    If we're talking entertainment and excitement then yeah it's hard to debate.

    But if we're talking who was the fighter of the decade, as in, the best fighter of the decade, then it's debatable.

        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.


        And on which planet is this?

            He barely beat Marquez once, he lost once to Morales. You can't be listing fighters losses like that to impress people. That's now how you measure accomplishments or how good a resume is.

            And I would put Pacquiao as the 4th best fighter of 2000-2009.

            Mayweather, Hopkins, Marquez ranking before Pacquiao.
            Thank you. The whole fighter of the decade scam looked exactly what it was when Marquez lifted that. It was designed to screw Mayweather of his deserved credit forever but in the end KARMA took care of business and made them whole decade fighting award team look like a bunch of crooks. All respect to Marquez which is definitely one of the best ever but we all know that belt was there for Pacquiao to lift. It back fired. This is what i love about boxing, in the end the truth always comes out.

                Exactly... This is why all that money they spend in promoting Pacquiao (magazine awards, fighter of the decade awards, etc) all is wasted now. They look like the crooks they are. The real fighter of the decade is a bad guy, you probably don't like him but he's the fighter of the decade.

                      agreed..pac was an easy choice for FOTD (2000-2009)..you also forgot to mention he beat ledwaba. from 2000-2009 pac won 3 lineal titles in 3 different divisions and 6 different world titles in 6 different divisions. in 2009 he became the first to ever win 4 lineal titles in 4 different divisions, and the first to ever win 7 world titles in 7 different divisions. he was also ring fighter of the year 3 times from 2000 to 2009. plus he was more active than floyd from 2008 to 2009.

                      haters will hate, but pac was deserving of FOTD from 2000-2009...
