Manny Joins a very elite club..fighters to win "fighter of the decade"

[Kev]

I'm just glad they don't do a top 5 for each decade as you know they'd find a way to justify including Nonito Donaire on that list.

Probably Bute too

Hehe, you really don't like Bute to such a high degree, I really wonder why though.

Floyd is a better boxer than Manny but when it comes to who defied the odds, took the bigger challenges and fought for the fans, not just himself, Manny is easily ousting Floyd there.

I'm not totally sold on that really. I mean can u name a single oponent of Manny's that Floyd wouldn't be an overwhelming favourite to win not just the fight, but cirtually every round?

Manny hasn no names on his resume that anyone would expect Floyd to trip up against.

If Floyd had fought all of Manny's opponents its hard to argue against him being 56-0 now.

I don't doubt that Floyd could beat all the opponents that Manny has beaten. The point of my statement is that Manny was doubted to win some of those fights, more so than Floyd has been in his fights. Manny fought guys who no one ever imagined him sharing a ring with. Floyd has done the same, just not of the same magnitude as Manny, IMO.

Good point but I also think that at this point Manny could very well have beaten every single opponent PBF has fought his whole career. Overall if Mosely is Floyds best guy in his resume I might say Manny has both Cotto and Clottey who are also bullstrong warriors themselves. I also consider the fact that Manny is the first person to have 7 championships in 7 differents weightclasses and also the only boxer to have 4 lineal world titles.

The Boxing Writers Association of America doesn't just give their prestigeous awards to unproven pus$ies like Floyd... period.

Floyd has beaten every man he has ever faced and hasnt been knocked out along the way.

Floyd would have also beaten a washed up Erik Morales.

They're only "washed up" after Manny disposed them. FACT.

FIGHTHYPE \\ FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR.: "WHAT AWARD THEY GONNA GIVE MY SON WHEN HE WHOOPS PACQUAIO"

He a makes solid points, but floyd's best fights were in 2001 and 2002..and to be honest the corrales fight was a master performance against a weigh drawn Diego...

Pac won the award because he should have gotten it.

What floyd could have done is all moot now, because he had a chance to demolish all the top guys before they became exposed, ruined, old, or too small in publics eye, but he chose to become a mega money maker first, legacy second and that's the sacrifice he has to live with....

but I do wonder what award they give him after he taxes PACMAN's ass

[Tysonbruno]

So Pacquiao draws with Marquez then loses first fight with a shot Morales wins a disputable SD12 against Marquez in rematch Wins an easy Lightweight title vs Diaz then Beats a weight drained De La Hoya KO's a Shot Hatton who was fighting like an amatuer leading with his face. Then beats a weight drained Cotto and a Clottey who won't fight and gets fighter of the decade LOL

I totally agree Floyd would probably win all those fights but the problem is he didnt fight them.....

Floyd didnt fight hatton at 140 when Floyd moved up.
Floyd didnt fight Margarito and Cotto when they were thought to be unstoppable at 147.....

If he had fought them and won more people would be talking about Floyd's greatness. The other problem with Floyd is he cries and whines so much before fights, especially with Pac, just take the dam fight...

Mr Baggins

If you're talking about pound for pound then i say Erik Morales, Marco Antonio barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez are capable of beating Floyd specially Erik. Now in reality Floyd is just too big for these guys. Only Pac has a chance despite the size disadvantage.


Floyd might go 56-0 as well but that wont happen. Floyd probably wont fight the 3 if they are the same size. I'll bet he'll go for Scott Harrison, In Jin Chi and Rocky Juarez.
