Who was the better "Fighter of the Decade": Manny Pacquiao(00s) or Roy Jones(90s)?

Imagine meeting groups of Rojos and *******s at the same time. It would be awful.:dead:deadatsch

 

at least the fighter both groups are rooting for are both cited as boxer of the decade. Too bad *****s can't say the same.

Kick rocks *****s!

 

Jones is far better, he completely dominated everyone who stepped in the ring with him. Pacquaio hasn't dominated as easily, he lost to past prime Morales and in many people's eyes lost twice to Marquez. Pacquaio arguably wasn't even the best in any division he's ever fought in, before Pac beat a shot drained Delahoya people were split on who they rated higher between Pacquaio and Marquez.

Talk about competition all you want, but Manny hasn't stepped in the ring with anyone on the level of a James Toney or Bernard Hopkins, if he did he'd have 2 more losses

 

Totally different fighters. Manny is a warrior who gets in wars an gets busted up. Roy never fought the consistent level of Manny, but dominated average fighters easily. Who is greater? Hard to say.

 

Morales past prime and whooped pacs ass in the first fight. Was coming off a loss to Raheem, who is horrible. The Barrera victory was great. I don't believe he beat Marquez that night, THAT IS MY OPINION. Cotto was a good win (although it should not have been a titlefight at 145....) even though I believe Margo took his heart after that beating, he was softened up. Hatton wasn't a good fighter, he ****ing sucks and was already KO'd by Floyd -- I don't really give Floyd much credit for beating him either, Hatton was a overrated guy... he was not that good, even freddy roach said it. Clottey.. NO. Delahoya victory, he was basically retired and made to come down to a weight that made him a zombie.

Lets compare the actual GOOD victories. Not cottey or Hatton, Hatton is like Vinny Paz quality.

Pac is overrated, but so is RJJ. But Pac is more overrated than even RJJ was. Pacs victories often are smoke and mirrors. His best fights were against Barrera, Cotto, and Marquez, Barrera he destroyed, but Marquez he, IMO, pretty much loss both fights. Cotto I still think Margo took a lot out of him and he was not the same, but he was still good. I am not a Pac hater, but this is way overboard. He's more overrated than RJJ ever was. That's why I rarely go into general section.

 

I see you joined recently. Nonsense... you obviously don't know what you are talking about if you are only crediting him with that victory... he beat a lot of quality people at that time, not just beat but pure domination.

 

Pac better resume,RJJ better fighter.As a LHW in his prime he was probably as fast as Manny at WW and that aint BS.

 

Outside of Morales and Barrera all he really has is Cotto ..

Both JMM fights were close ,Hatton was an over hyped british bum and Oscar was a dead man in the ring more than anything he was just a name ..And Clotty is far from a legend ..Manny's resume is deep but its not like his is leaps and bounds over Jones ..

 

**** off *******, you claiming to have objectivity is a joke, when all you do is jack off over Pacquaio's smoke and mirrors

No I don't think Barrera/Marquez are on the same level as Hopkins/Toney, because they aren't and never were considered so at the time they were all fighting. Hopkins wouldn't lose for another 12years, MAB was arguably coming off a loss to Morales

Lets look at Pacs legendary competition:

Ledwaba - very good win

MAB 1 - great win despite MAB being slightly faded

Marquez - he lost

Morales 1 - he lost against a Morales coming off a loss

Morales 2 - he beat a Morales who was 1-2 in his last 3

Morales 3 - he beat a Morales who was 1-3 in his last 4 and would go 1-5 in his 6 fights around this time - WOW *******s start masterbating at this ATG legendary win over a fighter on 1-3 form

Larios - another fighter coming off a loss and jumping 2 divisions while Marquez, Guzman, Barios, Sotto are screaming for a fight

MAB - another opponent coming off a loss (notice a patern here) and a now 33yo. Pacquaio looks unconvincing while Marquez, Guzman, Barios, Sotto are screaming for a fight

Marquez - gets his ass kicked again and another gift

Diaz - weakest LW titlist, while all the top LWs and SFWs were calling him out

Delahoya - dead at the weight, a very good win over a Mayweather left over, but Roach talked about how drained Oscar was

Hatton - good win over a past prime drained Mayweather left over

Cotto - decent win over a Margarito left over who looked shot in his prior fight

Clottey - decent win over an average contender
