10 Greatest Fighters of the last decade?

[edgarg]

yea but i think naseem retired too soon

I just noticed that pac beat 5 people on that list lol

Hamed lost interest in his last few years. I saw him repeatedly say that his hands were going on him. He had very serious hand trouble, well known at the time, but overlooked by many these days. His knuckles used to swell enormously after fights, looked grotesque. He often broke bones. I remember that when Wayne McCullough managed to survive the full fight after taking an enormous beating, the reporters regarded it as a miracle, since Hamed's record at that time was 30-0 with 28 KOs. He was a beady-eyed destroyer.

I don't think that Cotto can be put on the same level as Trinidad. Trinidad was unbeatable until the Hopkins fight. He just didn't know how to lose. Either he was upset by the 9/11 catastrophe after which the fight was postponed and he spent the time helping to clear rubble, or...he just took a step too far.

I think it's a digital decade from 2000-2010, unless a particular starting year is specified.

Cotto? Wasnt even the best Puerto rican last decade... I'd add Ivan Calderon to the list easily. In no order

K Bros
Floyd
Pac
Shane
JMM
B Hop
Ivan Calderon
Kostya Tszyu
Oscar (I don't care here, he was still mostly competitive and a massive influence)

I can't bring myself to bring Morales nor Barrera into the top 10. Not when Pac and JMM are already there. Winky also beat Shane so out of spite I wont add him lol

Calderon and Mosley over Barrera and Morales....yea that makes no sense

[ronnie_N.]

1. Pacquiao
2. Hopkins
3. Wlad K
4. Morales
5. Mosley
7. Marquez
8. Barrera
9. Calzaghe
10. Mayweather

I don't value then as much as I should, even if I'm Mexican. Just the image of Pac beating the dog s hit out of then was too strong for me to consider them over Shane or especially Calderon. Neither of them were as good as Calderon imo... Popular and fan friendly? Of course, especially since they are greatly tied to each other. P4p, neither beats Mosley or Calderon (imo of course) so there's that.
