Worlds Greatest Fighter Of The New Millennium

this would have been a very interesting thread over on the general!!

I voted Pacquiao.

Nobody has matched him in the last 3 years, he's been in some terrific fights and become a multi-weight world champion.

 

Floyd over the whole time-scale coz he's had no dips in that time whilst of course Manny has in the Morales loss and contentious JMM draw. Of course its a tight thing and Pacquaio's run of late is incredible but he's been untouchable for 3-4 years, Floyd from 2000 and before that to be honest.

 

got 2 drug (confirmed) cheats on there

 

Sugar Niko

 

It's not about numbers, it's about opposition :deal

There a couple of fighters on that list greater than Floyd, let alone Pac. I would even say there is at least one, excluding Pac again, that has better wins than Floyd this decade.

 

Calzaghe. Never had an off night, very consitent.

 

Pacquiao, easy.

 

He's lost to Morales in this time though, and arguably Marquez.:think

 

So it's about losses now? Look at who he HAS beaten in that time. Pisses on anyone else's wins on that list.

 

I kind of agree.:good

 

So belts mean more than opposition?atsch

 

The whole fascination with undefeated records is the biggest load of bollocks in the sport. If you compete at the top level consistently it's highly unlikely you'll win every time, all the greats have loses on their records.

It's not like people **** all over Spain's world cup win for losing to Switzerland.

 

Yeah, I mean, why don't we just call Joe Calzaghe fighter of the millenium.
