You can cheer for whichever fighters you wanna cheer for bubba. I don't care. I just voice my opinion that Pac deserves Fighter Of The Decade, not Floydie. Pac lost because he was in Australia, fixed fight. Same as 2nd Bradley fight, fixed. Ask Arum about both fights, but he'll deny it. And I don't know where you dug up 'most people thought Pac lost'. That's simply ridiculous. As for Floydie juicing, I'll eventually look up and file articles that leave little doubt. The incident was right before the Berto fight. They found equipment in his mansion consistent with what fighters use to juice with, then flush their system. It's reality. The anti-doping body found it there. And make up all the excuses you want, Floydie did indeed duck Mosley and Pac in their primes. Your excuses are so daft it's embarrassing. You just need to move on and stop wasting people's time with your whining. Floydie may be your god, but the ducker and loud mouth sure as he!! isn't EVERYONE's god. Take a hike, pal.Comment

Floydie NEVER fought Margarito, who was an elite for several years. As for beating Pac, Mosley, Cotto, Canelo... all 4 were either past their prime or were too green and made a bad choice (Canelo) fighting Floydie too soon. Today's Canelo would easily UD or KO Floydie. Not even close. But hey, keep spewing your nonsense there, pal. I really don't care. You Floydie worshipers are all alike. I actually NEVER see more whining replies to posts than Floydieists whining if anyone says anything critical of their lord-and-master flydie. Pac deserves it, floydie doesn't. We're done here.Comment

The award is for fighter of the decade. Not greatest of all time.
Why people keep bringing up Antonio Margarito like he was in any way relevant this decade is beyond me. Just a tactic to discredit.
Who did Pacquiao beat in their prime this decade ? Who were the best fighters Pac beat this decade ?
Were they better than the fighters Floyd beat ? If Pac was so far past his prime then why in the hell are we considering him for fighter of the decade of he’s so washed up ?? People act like Mayweather was in his prime this decade. People act like Mayweather was the one ducking Shane Mosley when it was the other way around.
Floyd beat better fighters than both Pac and Canelo this decade. That part is undeniable. He fought and beat two candidates for fighter of the decade this decade. Pacquiao beat zero candidates. Canelo beat zero candidates.
Pacquaio beat Tim after he had been concussed by Vargas and provodnikov. Beat Broner after he was washed up. Beat Thurman after several surgeries and after he was almost stopped by both Collazo and Lopez. See how easy it is to discredit a fighters wins ? Holes can always be poked in victories.
I believe in giving Pac, Canelo, and Mayweather credit for their wins without searching for reasons for them not to count. If you apply the same criticism across all three fighters resumes then you are being unbiased. But I haven’t ONCE heard anyone approach judging resumes fairly. It is always Pacquiao deserves full credit for every fight he’s been in this decade, and all his losses should be ignored or excuses away, while Floyd’s wins are searched with a fine toothed comb. Like Pacquaio didn’t win FOTD last year where two of his biggest fights were blatant catch weights. One of them draining a guy down a whole damn division. The other fighting a guy without a trainer. What’s good enough for one is good enough for all IMOComment

My friend, you’re wrong.
The last time they did a fighter of the decade award it was in Jan 2010. And they considered all fights from Jan 2000 through December 2009.
So for example, if they are giving out the award now, in Jan 2020 and clearly no fights in 2020 are going to be considered for this award because they have not happened yet, the easiest thing for you to do is to count backwards from the first completed eligible year, which is 2019. So let’s count backwards together.
2019
2018
2017
2016
2015
2014
2013
2012
2011
2010
There you have it. Ten years.
Also, they don’t generally hand decade awards out in, say, 2017. They wait for an actual DECADE to finish first. IE the 201X decade, vs just picking a random year and counting back 10 years. So it’s a grouped decade, like the 2010s that they are giving the awards to.
Here’s one more way to look at it. Is someone who is 19 years old in their twenties ? No. They are not. A person is in their twenties for 10 years. Let’s count them together.
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
29
That’s ten years.
Lastly, they have this cool website called Wikipedia. If you search the term 2010s it will show you exactly when that decade started and ended, and they’ve already got the ability to search for 2020s For further reading ! I’ll add a link but not sure if the forums will remove it or not.

I haven't posted here in about a year. But for the people talking about Margarito was a good win for Pacquiao you gotta be kidding me.
Without Plaster Margarito was....Brandon Rios basically. And before you say he beat Martinez he was probably using Plaster in that fight too.Comment

Most of you don’t pay attention. His power wasn’t much different at all. Can you only discern power from whether or not fighters are being stopped? Marg was always a heavy handed accumulation puncher without the snap and speed to get many sudden KO’s. In his fights back he was still heavy handed and very strong.
If you were to say Margarito was passed it I’d have more respect for that, because he really was even slower, stiffer and his defense became near non-existent (yes, he actually had some defense before). He was worse, plain and simple. It was still a good win for Pacquiao just due to the sheer size, strength/heavy hands of Margarito. That Margarito still beats the sht out of a lot of guys on Mayweather’s resume in that decade like Ortiz, Berto for example, and I’d pick him to whether Maidana before making it a very close contest late, with odds of stopping him.Last edited by SplitSecond; 01-11-2020, 10:47 AM.Comment
