Some people are arguing Floyd is the FOTD now.I said that would be a good win for mayweather too. I never said it was a bad win for pacquiao either. But I guarantee you floyd would not get called fighter of the decade with just beating thurman. If we’re being honest floyd has a far better resume than pacquiao this decade alone. Floyd has wins over PACQUIAO,canelo,cotto,maidana,(he was the hottest thing smoking after beating broner) mosley, and other honorable mentions.
Pacquiao lost to Marquez,Bradley(yes I felt he was robbed) mayweather and Jeff horn lol. Pacquiao was fighting guys like,Jeff horn,Brandon Rios,Jessie Vargas,Chris algirie,mosley after getting whooped by mayweather and a bad fight with mora, and a broner who hasn’t won a fight convincingly in years.
Thurman was a very good win for pacquiao if not his best win this decade BUT that should not qualify him for fighter of the year or atg just because he had a good opponent in there with him this time.
Pac did not fight Rios, Mosley and Algieri after losing to Floyd. You got your timeline way mixed up.Comment

Actually, all of this WAS said, and it was said before the fight. Which is why Pac was actually favored to win.Thurman would be considered a bum overnight. Wins over porter,Garcia, Guerrero and the fact that he was a champion would mean nothing.
Why is nobody saying that pacquiao waited for Thurman to look bad in his last fight with Lopez ?(pacquiao has a strong history of doing this) Or that Thurman hasn’t knocked anyone out in years so pacquiao didn’t get a prime Thurman.
Floyd fights a younger fighter in canelo and they say he was too green and wasn’t ready when in reality they had damn near the same amount of professional fights when they fought lol. People forget Floyd was pressured into the fight with canelo because he was the new boogie man that was supposed to have floyd pissing the bed because manny was still fresh off the Marquez KO so they needed someone to be the guy floyd was ducking.
But manny beats Thurman which is arguably his biggest win of this decade and he is now considered fighter of the decade and the greatest fighter of all time smh.
Don’t get me wrong thurman is a good win for anybody including Floyd but when the future looks back on this time who would you rather have a W over Thurman or canelo?
Still, let's be honest about Floyd as a welterweight. His competition was far from awesome.
Pac's victory over Thurman (even the contemporary, lesser version of Thurman) is better than anything Floyd accomplished as a welter. Just saying.Comment

Yea wins over top 10 in Rhodes and top 5 vs Trout among others made him sooo green smdh.Nelo was as green as leaves on trees. He couldn't stop old man ssm so what did Floyd have to worry about? Fighting Mexican unknowns in mexico isn't getting you experience even if you pad out CV with 100 fights. Didn't stop with the CW though. Embarrassing he wanted one with kid in a weight class he was a champ in.Comment
