Manny beating Floyd would do more for his legacy than Floyd beating Manny..why?

80's DECADE: Sugar Ray Leonard
90's DECADE: Roy Jones Jr.
2000's DECADE: Manny Pacquiao

Its a shame that they gave it to Pacquiao who lost and had 2 draws , its just shows how much Pacquiao was overrated .

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.

Ok, I just found the BWA did. For some reason I thought it was Pea or Oscar.

A fighter of the decade losing around 6 years out of that decade doesn't really hold much water in the whole "Fighter of the decade losing" argument. Pac losing much closer to his FOTD inauguration than Jones is more relevant.

How is it more relevant? None of that is more relevant...SRL losing in 91' to Terry Norris. Is not more relevant than Pac losing in 03'. Because, obviously once again you missed the point...That KO'ing the FOTD does move you up to the GOAT

Beating Lehdwaba (underdog win)
Barrera (Big Underdog win)
Marquez
Morales
Hatton
Clottey
Cotto

He deserved the honour IMO. How can you take Floyd's word on the current situation of boxing? The guy doesn't even watch, apparently.

It's a bigger shame that only the *****S could NOT accept it. Move on....the decades over, we are on to a new one.

Because, he obviously deserved...He wasn't the only one that deserved it. There were 2 other fighters that were in the running as well...Anyone of them could have won the award. You might not have preferred Pac or prefer someone else. Because, at the end of the day it's a matter of opinion. But, 3 people in that decade were above everyone else IMO...And, one of those 3 won it.

Morales was drained and came off a loss against Zahir Raheem , the fight with Cotto was a Catchweight fight and the 2 fights with Marquez ended with controversial decisions .

And, BTW why did you think it was Oscar? I could see Whitaker...I actually preferred Whitaker in that decade. But, Roy deserved it as well. Again it's just a matter of preference. But, Oscar? He had no case whatsoever.

They weren't controversial. They were close fights, Pac got the nod.

I understand you love Floyd and hate Pac but try being objective once in awhile. So who do you think deserved it?
