I think Pacquiao is the fighter of the decade by a safe lead. I don't think anyone made as big of an impact. Floyd did well, but tapered off at the end.
Really sucks for Floyd.... He was too late to take the 90's from Roy Jones Jr. and too early to take the 00's from Pacquiao. Playing 2nd fiddle must blow for a guy that talented.
Manny. Floyd is a clear second with retirement and a less than stellar post 135 list. Had he maintained his calibre of opponents like he did leading up too and at 135 then I would choose Floyd. Hopkins third.
and he retired when the welter division had become the most stacked all decade and returned when the smoke had cleared
He is probably happy that Manny is the fighter of the decade. It's like shouting from the mountain top.
The weird thing is he doesn't seem to really want take what is not his - the p4p #1. he is satisfied with imagining he is, which is really odd.
Pac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
