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

[joseph5620]

I disagree with the notion of a fighter being named the best in the decade despite being inactive for half that time. If he had fought throughout the remainder of the decade like Pac, he may very well have suffered losses which would have hurt his argument in my eyes. The only way to justify that argument is if you believe what Floyd accomplished during those first five years was so extraordinary, that he should be guaranteed FOTD recognition even if he lost every fight from then on, but personally I don't hold that view and I doubt many do either, so why give him the benefit of that doubt? The fact that he returned to the ring against Conor and that lil Japanese dude hurts his argument in my eyes because it shows that he still has the ability and willingness to step in the ring, just not against elite boxers.

He fought 6 out of the ten years. That's more than half. If you can't acknowledge that fact then nothing you say after that is credible.

But only if you don't QUOTE me. If you QUOTE me it means you want me to keep you company.



Of course Floyd fans don't think Floyd should fight them again. But that just means Floyd don't care about convincing the people who think Floyd has more to prove. Not everyone is convinced. An d it shows you don't care if Floyd proves and convinced his doubters

Floyd schooled Pac and Canelo and needs to convince nobody.

Just make floyd greatest in history give Floyd the award already, even.though.many would disagree that Floyd deserves it. But people will think what they want. If you can make a case for floyd being Fotd when so many were against it, and gave many valid and rational reasons why floyd shouldn't be fotd, yet Floyd still ends up as it, someone was looking out for floyd that's clear? Anything is possible floyds proven it..
People will think what they want to think.

Floyd is Champion.. Kinda like a video game boss.. You have to come to him! And u gotta deal little disadvantages like refs like bayless who wont let u get close enough to rough up the Champion.. it Makes it even harder to beat him.. But in all honesty.. Floyd had to go thru that same ish with dela hoya.. But He beat him and now he was King. Now he gets the advantages until someone beats him.

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.

Because you're a racist and you try to discredit any black boxer. Not just Floyd. You have no credibility when talking about a black fighter lol. It's that simple. When you can't leave your racist views out of boxing discussion's that shows you are the one with the low IQ. I'm certainly not the only one that knows or pointed out what a dumbass you are.

Golovkin and Lomachenko are not on the list. So of course you can't make a case for them. If they were you would have. So that example doesn't work. Nice try you Idiot.

Well said. That clown is one of the highest ranked racists on this site.

You're right but I don't include the McGregor fight. That's not a fight that I would use to make a case for Floyd. It doesn't matter though because Mayweather had the best and most important wins of the decade.

You do know when Pac beat cotto, Floyd fans did actually say Pac was ducking cott o rematch at 147?
Your not just burying your head in sand here are you? Just checking and making sure.

I never said that and the Floyd fans who said that are incredibly ******. Pac annihilated Cotto and any suggestion of a rematch is outright pathetic.

Castillo, Maidana were close fights, and floyd fought them twice. I did not see a compelling need for floyd to fight Manny or Canelo again.

I was screaming for floyd to give castillo and maidana a rematch, because they took it to him strong.

Pac and canelo did not bring the heat like the guys who got rematches.
