    A Decade in Review: What great boxers fought from 2000-2010?

    It seems as if every decade in the 1900's, amazing boxers existed.

    Jack Dempsey
    Joe Louis
    Rocky Marciano
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Muhammad Ali
    George Foreman
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Mike Tyson
    Joe Frazier
    Pernell Whitaker
    Tommy Hearns
    Nigel Benn
    Gerald McClellan
    Lennox Lewis

    I don't know of any fighter's within the last decade that are of the same caliber of fighter's like Tyson. Have I missed something?

      nah man, i know of those fighters. but they just dont have the same presence. when i watch tysons fights, even though i know who's gonna win, im on the edge of my seat because i know that just one of his clever, accurate, and strong punches could end it.

            Mayweather
            Pacquiao
            Hopkins
            Calzaghe
            Mosley
            De La Hoya
            Jones

            I don't think RJJ or DLH had any great wins in the 00's tho except Vargas for Oscar...

              I consider Jones a 90s fighter. His only real convincing win in the 2000s was the Ruiz fight.

                  pretty sure its manny pacquiao, youtube favorite boxer, lewis leanord n wright all say pacquiaos the most exciting since tyson, tyson sed pacquiao reminds him of himself, and even ufc fighters like bjpenn and frank mir have work outs called "the pacquiao"....no one comes close to pac rite now but since hes on top hes gettin hate.... i know you miss iron mike but come on man, hes finished, he was my fav growing up too...
