Your opinion, not mine. Floyd was a ducker the last several fights, and he juiced. Never fought Pac or Mosley in their primes, never fought Margarito at all. The list is long. Deny all you like, doesn't change reality.
What the hell did Antonio Margarito do this decade to deserve a fight ???? He got caught cheating and got knocked out by Mosley, and both of these things took place LAST decade. 2009 or something. So how is he relevant ?
How does a decade include a person fighting and beating Mosely, Cotto, Canelo AND Pacquiao but you say he’s been a ducker ? That pretty unbelievable.
Floyd’s best wins were Pac and Canelo. Who were pac best wins ???? Keith Thurman ??? Tim Bradley ???? Do either of those names compare even to Cotto at the time Floyd fought him ? Let alone Pacquiao or Alvarez.
Pac is in last place in this race. Canelo has had a better decade than him. Ward has had a better last 10 years than Manny
Fighter of the decade is just what it sounds like. Who was the best the past decade. 10 years. 2010-2019. Not who you think Floyd should have fought in 1998 or 2003 or at the Olympic trials.Last edited by JLC; 01-10-2020, 02:45 AM.Comment

The Thurman Pacquiao beat would’ve tore up the Canelo Floyd beat, so there’s that.
But no, Floyd didn’t have any great wins this decade.
His best win this decade was Mcgregor.Comment

Pac s had double the amount of fights Floyd had, and Floyd hasn't fought double the dangerous quality opponents so how does what Floyd did equate to what Pac achieved? With Floyd fighting so much less, you d expect Floyd would have to fight killers row to make up for it. Maybe in 2016 Floyd should have fought ggg, in year 2017 fought thurman, in year 2018 fought spence, and kovakev in 2019 rather than ortiz, maidana, guerrero, Connor and tenshin.Last edited by hugh grant; 01-10-2020, 04:30 AM.Comment

Only fighting 5 serious years in a decade also isn't a barrier also?
But only fighting 5 years is certainly a bigger hurdle to overlookComment

Nothing in rule book says losing in a decade is a barrier to being fotd, Floyd fans are only playing that card as Floyd is unbeaten. And perceived losses don't count when it suits Floyd fans.

All other nominees have lost
Anyone else been ktfo and given last rites
Allowed a civil servant to pick his pocket clean
Then yes, your hero can apply for the FOTD awardComment

Losses don't matter it's part and parcel of boxing. Fighting ,5 years whilst trying to be Fotd isn't in the deal.Comment
