Mayweather or Pacquiao?What you think about it.Remember BWAA named Pacquiao before his fights versus Margarito and Mosley.

Mayweather. Look at his fights from 2001 on up. Just because you have punching power and your fights are more "exciting" to watch (casual fan) does not make you the boxer of the decade. Look at the type of competition that each fighter fought in their career. Just because you are media friendly and a feel good story does not make a person fighter of the year. Its like Dennis Roddman being elected in the basketball hall of fame, look at his states and the level of basketball that he played and not the popularity contest and the off the court chaos. Fighter of the Decade rewards a fighter who has displayed mastery inside the ring, not a hype job created by the media.

When put like this, i have to say Mayweather's wins are as impressive as Hopkins. Hopkins best wins are Trinidad, DLH, Tarver, Pavlik, and Wright. Mayweather's are Corrales, Castillo 2x, Judah, DLH, Hatton, JMM, and Mosley. I think the better resume goes to Mayweather, even Mayweather's secondary opponents outweigh Hopkins'. Before i put this together i favored Hopkins but now i lean towards PBF, Hopkins gets no credit for his losses
