    Fighter -Pacquiao
    Fight - Corales vs Castillo
    KO - that is tough. N/A forme (too many KOs)
    Best Perf - Pacquiao vs Barrera I
    Promoter - Arum

    Fighter - PBF has a better early resume with Castillo and Corrales win but barely because Pac has MAB win (he was the heavy underdog unlike the PBF fight). MAB beat Naz and EM before and after Pac fight. In late career resume, Pac wins.

    Fight - Morales vs MAB was my second, but that C vs C fight was just awesome.

    Performance - heavy underdog vs a peak/near peak first ballot HoF. And TKOing it at the 11th.

    Arum - like them or hate them, performance wise, Arum is the top dog of boxing promotion. ODLH might change that in the next decade.

    Fighter- Manny Pacquiao : Jumped from superbantameight to welterweight winning lineal championships at 126, 130, and 140, and titles at JWW and WW. Has an outstanding list of opponents, Barrera, Morales, Marquez (you can't get any better than the three muskeeters of Mexican boxing) DLH, Hatton, Cotto and before decade ends, Mayweather.

    Fight- Gatti-Ward 1 - back and forth drama/slugfest

    Knock-out- Pacquiao-Hatton- I thought hatton would die

    Performance- Mosley-Margarito- Margarito was thought to be unknockoutable but shane did not only get him out, he made it look easy

    Promoter- Bob Arum- though GBP had a hold at HBO dates, Arum's old school approach still prevailed

    Trainer- Freddy Roach- three-time and possibly four-time BWAA trainer of the year, this is a no-brainer

    Agree on all accounts. I think people need to rewatch Barrera vs. Morales I. And Pac's performance in Barrera vs. Pacquiao I was one for the ages. He could have fought 20 rounds that night.

    Dude mayweather has retired twice this decade? And has ducked almost everybody... by the way 2010 is next year so any fights taking place then will they count for the following decade? or as the last of this decade? and if so didnt 2000 count for the last decade?
