If in the rule book it says you can't be fotd if you've lost by ko to a great fighter and robbed once or twice in other people's backyards past prime, then Pac definitely can't be fotd.
But I'm not sure that rule book actually exists apart from in some people's minds.. Id actually bet my life on it not existing.
Well Pac has beaten many, great fighters in 2010 til now. Should Nelo get it for losing to GGG and beating him once, GGG is overated most say. Should beating khan get Nelo it?
SRR wouldn't beat Thurman at 40 so why are you sarcastically saying Thurman....nah? And if SRR could or woulda he hasn't got the evidence to prove it!
Pac's resume does have good name recognition, but who was great at the time they fought? his only solid wins were against Bradley. a controversial win against Marquez (KO lost the next fight) and Thurman. The rest of the wins were against past it fighters or lower class opposition. Manny is a legend!!! I love the guy who doesn't? and he looked remarkable for the first half of the Thurman fight. I wish him continued success, but fighter of the decade is off the table. He had more uneventful years than great ones this past decade

Clottey arguably beat Cotto
Historical 8th title vs Margarito
Pfp’er Timothy Bradley
Pfp’er Juicequez (I saw pac win, you saw him lose, he’s got the W)
Second half
Pfp’er Timothy Bradley
Former Welterweight king Keith Thurman, oldest welterweight champion of all time
If he beats boogeyman Spence before the end of the year he is guaranteed FOTD 2010’s, no arguing it. Doubt he can squeeze it in though.
Marquez KO, beaten easily by Mayweather and a bad loss to Jeff Horn.
No chance.
from 2010 --
he's got names like margarito, molsey, marquez, bradley, lucas, broner and now thurman. yeah i think it's safe to say he'll be one of the front runners for FOTD award.

He could go and get a time machine and beat a prime Ray Robinson and he still wouldn’t win Fighter of the decade.
who's had a better run? only one that comes close is canelo. but canelo fought bums and then got a draw against ggg (which most thought he loss), then got a win over ggg (which most thought he loss). besides floyd and ggg canelo fought a bunch of bums.
