How many years are there in a decade?

Apparently around 6 years since Floyd won fighter of the "decade".

Imagine being so stupid you think 2010-2020, which would be 11 years, is a decade. A decade, by definition, is 10 years. It's not our fault you failed elementary school math.

This thread and others just illustrates how utterly ret@rded much of Manny's fan base is and always will be. How is this even a discussion? Here is another way to look at it. 1 year=12 months Jan 1, 2010-Dec 31, 2019=120 months Jan 1 2009,-Dec 31, 2019=132 months. Now divide 132 by 12 and tell us what you get?

OP is stupider than the people thinking a decade is '09-'19 just for starting this thread. This guy is so retarded he can't even spot a parody thread :dunce:

Or you can do it 1991-2000 2001-2010 2011-2020 But obviously if there handing out fighter of the decade already, that means they’re looking at it as 2010-2019

Oh yea Im pro dumb sh^t don't get me wrong. excellent news sir, I am safe with you then

No the contention IS the number of years!!! 2009-2019 is ELEVEN YEARS. What 10 year span the decade ranges from is irrelevant. You can't include wins from 2009 AND 2019 for a decade of work like the idiot claimed because that is ELEVEN years worth of fights. My point of contention isn't the number of years, it's when we start counting. I hope that's easier :D (By my logic above, you've incorrectly included 2010 in the 2019 decade for example)

:lol1::lol1:

2000-2009 2010-2019 2020-2029 R u morons that dumb? not as dumb as the morons who think decade 1 had 9 years. however, no biggie. The concept of 80s 90s, 10s is great too (which is what you mean).

The contention isn't the number of years, it's at what point do you start counting. By the calendar year, our decade should not end until 31/12/2020 as we didn't start until 2011. This is the point I very clearly made in my example that you cut out. If you have a different theory, share it or stop being so damned obtuse No the contention IS the number of years!!! 2009-2019 is ELEVEN YEARS. What 10 year span the decade ranges from is irrelevant.

Only on NSB would this be a debatable topic lol. This sh^t is like the flat Earth debate for boxing fans. Feel like a MIT graduate up in this forum sometimes. but dumbness should be allowed to exist, that means we get to celebrate end of decade (and millenium if you are old enough) twice. Double bubble.

Its not. Theres either 10 years in a decade or you suck at definitions cuz the definition of a decade is 10 f#cking years. This ain't THAT complicated of a concept.

This is actually a much more interesting question than people seem to realise. I actually have no idea what the rule is but there isn't a sure logic path to either way of doing it. Because the period from 2010-2019 is 10 years you idiot :lol1: Count the years; 2009 - 1 2010 - 2 2011 - 3 2012 - 4 2013 - 5 2014 - 6 2015 - 7 2016 - 8 2017 - 9 2018 - 10 2019 - 11 Now count these years; 2010 - 1 2011 - 2 2012 - 3 2013 - 4 2014 - 5 2015 - 6 2016 - 7 2017 - 8 2018 - 9 2019 - 10 Which one equals to 10? I have put the numbers by the side to make it easier. You need to remember that we didn't start from year 0 in the Gregorian calender. It went BC 1 to AD 1. So the very first year was 1, so to reach the first decade the count has to reach 10. You are including the year 10, into the next decade. Year 1 = 1 Year 2 = 2 etc Year 9 = 9 Year 10 = 10 End of Decade Year 11 = 1 Year 12 = 2 etc Year 19 = 9 Year 20 = 10 End of Decade So the year 2010, should be included in the decade of 2001-2010

2000-2009 2010-2019 2020-2029 R u morons that dumb?

If the calendar started at year 1 then yes it would have been in the last decade. Last decade would be 2001-2010, current decade is 2011-2020, next decade would start in 2021. Well firstly that isn't how modern history looks at decades. But that's a moot point anyway. The poster claimed that wins in 2009 and 2019 should go toward the last decade despite those wins being over 10 years apart. So how can the entirety of 2009 and 2019 be in the same decade when they are 11 years apart? That's the point here. Not when the decade starts.

We are looking for clarity. To clarify, was 2009 in the last decade? If the calendar started at year 1 then yes it would have been in the last decade. Last decade would be 2001-2010, current decade is 2011-2020, next decade would start in 2021.

We are fortunate the decade doesnt start in 2009. Adrien Broner would have been a lock.

5 that is why floyd won

now that i know a decade is 11 years i have to change my fighter of the decade vote, hell i have to change my entire way of thinking !
