Who deserved fighter of the decade

[miron_lang]

Floyd or manny................vote and discuss

Pac deserved it until he got knocked out cold.

I just like to remind both of you that the award in question is based on a specific timeline.

Jan 1, 2000 up to December 31, 2009

in that period Floyd does not even come close to Pac in terms of level of opponents.


I agree Floyd is more skillful and maybe even more talented. But Accomplishment is mainly the basis.

If we're honest about who represented boxing in the last 10 years, the foremost name is Pacquiao. His accomplishments can be easily argued, but I don't think that's what FOTD awards are about.

it does come close in terms of level of wins if not better not to mention Manny had 2 draws and a Loss to Floyd 0 as well as Floyd being ranked higher for the majority of that time period Pacuiao was ranked higher then Floyd only from 08-09

really the order should've been
Hopkins
Mayweather
Pacquiao

Manny wasn't even relevant the 1st half of the decade outside of the 1 win against MAB he lost to Morales and had 2 draws and what was hopkins doing at that time?

lets see now 20 consecutive title defenses held all the belts becoming the undisputed MW its not even close

im not hating on Bhop at all. He frequents our gym in Miami on the regular and he knows a bunch of us by names....Straight up dude...much respect for Bhop!

But he didnt quite make FOTD. And most experts would agree! And obviously did. Hence the reason Manny was awarded FOTY!

Manny won it because he had hype going at the time of the voting beating DLH Hatton and Cotto but truth be told looking at the whole decade he shouldn't come close to Hopkins collecting all the belts and basically owning the division as undisputed champion something Manny could never do

as far as accomplishments goes what Hopkins did is 10x bigger accomplishment then what manny did which is picking and choosing the weakest champion or vacant belt

Forums had it wide for Pacquiao
BWWAA had it wide for Pacquiao


its 2013 and 4 yrs into the current decade. Cmon

Floyd messed up by going on his first "retirement". He should've taken just six months off and fought again. IMO Manny only got fighter of the decade because he looked absolutely superb running up to the end of the decade.
