    Same goes for Pacquiao, only his skills will win this fight.

    Dude do you know what's 2000s mean or what a decade means? It's a ten year time period. If Floyd beats PAC this decade, that accomplishment belongs to this new decade not the previous.

    You may say that Floyd is better than PAC in the 2000s, we respect that but your opinion is in the minority opinion. Boxing writers of America voted PAC by a margin of 2 to 1. It's not even close. 74% (225 votes) of members in this forum said PAC deserves the FOTD award.

    Yes they did, but the numbers will change if Floyd beats Pac convincingly. Try make a poll 1 week after the Pac vs Mayweather fight, and if Floyd wins you will se how the percentage will go Floyd way :lol: Thats how boxing fans are, even experts and newspapers are like that.

    for one, pac's skill is just carrying him unto these weights. did you noticed how his opponents are taking all his shots just because he is the smaller guy? pacis just winning because of his skill and greatness. and please someone is an idiot for you if someone gives a point you don't like. maxim's size palyed an important role on this one. sugar's punches could not affect him that's why he was also affected by the heat.

    nope. i am just telling the truth. pac and floyd are both great fighters. one is a natural 140 at this point and the other one is a natural 147. why is it hard for you to see this?

    The numbers might change but definitely it won't change this list, agree?

    Fighters of the Decade:

    2000s Manny Pacquiao
    1990s Roy Jones Jr.
    1980s Sugar Ray Leonard
    1970s Roberto Duran
    1960s Muhamad Ali
    1950s Sugar Ray Robinson

    :D

    he can hurt him but it means you have to make more effort if you are a smaller guy. it means a one punch that will normally affect someone from your own weight means you have to make it two punches or more. you guys talk like you never heard of the adage: "a good big man almost always beat a good small man". of course the size difference is not that small coz i think, they are only one division apart right now but if they are of the same skills level, this would play some factor if not a huge factor.
