For fighting steadily despite the occasional loss for the past 40 years, Top Rank Promotions chief Bob Arum has chosen eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao as Fighter of the Decade over undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The 88-year-old international boxing promoter, who has been at his job since the 1960s, said no fighter comes close to the Filipino ring icon in terms of accomplishments for the past 10 years.
