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

This decade started in 2010, so it ends in 2019. If you think about it, it's really not too long from here, just 7 years. 7 years fly by QUICK. We're all quick to mentioning the guys who are hot right now, but what about the guys who are under the radar? Who would have thought in the early 2000s, that Mayweather and Pacquiao were going to be the talked about fighters for FOTD? Nobody mentioning Timothy Bradley because of his last fight. Saul Alvarez, nobody is mentioning him just because of his current opposition. Yuriorkis Gamboa, who says doesn't have 6-7 years of destruction left in him? With that said, it's pretty hard to not predict that it could be Andre Ward. It's easy to pick him because of what he's currently doing. Perhaps not Pacquaio but most people considered Mayweather to become a huge success. I see what you're saying though and it makes sense.

Can you at least wait 5 more years? Why the rush Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Too early to even try

you're talking potential that hasn't been tested compared to guys that have been ie. ward/donaire...hell even mares has been tested and has shown to live up to his potential to me, talking about broner in those terms when he hasn't even fought at a world class level is pretty funny Well hell trying to predict what will happen in 2020 is funny if you want to look at it that way

some one irrelevant right now would put in a decent run from 2016 to 2019 and win it

beat Eloy Perez and Demarco FOTD talks ensue....you motherf0ckers are funnily retarded It is not based on who he has fought already, it is based on what he POTENTIALLY CAN DO plus his AGE and him being a very young fighter If Canelo steps up competition and starts beating guys like Trout, Lara or Vanes, Molina, K9 and clean out his Division then you could also put him in the mix

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

I say Ward, Donaire and Broner in that order as of right now. I forgot bout nonito. But do you think they'll give it to another Filipino fighter b2b 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

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 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. 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.

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?

I'm thinking Andre Ward

Andre Ward.

If Wlad can stay undefeated for 5-6 more years than he should take it easily

Expect this guy to be on that list real soon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLOnVBx_yqc that guy will get KO'd sooner or later

Ward and Broner are great but hands down Donaire, he has put on several great bouts and has another win over Arce next.

I forgot bout nonito. But do you think they'll give it to another Filipino fighter b2b well if he is deserving of it then I don't see why nationality should come into play. I think he has the best chance of getting FOTY for 2012.
