Who will be the 2019 FIGHTER OF THE DECADE?

[Rudyo]

I'd have to say it's probably Floyd at this point, Ward is in the running as is Canelo depending on if they can handle business for the next 2 years.

[GMAN SUPREME]

No. That fotd award is like Karl Malone's NBA MVP award. When he played Mike in the finals we saw who should've won the award without question.

stop comparing a team sport to an individual sport. lol the mvp award is for the regular season not post season.

Pacquiao - if he beats Crawford, Mikey Garcia and one of the champions at welter Brook, Thurman or Porter.
Golovkin - if he beats Canelo and Jacobs in rematch and stays undefeated.
Crawford - if he becomes undisputed at 140 and beats Garcia, Loma and PAC.

Lomachenko? Hell no! No chance at all.

Lol.Pac-floyd is 2015 and the award is from 2000-2009. And floyd 2000-2009 run is not as good as pac it's not even close.

i think you are incorrect.The reason they didn't settle it in 09-10 was because Manny refused the fight over drug testing. But that I don't want to derail the thread.

The similarity is they had a chance to settle things after the award was given. is it a perfect comparison, no,

In 97 when Karl won the MYP but Jordan's team had a better record. Manny won the FOTD but Floyd had a better record, going undefeated while Manny lost and had a draw.

Other similarities:

Karl Malone has more pts than MJ same as manny has more titles in more divisions. Head up though Jordan and Floyd won.

Karl is the 2nd best at his position, behind Tim, who is one of but not the greatest ever. Manny is 2nd in his generation behind Floyd, who is one of but not the best ever,

Karl fans and MJ haters whine about the push off rather than pointing out how bad Karl played in the finals. Manny fans and Floyd haters whine about the IV rather than how poorly he fought.

I think the similarities are startling.

It has to be canelo

I think the awards are comparable, you don't, fine with me.

[pacphobia]

Probably Mayweather. Maybe Klitschko if he beats Joshua

Lol! It said Fighter of the Decade not fighter of half of the decade. BWAA members are not idiots to include floyd as FOTY candidate

[The Big Dunn]

pac had multiple wins over barrera and morales a win over marquez he destroyed de la hoya, hatton and cotto all while being the smaller man. he deserved it.

I disagree and have listed the reason why I see it like Malone's MVP in a post to pasawakyo.

A lot can change from now and then If GGG can go unbeaten til 2019 and Ward along with Lomachenko can do the same, I think It will be a very tough call, but It would likely be between Ward and GGG due to the politics I think Ward would probably get it.

Politics? Ward has been undefeated since he was 14 yrs old and lil g won't fight a good fighter and when he did in his last fight he lost to Jacobs and Jacobs even put lil g out of commission that he can't even fight bum as Billy joe! Lol.
