    Floyd didn't win FOTD because Americans plain hate him. If he was from another country he would have won the award.

    It was clearly a popularity contest when Manny was voted FOTD. Clear joke but yeah, it's simply because Floyd was hated.

    You guys still living in the past. It's almost 2014. Half this decade almost done and you're still talking about some worthless award of last decade?

    Nobody takes that fighter of the decade shi.t seriously.

    People will remember Manny for that sound his face made when it crashed into the canvas.:lol:

    Because?:roll:

    Because Floyd has been dominating the sport of Boxing a hell of lot longer than a mere decade. It would be insulting to giving him that little trinket.

    People will remember him for his exciting fights, being the only 8 division champion and beating the best available for him

    Boxing elites don't get KOd by Torrecampo, Singsurat and Floyd's sparring partner JMM. But Pac is fighter of the decade just like Donaire was FOTY. I guess it counts for something.

    Besides Floyd was on vacation. Manny got it by default.
