Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao is FOTD - NOT Mayweather - It's Not Even Close!

[SweetPbfAli]

A fighter who struggled against a class C maidana shouldn't even be mentioned as the FOTD..

Manny lost to Jeff Horn.

[PAC-BOY]

Pacquaio's one of the greatest fighters I've seen in my lifetime. And coming back from that KO is one of many reasons for that. But he still got KO'd, in this decade.

I actually thought the Horn fight was close I've only seen it once, but, don't agree with all the robbery talk myself.

Either way Pacman is one of the greats but this decade wasn't his decade. It's just as simple as that.

I know im a Pac fan but if he loss. He loss. Just like im not on the wagon of people saying he won the Floyd fight. I thought he loss. I never even said that fight was close. But the Horne fight. No way he lost that fight. and i didnt see it being close enough to go either way. 113 /115 113/115 111/117 was waaaay out of wack especially 111/117. Just wasnt that close in either direction
And adversity is something to be looked upon in any fighter who comes back. Not just Manny but anyone. To me more a fighter who hasnt lost.
Chayaphon Moonsri for example....

Suddenly Arum has gained a whole lot of new 'friends'. He now be promoter of the decade.

it's bob arum's opinion kids,

all you f@gs can have one too

Floydie retired barely halfway thru the decade. Meanwhile, Manny still fighting elites regularly, and winning.

Floyd achieved more in his few fights this decade than the others. Was A side of both of the biggest fights this decade. Won all his fights including BOTH fights against the other two candidates of fighter of the decade, Canelo and Pacquiao. It’s Floyd and it’s not close at all

Let's look at Manny's list of fights from 2009-2019: Wins over Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Mosely, Marguez (with one ko loss), Bradley 2X (with one controversial loss), Rios, Algieri (lol), a boring loss to Floyd (Manny had a reported injured shoulder), a controversial loss to Jeff Freaking Horn, wins over Vargas, Matthysse, Broner and finishing the decade with a championship win over Thurman- A young champ in his prime, and Manny was 40! Seems like a pretty good decade to me, despite the bumps.

You can lose a fight and still win it, but the loss(es) still need to mean something.

I guess I just saw it differently I know I'm in the minority but I saw an either way fight. I'll admit again I have only seen it once though (live)

Yeah the decade is actually 2010-2019. So, those Hatton and Cotto wins are irrelevant.

I won't dispute he had a good decade. Just not even close to FOTD calibur. And there is no way in hell he wins it, for that reason.

Pac had 3 legit opponents this decade and lost 2x.....badly.

[Bandman]

pac was the victim in the greatest KO of the past 30 years. hard to win FOTD like that
