Manny for fighter of the decade
I am so shocked from what transpired tonight. being a diehard oscar fan I am saddened by his shameful effort but but also in awe of manny pacquio. the man has to be considered fighter of the decade. has beaten legends in barrera, morales, marquez and delahoya and beaten them decisively. roy jones was the fighter of last decade, this decade it has to be manny I don't think floyd, hopkins or calzaghe come close for that moniker.

With all the accomplishments and upsets that he made possible, you may be right.

i say Bhop and Floyd have a better chance of fighter of the decade than Pac.

floyd never took risks, never defied the odds. in all the fights he won he was favorite to win. floyd's best wins are against corrales, gatti, hatton, delahoya
pacquio's best wins are against barrera, morales, marquez and delahoya

That's possible but definitely we'll have Manny as Fighter of the Year first... ;)

castillo did not have the kind of reputation he went on to earn when floyd fought him, castillo was brought in as a showcase opponent for floyd who gave him more than he could handle. zab is a good fighter yes but is not even close to being a great fighter and was coming from a loss to a feather duster salesman when floyd fought him
