Floyd is not the fighter of the decade because...

Floyd has over $300M worth of reasons not to give a **** about a FOTD award -- HE IS THE BIGGEST MONEYMAKER IN BOXING HISTORY!!!

 

This.:deal

 

Haaa. Awards given by the BWAA are amongst the most prestigious in all of boxing. Pacquiao has won 3 fighter of the year awards (Floyd has won 1) and also the fighter of the decade. It's only 'worthless' to you because your favourite fighter lost, but in the boxing world it is as big as they come.

 

Er, no. Roy Jones ruled 1990-1999, and won the award. Pacquiao ruled 2000-2009 and won his award. There's no space for Floyd in this super-elite circle.

 

Exactly. Floyd gets the money. Pacquiao gets the respect. That's the difference.

 

you two will remember that cause that's ur best boxing moment as *****'s LMAO this two "and the funny pics" omg don't watch boxing if you have that mentality even floyd wished pac to get better and comeback after that knockout. . :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

lmao who really cares about an award given over an arbitrary time period? Who would be the run-away fighter of the decade 98-07?

 

he gets respect because he has a very easy style to watch. his 8th title is the biggest hunk of **** i have yet to hear a die hard pac fan even defend it..

fighting marg coming off a brutal KO loss and a 1 year + ban from boxing which put an asterisk over his entire career at a weight he was not ranked at and at a catchweight of 150.

floyds fought the best options he could (remember arum would not let cotto fight him amongst a few others) the only reason you would give the title to pac and not floyd is because of floyds inactivity

 

Most fellow Boxers and Coaches see Mayweather as the surpurior Boxer. What respect from ESB Forums Users?

 

Yep, Floyd was pretty pissed when he didn't get it. You can't argue with Pacquaio getting it either though, I don't buy into the popularity thing

 

Floyd the best in the last 100 years in the *****s world . In the real world he can't even win the award in a single decade atsch.

 

Decade runs from 1-10, not from 0-9

 

Other way round.

 

Pac won it because he fought better comp. And was in more exciting fights hes great. But technically mayweather is the better fight does than mean he ranks higher all time for me i dont think so.

 

It's a clear win for Pacquiao and this award does carry significance. All the haters and *****s can deflect it but they are wishing that mayweather got that award.

Pac won simply because he faced better comp. Secondly, the simple hard data numbers show why: Pacquiao fought 28 times in the decade..... Mayweather fought 19 time and Mayweather faked a retirement to duck prime fighters like a p.ussy. It was not a popularity contest. People who know boxing saw right through the bull**** of Mayweather and gave Manny the award.
