's, and obviously not the OO's since that was Pac. What other decade was there?

            The same people who awarded Pac FOTD.

                      Well, the reason why Manny winning would be a big deal is because Floyd still hasn't lost. So I'd understand making a deal over that. However, Floyd beating Manny would DEFINITELY knock A LOT of people off of the Pacquiao bandwagon. You might even have a few hypocrites here and there suddenly saying, "Well, Pacquiao was never that good anyway..."

                      The reason why I'd like to see Floyd win is just so we can have a massive clean-up on this site and give the general short-term memory media a reminder...that the sweet science will always prevail.

                      It's a sniper against a guy with an assault gun...
