Comment On My Top 5 Fighters of the Decade For the 2000s

[Doctor_Tenma]

Hopkins went 17-3 from 2000-2009. And with all three of his losses being highly debatable I would put him as #3, above calzaghe because bhop faced better opponents, same goes for Wlad and he never got KO'd by two chumps.

Pac
Floyd
Hopkins

What he said.

How can a boxer be "fighter of the decade" when wasn't even a fighter for 20% of that decade?

Floyd can be the "Fighter of 4/5 of a Decade"

This can be his trophy:

i'm not really a huge fan of those 2 frankensteins either but can you really ignore the dominance they have the entire decade?
