    Um, isn't that what "Fighter of the Decade" is? Having 'skills' but refusing to consistently fight the best, does not warrant an award.

    So then won't it make the BWAA look stupid if Floyd wins? The best fighters are Manny and Floyd. If Floyd beats which e more than likely will then whats the point of having Manny as fighter of the decade.

    That award was for 2000-2009. THE OUTCOME OF A FIGHT IN 2011 IS IRRELEVANT WHEN MEASURING PERFORMANCES IN 2000-2009.

    If they were the same size, sure. But they aren't, so no. If Floyd dominates Manny at 140, then yes, he was the true fighter of the decade.

    Are you intentionally trying to be slow or it is nature?

    Its a no brainer. Its kinda like filing for a tax extension but instead just filing for a 'Fighter of the decade extension'.

    If Mr. Mayweather beats Mr. Pacquiao then yes, in my eyes he is the fighter of the decade and the same goes for Manny.

    You should of had someone else post this for you...

    On your question, it depends on alot of things, most importantly how Pac looks against Cheato or whomever Pac fights before floyd grows the balls to fight him...Pac's a warrior with a lot of wars already on his resume' and he's getting older every day...

    The damage is done to floyd's career already though...He didn't fight alot top guys in their prime and that is a fact to anybody not infatuated with him...It would help if he finally grew a pair and took on one of his past ducks but, that doesn't forgive 10 years of cherry picking and doesn't excuse running away from the opportunity of a life time when the time was right...Every day he waits, the less a victory would mean for him...

    Nope, the man didn't fight for about 2 years (in the span of 2000-2009). You expect him to be fighter of the decade? :huh

    No. Who is he fighting all this year? Pacquiao is beating Clottey, Cotto, maybe Margarito, while Mayweather sits on his hands. Mayweather did beat Mosley, but he's fighting just enough to remain in the picture and competitive with Pacquiao, not enough to enhance his legacy. I give him credit for beating Mosley but thats all he has done all year.

    I'm one of the biggest joyboys, but who gives a **** about FOTD? The decade is already over. Floyd simply adds another W to his resume after whooping emmanuel.

    emmanuel can keep his FOTD.

    no. the decade is over, so the result of their fight will not affect the FOTD title. however, Floyd will be regarded as the better fighter for that matter.
