    I feel currently May has the win of the decade (Fury isn't so far behind with Wlad tbh) but he has a couple other solid wins too, namely Cotto and in controversial fashion Canelo. Sadly, 5 of his 9 fights have been against guys who never amounted to much/were past it/b- level at best. Then again, with how lackluster some of the fighters this decade have been, he'd probably top it on the back of a single win.

    We still have to wait and see how Ward, Kovalev, GGG, Canelo, Fury, AJ and a few others turn out.

      Yeah, fair enough. I think we all have to go off what the historians said but its also why I limited my lists to 1950. Before that, it gets very difficult to find footage, even of prominent names like Charles and Moore.

        I also agree that Oscar should be ahead of Trinidad. Even though he boxed or ran the last 4 rounds it doesn't change the fact that he won at least 8 of the first 9 rounds

          i dunno who Garry is but Larry sure was sure lol



          Man there were some great fights pre 1980, you're telling me as a boxing fan you haven't seen the series of fights between Ali/Frazier/Foreman/Norton? Or Duran and Dejesus? Or parts of Monzons run at middle or Fosters run at LHW? Heck Foster even faced Frazier and Ali.



          Floyd beat him in 2015...



          See above



          the decade starts at 2010 lol but yeah you're right apart from that.

          Wait you made the decade 2001-2010...that's not hoe decades work man lol it's 2000-2009. 2010 is the start of a new decade.
          I referd to your orginal list,allways thought it was 2001-2010 not 2000-2009 but what i know

            Exactly. Oscar was robbed, almost as bad as the Whitaker/Sr fight of the Pac/Bradley fight.

            Plus, Oscar holds the better wins (slightly) and managed to stay at the top a much longer time.
