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

I agree with the 2000-2009 part.

Hard to seperate 3 fighters. Floyd and Manny both have stellar wins in the lighter divisions, I give it to Manny though coz he fought the 3 Mexican legends a mind boggling 7 times and only had 1 defeat from it. Since moving north of 140 they have both definately cherry picked.

I guess the most impressive win would be Floyd scraping past Oscar at 154. To counter balance that I have Manny demolishing Cotto but at a CW. Floyd handed Hatton his first loss but at a weight that I don't think Hatton did very well at, Manny beat him quicker at his preferred weight of 140 but Floyd had of course gotten to him first. So that's about a draw.

In summing up I think I'll give it to Hopkins! He has consistently sought out the guys at the very top of their respective divisions and I think the only guy he really cherry picked was Roy Jones (although that came in 2010-the start of a new decade?). That and he has also handed out some career ending fights. Even the losses to Taylor, Taylor definately came out the loser from their encounters.

I agree with this all the way. I can't knock those 3 guys and surprisingly, it shows Roy Jones did hurt his legacy somewhat cause there was a time he would have gotten some votes!

Didn't Roy get that award for the 90's? Has anyone gotten fighter of the decade twice? It would be weird if someone got the award twice.
