SSM opponents since 2000 are good enough for him to be in the TOP 5 Fighters of the decade list. ODLH (2), Taylor, Forrest (2), Winky (2), Estrada, Vargas, Collazo, Cotto, mayorga and Margarito. His record in the nineties is good enough to be arguably in the top 10 of that decade. SSM has not been KO through the same span of time.
He lost to 2 taller opponents, one southpaw, who are good boxers too, that is the main reason he won't fight Paul Williams. And there is the close fight against Cotto. But from all the options out there, PW is the best challenge. SSM beats Berto, Clottey and Cintron with a hand tied on his back. (then again, I think he can't beat The Punisher)
SSM is currently the best WW out there at 38-39 y/old. No much time to add meaningful big fights to his legacy. The Mayweather Jr. fight has been way-over-due, and I believe SSM is the only boxer that beats PBF. PaC will fight Cotto. PW is the best option out there.
Who do you think will be better for SSM to make a case to be name Fighter of the Decade?
(BTW, the top of the list must have PAC, BHoP)
