    Judah- Couldn't beat baldomir:rofl

    Delahoya- Good win

    Hatton- A jr welterweight :lol:

    Marquez- A lightweight :rofl

    Mosley- 38 yrs old way past prime

    Mayweather is the more skilled/talented boxer. Mayweather has fought better oppoents. Mayweather has beat better oppoents.

    It's ironic that PAC prevailed over 2 popular UNBEATEN boxers in achieving the "Fighter of the Decade" award.

    Calzaghe 46-0
    Floyd Jr. 40-0

    Guess being unbeaten is NOT all that counts. :D

    He should prove them wrong and fight Pac then. I don't get why Floyd is as scared as he is, unless its purely $$ negotiations holding him back. Was really impressed with his last performance. I think stylistically Floyd would have the upper hand in this fight. But I'd love to see Pac KTFO Floyd like everybody else.

    Give Pac fighter of the decade ,but whats going to happen when Floyd stops his ass ,this would only motivate Mayweather to beat his ass very bad in the ring...One thing I notice about Pac is when he gets hurt ,he does not know how to clinch or hold on ,wait until Floyd gets to him....its like saying Lebron is better than Kobe ,but everytime you see Kobe he's playing in the real Championship.

    Was close. If Floyd hadn't taken an extended leave from the sport, there'd be no debate.

    That inactivity was the deciding factor.

    Lebron is pathetic. To hear that guy cry about his "individual achievements" is a joke. What individual achievements? It's a team sport, and he, for all his apparent ability, has only been able to produce in the regular season. He's a regular season warrior who hasn't for the life of him been able to win a championship. The guy's a ****ing crybaby. I never would have said that before the public remarks he made during this playoff season.

    Kobe has answered the critics emphatically, whether he wins this season or not. If he does, all the better for him.

    I personally think as floyd was dominat throughout the whole decade and pac was not floyd shud hav got it. He was in the top 10 p4p the whole decade, except retirement of course, and was no.1 for 3 yrs and only lost it due to retirement. I didnt take the poll though because 2 say pac didnt deserve it is kind of disrespectful as he has earned his place among the greats but 4 me floyd shud hav been fighter of the decade.

    What Floyd fails to mention is Pac has done things no boxer since Henry Armstrong has been able to achieve going up divisions and is the first 7 weight world champ and 4 time lineal champ in history. He fails to mention his record over Barrera, Morales and Marquez 5-1-1(3KOs). Or that Pac won three Fighter of the Year awards in the decade to Mayweather's one.

    If Mayweather really wanted the award he should never have quit with hi-profile matchups available to him in Mosley, Margarito, Cotto, P.Williams. It still might not have been enough. ****ing joke this guy chooses to sit on his ass when the challenges were there for him and then just expect to be handed this prestigious award.

    Pac was clearly the fighter of the decade on resume and accomplishments. That was fairly reflected in the voting.
