selij Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Not even worth discussing. 2 of the named boxers have lost to the other one! No contest . TBE. You can't BE the man if you aint beat the man. Simple logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 --- Already made my pick here: https://roberto00.wordpress.com/2019/12/01/reviewing-the-2020-fighter-of-the-decademanny-pacquiao/ Didn't include Floydy because he quit in 2015 save for McG debut where he was actually beating on Floydy. Id chose Canelo next, and speaking about McG, Floydy gone begging for him as McG been talking of Manny as Arum offers him a Craw/2 fight deal, one in the ring and one in the cage, so McG in the catbird seat.

selij Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 --- Already made my pick here: https://roberto00.wordpress.com/2019...anny-pacquiao/ McGregor landed more punches against TBE in 10 rounds than Pacroid did in 12.. :haha: Didn't include Floydy because he quit in 2015 save for McG debut where he was actually beating on Floydy.

LondonRingRules Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 --- One of McG punches = 2 Floydy touches and 1 Maidana = 5 Floydy. Multiply by CompuDumb and there you have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Manny will always be better and more worthy for that title than Floyd. He kept fighting and never had layoffs, beat almost everyone he faced and was exciting to watch. His resume is stronger than Floyd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selij Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 If you two (Boz and LRR) cant see the logic of a man who has beaten the other two being the better man I fear for your sanity. Or maybe the white Eastern European and the white Texan are just racists....and dont want to see the truth. I repeat - how can you be the man if you haven't beaten the man? Are you nuts as well as racists ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Fuck boring-ass, set-up fighting Floyd. And I can't vote for Manny as he's clearly a walking lab experiment at this point. Both of those guys had their day, but those days are fading into mist. Canelo is CLEARLY the man, post 2010. I'd put Loma as a close second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you nuts as well as racists ? I think that logic is outdated. First of all-that Floyd-Manny fight was GARBAGE. And second: look at their resumes and the longevity as well! I won't argue with you if you gonna insult me. I'm almost starting to think someone has hacked Sel's account, what do you say LRR? :haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 --- Pray tell us whenever Floydy became The Man? When a lower IQ family of felons who couldn't fight their way out of a bag of popcorn took over MGM/USADA/Vegas? If Joe Louis were alive he'd be highly offended in the way his name and reputation were being used to float a family of sinkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Good grief.....I don't even like the man, but it's clear as day Floyd has been mr boxing for pretty much the entire 21st century never minds just the last decade. Manny runs him a close second, but it's a no brainer. No one comes close. Loma and Canelo will be the men for the decade 2015-2025 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_budweiser Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Mayweather hands down. I just wish Mayweather-Pacquiao took place years before it took place. The fans should of had a triology of that fight while both where in their prime and we would of all spoke about if for many years but now were just left with, what if?

Nobody but Flomos liked his way of fighting since he became a welter. It is just an opinion yes, but my claim is kind of backed up by the fact he made all that money with PPV events, crossover to WWE and then these more recent novelty events which probably generated more than 99% of currently active top boxers purses. Oh and he beat everyone he faced including the next man in line for the fighter of the decade and the man people could actually put number 3 in that list also. :haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undefeated Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 OK, maybe this will help. Remember, it's not a Fighter of the Century or Fighter of the Year poll, but the decade specified. Floyd Mayweather 10-0-0 Saul Alvarez 23-1-1 Manny Pacquaio 12-4-0 Perhaps I'll close the poll early and get on with it since we have a good few votes and I haven't added mine yet (because I'm having trouble deciding).

Undefeated Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 OK so I asked this the day I heard Shane Mosley say that Saul Alvarez should have won FOTD over Floyd Mayweather. My immediate reaction was to call him a hater and switch off the video mid-sentence as I didn't see how it could not be Mayweather particularly as he beat Canelo. But then I realised I couldn't actually remember how much of the decade Floyd was fighting so I looked into it and he actually fought Berto in 2015 meaning he only fought for half the decade. So, with that in mind the question becomes, did he do more in 5 years than Canelo or Pacquiao did in 9? For me that just cannot be the case, wins over Berto, Guerrero and Ortiz aren't enough for me to push aside a fighter who fought more than twice the number of fighters and beat the likes of Lara, Golovkin and Kovalev in what has been a fantastic decade for the Mexican. I don't say there are any wrong answers to the question as it is all about opinions but looking at the objective data the hardest thing for me to see is how Pacquaio could get it so I agree with @Cableaddict on this one and I was too hasty to shoot down Mosley, in the end it seems I agree. Thanks for your votes, it was great to hear everyone's point of view and arguments too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 --- voted For Manny-set unbreakable Ring p4p records-shut out two of the most avoided fighters to open 2010, Clottey/Marg-literally knocked the snot out of young, undefeated wunderkind to close the decade, all while serving in the Filipino congress.
