Can anyone really debate Pac being fighter of decade?

[Larry the boss]

Barrera trumps any win Floyd has, lets say Hatton
Cotto bigger win than Castillo given that Pacquiao was seen as a midget moving up
Marquez bigger win than Oscar
Morales bigger win (s) than Judah
Corales was a nice win too but you can substitute that for the 2nd Barrera win and that's still pretty close (Barrera just had razor thin loss to Marquez)

Gatti and Baldomir you shouldn't have put on the list, it looks dumb. Margarito and Clottey both better fighters/wins than those two.

Barrera was a great win for manny no doubt..but not bigger then any floyd win..corrales is on par with that win

marquez win is disputed and not bigger then floyds oscar win,in that same breath floyd beat jmm to and dominated him

Morales was shot to **** and drained,not to mention coming off of a shut out loss

margo win is a joke and clottey never beat anyone worth mentioning,......atleast baldo was the lineal champ and gatti is a hall of famer

Manny won it whether some feel he deserved it and others feel he didn't nothing is gonna change who won it. Congrats to Manny

To answer the thread question: Yes it can easily be debated.

Manny lost to Morales than beat him twice after he lost to Zahir Raheem. He was the only fight erik won between late 04-07. are the morales wins really that impressive?

Floyd fought Zab coming off loss from Baldo

Floyd fought Zab coming off loss from Baldo

True. And how do you evaluate that win given zab lost to baldo? Shouldn't equal standards be employed?

And floyd fought the guy who beat zab.

[RichCCFC]

ofcourse he did, he sucked

you didn't address the 1st part of the post.

I think what it all came down to is that in the second half of the decade, Floyd became a part time fighter. Manny basically fought twice as much. That would make a huge impact on who actually did more.
