Floyd wins BWAA Fighter of Decade

That’s fanboy logic. 12-4. It’s not a best effort award.

Roy wasn’t beating anyone good until 93. That’s my point.

 

That's completely different to not fighting at all.

 

Deserving of Boxing writers association fighter of the decade award? come on bro. Who gives a crap!

WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO even hand out awards like this? Maybe. If they did it would mean more. Boxing writers association it's a silly award.

 

It's not important to me, I've just merely joined the debate.

 

I’ll assume that you have Canelo since he was the only one active for the entire decade. Pac wasn’t.

 

Manny was active in every year.

 

He had over a year of inactivity, two years winless, and rarely fought t the end of the decade. I assume you picked Canelo. I can respect that.

 

I haven't picked anyone. But Manny and Canelo would be very deserving.

You're now splitting hairs.

Manny fought in every calendar year.

He had 17 fights and he pushed himself to the max.

Yes, he lost. But he fought guys who Floyd wouldn't have fought. He fought Marg and prime versions of Bradley and Thurman.

If you take into account his opponents, his age, his number of fights and his circumstances, I think he deserved it more than Floyd, even though Floyd beat him. And then there's the IV scandal.

Canelo is doing great, and he's had a lot of fights, but he's obviously much younger and currently in his prime.

 

False. Thurman’s prime ended years ago when he quit boxing and went to Nepal. The guy’s timing is done.

Floyd would have fought and easily beaten Margo and Bradley had they left Arum. Clear as day.

 

It's easy for you to say that. But he wouldn't have fought them.

He wouldn't have taken those risks as he was approaching 50-0.

 

He mostly beat pfp fighters so Bradley would get cooked since he was pfp. Not sure about Margo though since he wasn’t pfp and Floyd beat all three of his fathers.

 

Like I said, it's easy to say that.

He ended his career against Berto and then the circus with McGregor.

Manny will fight anyone.

 

Nonsense. Manny spent the first two thirds of the 2010s fighting whoever was available in Arum's stable except the real threats like Crawford and to a lesser extent Lomachenko. And he got schooled by Floyd in an exemption due to money.

He spent the last 1/3 of the decade sitting out or cherry picking weak titlists.
1. Horn--weak titlist, backfired.
2. Matthysse--fake titlist who looked totally shot against that Thai guy bc he was totally shot.
3. Thurman--Pac waited until after Thurman's layoff and after Thurman looked totally vulnerable against a past it Josesito.
(And Broner which requires no explanation.)

Mayweather beat 4 pfp fighters, was a two division lineal champion, and beat two other FOD candidates easily in the 2010s.

 

Rubbish.

He started the decade against Marg and went to war with him. Look at the size disparity. Floyd would never have fought Marg.

He didn't get schooled by Floyd, and he was clearly injured. Then there's the IV scandal.

He fought peak versions of Bradley.

He's just fought Thurman. Thurman was dangerous despite what you say.

Floyd retired by fighting Andre Berto to protect his precious zero, and his record breaking win came against a guy who'd never even had a pro fight.

Floyd was the better overall fighter, but he wouldn't take the risks or the fights that Manny would take.

 

Um...Berto was better than those spent versions of Matthysse and Broner.

Floyd used an IV and had a TUE. Manny used steroids in training and had a TUE. Manny did not have a major rotator tear because he lifted his hands above his head after the fight which is totally impossible with a full or serious tear. These are not opinions; they are facts.

Now if you want to believe what is best for feelings, go ahead, but you have no character if you continue doing so.
