Mat weather and Andre Ward are the only sensible choice for this accolade
both retired undefeated and during the decade were clear 1 and 2 p4p when both were active
Ward won the super 6 and beat an undefeated p4p entrant kovalev 2 times, add Arthur Abraham, Carl Froch, Sakio Bika, Chad Dawson and dominated everyone in his career not name Kovalev
Floyd beat 2 of the top nominees in Manny and Canelo add hall of famers, Cotto, Mosley, and former world champions Berto, Ortiz Maidana and Guerrero
these two are the only legitimate fighters to have a claim at this
Canelo has a very deep resume but some believe he lost at least one fight to GGG or both and he clearly lost to a 36 year old mayweather
Manny has controversial losses to Bradley and Horn but a clear cut decision loss to Mayweather and he got ktfo by Marquez thats tough to argue him being the fighter of the decade
thoughts?
Mayweather was the best fighter of the 2000's AND the 2010's
Nel o has a better career in the 2010s and i don't even like him. But 20 fights is more impressive than 7 fights of any worth for floyd.
There's no logical reason to think flouds win over green cw nelo, literally at his weakest ever in career, and a former flyweight can make you a Fotd nominee even. Floyd s year 2000-2010 was better. He only took a career break in 2000-2010. 2015 onwards he went AWOL
Mayweather was the best fighter of the 2000's AND the 2010's
no way did they select the last FOTD on merit
popularity awards are truly meaningless
they will probably select Ryan Garcia this year, the twitter king
Fighter Of the Decade!
We all knew that floyd is not a fighter but a runner. Your hopes are too high
Runner Of The Decade
ATR (All Time Runner)
TBE (True Boring Ever)
KFC (Kentucky Floyd Chicken)
---> Floyd will definitely won these titles! No questions ask! No doubt! Pinky swear!!
two plates 45 big plates.. kunta saying z caint rep it twice... up pull ups.. i did.. then i made him gimme his commisarry... are we clear... do you know i am more than capable of throwing a puto againt a pilla. concrete... i did it already.. my wife is saying ... papa.. i love you... but we need to end this.. you are a savage.. she is my wi fe and will always be my wife.....i might need to provide prison numbers and shots i got for ****ing goos fuools up... i always love my chances in any combat...
O geez we broke the idiot.
The only thing Floyd is remembered for in decade is denying people fights they wanted to see as Floyd went AWOL for nearly 5 years. So many fights could have been made, with thurman, spence, nel o rematch on the table.
Going AWOL when things hotting up is something floyds known for. Not even Floyd fans really think k Floyd will win. They hope he wins real bad but that's another topic
he fought the best for 20 years and retired at 40 you muppet
don't be ridiculous, nobody ever asked for Mayweather/Thurman because nobody ever thought that fight would be competitive
and why the hell would he rematch Canelo, nobody ever asked for that fight either
stop talking rubbish
Mayweather retired in 2015... back in 2015 Errol Spence had about 15 fights under his belt, casuals had no idea who he was
stop talking rubbish Hugh, no need to sulk just because Pac did not get nominated
He has been retired for half of the decade. He will not get the award. You people don't think with any logic whatsoever.
Floyd fans know Floyd won't win. Floyd only had about 4 fights of any consequence in the decade, pac, old ssm, worn cotto, CW green nelo. Floyd shouldnt actually be a nominee. If he didn't go AWOL and fought thurman, spence, nel o rematch to top decade off then Floyd would be a contender only
that isnt true because many publications has sugar ray leonard as fighter of the decade he he had a combined 4-5 years of no fights in the decade
some publications had manny the 2000s fighter of the decade? how? he lost to a past prime erik morales and knocked down marquez all those times, technically lost more rounds but salvaged a draw.
Great fighter but its simply i like him or i dont like him type decision,
anyone who isnt biased knows mayweather was clearly the most talented fighter and dominant fighter of that decade......came in decade defended titles at 130, and won titles at 4 higher weights, and ended undefeated.

Both quite controversial though.
I think Floyd's win over Canelo is better but wouldn't argue with you.
I agree that Floyd’s win vs Canelo looks better and better. I think we’d love to see Nelo fight a young lion that ends up being the face of the sport and the eventual p4p. When u look at it that way, it’s gonna be hard to duplicate. Ward was a bit of a part time fighter. The W’s Ward gets on paper beating Kovalev is worth more than watching them with ur own eyes.
I don't think it matters how you performed before this decade, or even how many years you performed in this decade... just, what you achieved in this decade...
it is hard to argue that Ward/Canelo achieved more than Mayweather in this decade if you stack up their wins

Going AWOL when things hotting up is something floyds known for. Not even Floyd fans really think k Floyd will win. All these Floyd fans saying Floyd deserves win is through nervousness and insecurity, if They put hand in heart They know clouds not done enough. They hope he wins real bad but that's another topic
Probably mayweather, but I don't think it's as clear cut as everyone makes out. Canelo, Ward and Chocolatito had their whole careers or the best work of their careers in this decade, Mayweather didn't.
However, he still had some good wins and probably deserves it. Wouldn't be angry if Ward or Canelo got it tbh.

The sad thing is all these manny fanboys losing their mind over a made up accolade. Who cares? Floyd fans didn't care this much when Manny won it? Why are they so sensitive. Reminds me over Hillary supporters.
Democrats lost, Hillary lost, Manny lost. get over it.
Merry Chrysler!

Ward didn't stop Kessler and it wasn't this decade, and Mayweather didn't fight Marquez this decade either, so we can't take that into account.
His best wins are Pacquiao and Canelo followed by Cotto and Maidana twice. Ortiz, Berto and Guerrero are just filling really.
Ward's best wins are Froch and Kovalev twice, followed by Dawson, Abraham and Bika.
It's quite close imo. Ward's win over Kovalev is the best on either fighter's resume this decade, when we take everything into consideration
Both quite controversial though.
I think Floyd's win over Canelo is better but wouldn't argue with you.
hard to argue with that
Mayweather defused Pacquiao and schooled Canelo... Ward stopped Kovalev and defused Froch
then what... Ward stopped Dawson and Kessler, Mayweather defused Mosley and schooled Marquez
Mayweather still has Cotto/Maidana/Ortiz, Ward still has Abraham/Bika/Green
Ward was excellent, Mayweather was a little bit better

Manny didnt deserve it last decade
he lost to a past prime Erik Morales scraped a draw vs Marquez a guy he dropped multiple rounds but lost more of the rounds, and clearly was not the best fighter of that span...mayweather was.....undefeated and won titles in 4 divisions.....3 were lineal started decade as undefeated junior lightweight champion only had one close fight the entire decade whereas Manny had wars and struggles
its not about popularity but winning and talent.
Nah pac deserved it last decade. He had the more memorable fights..the more memorable wins.
He dominated prime barrera when nobody thought he would.
Floyd was good from the beginning but his wins are just wins.. nothing memorable about them.. we can say they’re all expected from the judahs and baldomirs of the world.
Pac had upset victories.. teary eyed worthy wins. First time an asian captivated the world like he did.. first time an asian went hand in hand with an american fighter on ppv sales.
Nobody expected how he’d win against past prime oscar, cotto and hatton like he did..
Floyd’s wins were given already, they lacked drama excitement and sensation.
Not to mentioned he retired for 2 years of the decade as well.. that’s just not a decade man..
And pac loss to a past prime morales? Dude morales was 29 at that time... and his decline started with raheem.
And fought until 40..
In total Mayweather retired 8 years from boxing so technically he retired at the age of 34 years while Manny is still active and had been in more wars. Damn You Floyd groupies thinking his been fighting for 20 years plus as a pro. Mannys going on 25 plus years and still fighting.
so wins and losses mean nothing? just being active|
be true to yourself and ask yourself, was manny the best fighter of the 2010s....thats a clear and solid no.....
