    WBC, WBAA, ESPN, RING MAGAZINE etc. are all in agree that pac is the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE.
    Pac lost in that decade and used PEDs to beat fringe contenders.

    Even still he is in the conversation with Calzaghe and Klits...all behind Floymod

      Proof?

      And tell that to all the experts who voted for him. I’m sure they’re all better than you

          Hardly a shock argument lol

          Robinson is widely regarded as the best ever. Only Ali, possibly Pep, Armstrong and Leonard breathe that rarified air.

          Just going to The Ring list, I've always found it weird that Duran gets the fotd for the 1970s, when he never faced anyone of the calibre of Norton, let alone frazier and foreman. Ali should also be a two time winner imo.

            1920s: Benny Leonard — Some still say he’s the greatest lightweight ever. Runner up: Harry Greb.

            1930s: Henry Armstrong — Held titles in three weight classes simultaneously. Runner up: Tony Canzoneri.

            1940s: Ray Robinson – Untouchable as a welterweight. Runner up: Willie Pep

            1980s: Ray Leonard: His victories over Duran, Hearns and Hagler were epic. Runner up: Julio Cesar Chavez
            .
            1990s: Roy Jones Jr. – At his best, he inspired awe. Runner up: Pernell Whitaker.
