Floyd Mayweather- FIGHTER OF THE DECADE? Yes or No?

[BattlingNelson]

He is Teh Bestestes Eva!! So he is Fighter of the Millenium!!!

[elfag]

Theres only another year and change left. I dont see anyone topping his resume.

And he has wins over some of the runner ups. Canelo, Pac.

[W1LL]

I got no faith in AJ, he's already shown weakness.

In boxing once you show an ounce of weakness your credibility goes out the window.

The people want a champion with balls of stone. AJ has already shown he's soft.

Yea homedog, but still, IF he vanquishes Fury and Wilder in megafights, unifying and consolidating his position as Heavyweight king, you have to give it to him.

He's a completely different fighter from that time, he learned a lot from that fight and it showed in the Lara fight where after 3 rounds he started going for broke with body shots. He wasn't going to make the same mistake.

I give Floyd credit for being smart, he did end up draining him, he didn't drain Cotto or Mcgregor at 154 but he knew that even a green Canelo is a hard puncher.

You can call it a good win because Canelo has improved and has now become a top fighter but there's no way imo that you can say he wasn't green or he's the same prime fighter he is now 5 years later.

you make some good valid points but there was such a gulf in class and ability I can't see what would be different if that version of Floyd fought the current canelo even at 154 (if canelo could make it for arguments sake)

he might be able to make it a bit closer at best but he just couldn't get on the inside and didn't have the footwork to beat floyd to the punch and as far as I can see that hasn't changed enough to convince me he could ever beat him outside a lucky punch

[davef]

as for Maywether as FOTD I think so yea he beat guys who are still around collecting belts and also beat a guy who went on to hold the MW title in cotto

it would be a cert if he fought another 2 years at top level but someones going to have to do something special to top him

I don't think anyone else is near the same ballpark so far so Floyd seems obvious

[IronDanHamza]

Possible but I think they'll give it Lomachenko.

[-Makunouchi-]

Loma will be the frontrunner, still active!

[Lomadeaux]

Pukesville. Huger, clincher, head butter,wrestler, ball puncher Ward can't even come close to matching what Floyd did this decade, Floyd had about twice as many fights against better overall opposition.

Ignore that dumb *****. He's an idiot.

Pretty accurate.
