Comments Thread For: For Fighter of The Decade, The BWAA Got it Right

Any “writer” who uses rankings to quantify how dangerous his opponents were already loses credibility. Unable to objectively assess whether or not an opponent is elite level, or at their very best without some manufactured ranking system is what casuals do, not credible boxing writers. He needs to stick to the twitter crowd who gets their news and facts from sound bites and 240 characters.

Your criteria is race. So you definitely don't have any credibility.

I think they got it right . I would have had canelo but he loaded up on street meat tacos and ****ed that up . I've never seen such a weird time for FOTD. So many asterix besides each nominees names .

Great article, the BWAA did get it right. Mayweather beat Pacquiao when Pacman was ranked #2 p4p only behind Mayweather himself. He beat Shane Mosley when Shane was #3 p4p. Nobody else in the last decade has wins over two top 3 p4p fighters. The Canelo win is the icing on the cake that makes it definitive.

How is it race you third grade dropout? If it were race I would been insisting Loma or GGG deserved the award and not an Asian or Mexican. You really are the epitome of a low-IQ casual.

Again...

Manny was a strong candidate even with his 3 losses... If floyd had those 3 will he be in contention? Nope. Even esnews wont waste their time on him... That's how simple it is.

Funny, people keep saying its that 0 that separates him. So thats it? You sure?

The person closest to Mayweather was Canelo and he got schooled when they met. The only you way can disagree with this choice is if you absolutely “hate” Mayweather. There are a few people on this site that fit that description and they’re the most vocal about him getting the nod.

So now Ring is considered established and respected? I see you Floyd fans each day trashing Ring, especially Doug Fischer and Steve Kim, not to mention Oscar. Now all of the sudden they have credibility when it aligns wiht your bias.

Not just Ring, the TBRB too.

Cliff is using ratings from two industry sources.

What are you using? Your "I Hate Floyd" filter?
