    If this fight happens... lets pray it does... then its only logical to give the award of FOTD to the winner of Floyd/Pac-man as they have been the 2 outstanding fighters this decade IMO... all due respect to Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Calzaghe, Hopkins etc.

    You might think it unfair to give the award to the winner of this fight as Floyd has the size advantage but judging by Pac`s recent fights at 135 & 147, he certainly looks as good as ever regardless of who the opponents were, you cant argue with handing Diaz his 1st KO loss & DLH his 2nd KO loss.

    I think both guys have a style that will really trouble the other, thats were the greatness comes into play, whoever can adapt best & prevail when facing their most difficult opponent will deserve to be named not only the FOTD but 1 of the greatest p4p fighters that ever lived.

    IMO.

    I think Floyd wins it anyway.

    Regardless of whether he fights again.

    Id give it to FMJ too at the moment but Pac is closing in & who knows who else he might beat while Floyd watches TV.

    Best to settle this **** in the ring IMO.

    If it was purely on FIGHTING, then it would have to be Gatti/Rafa/Izzy - but I feel your hate for Floyd severely blunts your objectiveness on this issue.

    Well, I believe the actual title is `boxer of the decade`... its just that I prefer to use the word fighter myself.

    Manny should be a lock for it but i think his demographic hurts his chances.

    Floyd still takes it barely over Hop and Manny. Floyd beat larger opponents. Hopkins was fighting at middleweight where many think he was the larger man.

    I'll give you Oscar but not Tito as Tito proved against Joppy he was more than capable of fighting at MW. I'm not too sure you should put Winky in there either.

    If Pacquiao beats Hatton too, then Mayweather has nothing to be considered above Pacman in regards to accomplishments, which should decide in the end...the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE !!!
