The last FOTD is Manny Pacquiao.
And he beat during that time.
Lehnolo Ledwaba: IBF Champ for 3 years, six defense in the a row, 29 years old, in his prime.
Marco Antonio Barrera: P4P No. 3 behind Hopkins and Roy Jones, The Ring and Lineal 126 Champion. and Defeated him agian at 2007 when Barrera was still in the P4P rankings.
Juan Manuel Marquez: Unified WBA and IBF Champion at 126, and WBC and Lineal Champ at 130, P4P 2 behind Pacquiao himself, aged 33, still in his prime. It was the last time the no.1 P4P fought no.2 P4P in their primes.
Erik Morales in a trology: Aged 30, faded due to wars, went on to whoop asses at 140 and become a champion at 140.
Agapito Sanchez: Good fighter, was a champion at 122.
Oscar Larios: Undefeated Contender
David Diaz: Champion at 135, beat Erik Morales
Ricky Hatton: The Ring and Lineal 140 Champion, P4P no. 9Fought him at his best weight class, and he just dominated and stopped Paulie Malinaggi who at the time was a top fighter.
Oscar Dela Hoya: Passing of the torch, though Pac was a 4-1 underdog.
Miguel Cotto: P4P no.6 he beat Clottey and was the WBO champion, and gave Canelo and Floyd a tough fight years later.

This is a wrap from 2000-2009 fighter of the Decade. The fact that Old man Pacquiao is in even the conversation of being a FOTD again is just astonishing how this decade reflects.
