Who will be the 2019 FIGHTER OF THE DECADE?

[GhostofDempsey]

If Loma can get big fights and win them I would say he stands the biggest chance. Thurman, GGG, Canelo and Roman Gonzalez all have a shot as well. Lot can happen in 2 years.

He's accomplished so much in 3 years. He's faced several top notch names and dominated all but 1. He became a 2 weight world champion in less than 10 fights. He's constantly trying to prove himself against other top names and has the genuine hunger to be great.

Again, all this in such a short time and he still has a few years left to rack up more impressive wins, display more talent and showcase his full arsenal. I can see him snatching the title.

O.k. let's cut all the bulls**t out Ward is the decade fighter. Unless Floyd came back.

hard to say cause things might change in next 2 years, but the current frontrunner has got to be gennady golovkin

It'll be whoever has the hottest next two years. People tend to forget the earlier half of the year. It's why Pac won. Floyd was retired while Pac had a monster run starting in 2007

There are almost 3 years left so it is impossible to know the right answer this early. You could only guess. I don't think a boxer has to be completely dominate for the full 10 years to win it. He only has to win lots of important fights and suffer few if any losses during much of the decade. My guess is there will be no standout clear winner with people split on which of several boxers deserves to win it.

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.

I'm not a fan of basketball but i know they award the MVP most valuable player yearly and it is very different to FOTD award which is every 10 years.

You mean good record is being undefeated? lol then calzaghe should be the FOTD because he has more wins than floyd. pac record from 2001-2009 is amazing some say it's unbelievable. from ledwaba to dela hoya where he's always the underdog but he beat those guys with a jaw dropping performace while floyd is temporary retired.

and floyd is the one who doesn't want the fight in 2010 because he's making his own new drug testing rules in boxing where nobody heard before.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Honestly, right now I think it's clearly Floyd mayweather..

Floyd has wins over cotto, canelo, manny, maidana

Andre Ward is 2nd with kovolev, froch, Dawson,

canelo is 3rd with cotto, Lara,

Kovolev is 4th with Hopkins, pascal,

Wladimir had a chance with Haye, povetkin, if he could have added fury n Joshua or maybe wilder, he would be much closer to the top

Honorable mentions: lomachencko, Crawford, Thurman, manny, golovkin

lol what are you smoking doofus, pacquiao won fighter of the decade in the 2000s and roy won it in 90s. those were two no brainers the award has not been "devalued". your just saying that because gayweather jr didn't win it.

You'll be surprised by their words.
