Me too.

Pac won it last year.. and money may won the 2 before that... why would you not vote for GSP?

Pac finishes his fights.

GSP still has the possibility of fighting a mega fight.

And your point is ?

Manny's already featured in mega fights and finished both opponents. Plus he's in discussions for another mega fight right now.

So does Pac. That fight isn't dead. Pac's megafight will generate more ppvs buys than 4 GSP fights.

Yo if GSP moves up to 85 and 205 and starts KOing top ten fighters in those weight classes, then we'll talk.

I am fully aware of how much more money a pac fight will generate.. but that has what to do with the best fighter of 2010? And why would GSP need to jump up weight classes and start "KOing" people? We will see GSP at 185 at some point in his career, maybe sooner than later.. but this is a yearly vote. Pac jumping up and up weight classes should hold no affect..

Why shouldn't it ? He's jumped up from Lightweight to start knocking out Welterweights, that's pretty impressive for a man his size.

He needs to eat 7000 calories a day just make the 147lb limit.

If this is about yearly achievements then

GSP has done what take Hardy and Alves to decision ?

Whilst Pacman knocked out Miguel Cotto and dominated Clottey.

As much as I like GSP I find Pacquiao's performances more impressive, and I am not even a big fan of his.

Explain the reasoning behind this statement.

Or steroids.. kidding. But everything you said is valid.. I guess i just don't like seeing the same people winning things over and over.. I don't even think GSP was the best MMA fighter of the year.

Gsp=fighter
PAC=boxer

Gsp wins by default

I'll cosign all of this for sure.

Fair enough, I feel the same way about boxers winning fighter of the year twice in a row.

I'd rather not because I would be wrong.

I'm a huge Pac fan and him beating the shit out of Cotto and pitching a shutout against Clottey was just more impressive to me than GSP last year
