Prediction: fighter of the decade 2011-2020 ?? Who are candidates ?

[bojangles1987]

Donaire and Wlad will both be retired long before 2020.

You have to look at the guys who just began getting their big wins this decade, or will be at a world class level soon. Ward is the easy choice, but I think someone else will get it, almost impossible to say right now. Likely it will be someone we don't even think about now.

[Zopilote]

Andre Ward.

[Troav]

I'm thinking Andre Ward

[JDezi4]

Top picks not Broner, Donaire, Ward...

If Broner can dominate 140, and move up to 147 and there too in 8 more years, but I can't see him doing it

Ward I think will run out of opponents within 3 years, so he's probably not gonna be seen as a top guy once the excitement of seeing him dominate elite opponents disappears... But if he can stay undefeated

I'm pretty sure Donaire's done dominantly moving up in weight... And since he's got the most problems as far as finding opponents... 8 years from now what can u see him accomplishing?

The more I think of it you might be right guys like nonito and wlad will be long gone and it might be a fighter that's not even on the radar as of now.

[Earl Hickey]

there is too long to even guess

[SCtrojansbaby]

No chance for Donaire he's too old.

I'll go with Yoan Hernandez, Abner Mares and Andre Ward as the top 3 at this point.

donaire is 30 years old, and a small guy. smaller guys peak early. he's almost certainly going to start slowing int he coming years. additionally, he's going ot be looking at fights against much larger guys as he loses the ability to dry out to these small weights as his metabolism slows.


he's been at the top for a while now. i doubt very much that he'll be the fighter of the decade

I agree with Ward or Broner, you could also throw in a Abner Mares (regardless of what some people think about his fighting style)

but I have a feeling a fighter that nobody is expecting will emerge and put his name up their with these fighters, could be Leo Santa Cruz, could be someone like Demetrius Andrade anything can happen in boxing, it is a lot of talented fighters that only needs one fight to make a name for themselves but who haven't gotten it because they are not with the right Promotion or Manager like Al Haymon

But Clearly Andre Ward has the head start over everyone so far

[-MAKAVELLI-]

beat Eloy Perez and Demarco



FOTD talks ensue....you motherf0ckers are funnily retarded
