Who's the fighter of the decade?

[Doctor_Tenma]

Bernard Hopkins and no I won't explain. Honestly, no point in any of this, I've said it before and I'll say it again

Pacquiao will win the poll

[VERSION1 (V1)]

1a pacman
1b floyd
1c bhop

Glad that you completely ignored the primary point that the decade isn't over. These threads have been made a million times since Pacquiao-Hatton, largely with the purpose of singing the praises of Pacquiao. Here's a novel idea - why don't we wait until the essential fights have happened before pointlessly deciding things in advance?

what could happen in the rest of this year that will put anyone above pacquiao?

I don't think a decision win by mayweather over pac would place him #1. thats just my take.

I would still rate pac above PBF.

Pacquiao right now...

These are arguably the most important months of the entire decade. If the decade were to end tomorrow, I think you could make cases for Hopkins and Pacquiao. I would say Floyd but to be fair he has missed two years and I guess people give Pac more credit for moving through the weight classes because he did it over a short period of time rather than letting his body grow into the weight more. Either way the next seven months are key. If Hopkins beats Adamek then he would get my vote and I guess if he were try he could fight twice this year. Froch and Adamek and I think he wins it. Then obviously we have the Mayweather Pacquiao fight where if Mayweather wins you can't place Pacquiao higher than him and you have a choice between Hopkins and Mayweather. If Pacquiao beat Mayweather there is no doubt he is fighter of the decade. BUT if Marquez beats Mayweather let alobe Pacquiao as well there is no doubt in my ind that he would be fighter of the decade

Well said, and I agree. I think we'll have to wait and see what the next 7 months bring to the table.

It's hard to say, if Pacquiao loses it ultimately comes down to what qualities one gives more weight to. Mayweather indeed needs to win both fights in impressive fashion for them to significantly add to his legacy. On the opposite side a Pacquiao win would obviously catapult him into the true boxing pantheon, unequivocally.

winner of pac/floyd gets it.

Calzaghe for me

[Chr0nic]

i had to pick shane mosley, not because he's fighter of the decade, but because you ****s are leaving him in calzaghe's dust, why the **** is calzaghe even in the poll? anyone that votes for him is obviously a nuthugger
