Comments Thread For: Fighter of The Decade? Mayweather, Ward Top List of Candidates

[BoxingB4Pride]

I would give it to Maidana or Salido... they came on top when they fought fighters they were supposed to lose to... they dethroned superstars, got robbed a couple of times, and faced everyone that was willing to fight them. They were never given anything and earned their name in the boxing game the way everyone should by fighting. This two never had diva demands. Floyd, Pacquiao, and Cotto were the generation of divas in boxing, catch weights, face out of prime opposition, among a million other diva demands.

Great post and great points! These are the fighters we should value most. The fight all, fear none fighter. God bless boxing.

Barrera 2003 and Marquez 2008 but nice try though. Just because Mayweather doesn't have any prime ATG fighters on his resume doesn't also mean that Manny didn't fight atgs in their prime and best them.

He tooked the risks and he took the scalp. And P4P? Barrera was p4p 3 behind bhop and Roy Jones coming off wins from Tapia Hamed and Morales when Pacquiao had beaten, that's a legit prime ATG . While Marquez was p4p top 2 behind Pacquiao, coming off series of wins. And they fought at their prime weight class while also in their prime age.

Neither were in their prime.

I thought P4P didnt mean crap? You forgot that already?

So does the winner get a trophy or something?

Boring fighters top the list...

Floyd. Not even close. Followed by Ward and Canelo.

Not even close. Prime Barrera, Morales, Marquez all better than a green Clenelo.

None of those were in 2010 and Canelo has already accomplished more than Barrera, Morales, or JMM...which is crazy to read typing this.

Ca$hnelo is a 3 division champ (first MexiCHAMP to do that). Ca$hnelo eyeing a 4th division against Krusher..crazy ambition.

And Canelos resume is ATG impressive. People like to give Canelo a hard time, but his opponent list is ATG good

Your statement is meaningless. It's not backed by anything.

Barrera was coming off of wins over Morales, Kevin Kelly, Hamed, Tapia etc. before he fought Pacquiao, after Pacquiao bludgeoned him, and do you know what happened after Pacquiao destroyed him? He TKO'ed Ayala then he beats Morales again an become a champion at 130 until Marquez beats him at 2007.

Marqyez was coming off of wins, of Salido, Barrera, Chris John (Robbery of the year), Juarez. And after Pacquiao beats him, he unified 135, before having to move up two weight classes by Floyd.

Sorry dude, the facts are not in your favor, they were prime fighters when Pacquiao fought and beat him.

You're the one that mentioned P4P. So I just added flavor to it because it seemed that you were asking for it. Marquez was P4P No. 2 when Pacquiao beat him, Barrera was P4P No. 3 when Pacquiao beat him, and the differences P4P fighters that Floyd fought and Pacquiao fought are that the P4P Pacquiao fought where legit Prime ATG's, while Floyd fought old men.

The facts added that: 2 Prime ATG's at their best weight class were beaten by Pacquiao.

Mind your manners child, I was going off Hauser's 5 picks which are likely to be more authoritative.


Babbling gibberish, difficult to decipher and frankly I can't be bothered doing so.

Not to mention, Lomo, Crawford, Golovkin only fought cannon fodder from 2010 to 2013. In fact, Lomo only started in 2013! Does that make them a total joke too??

Fighter of the DECADE doesn't mean fighter of 2016-2019 lmao.

Yes! So the real contenders are guys who have fought good competition throughout 2010s.

Loma came on too late and did lose once

Usyk came on too late

Joshua came on too late

Crawford probably doesnt have the resume although he hasn't lost and has looked dominant every time out...hes also being actively DUCKED by Errald Spencer, Danny G, Keith One Lisp Thurman, and MMAPorter

GGG has 2-3 decent wins in his ENTIRE career and one of those wins was a WELTERWEIGHT. Also he drew and lost to Canelo

Canelo, Andre Ward (even with the 1st loss to Sergio which was redeemed with a TKO win), and Terrence Crawford are the only real options for FOTD

Erm no buddy YOU are the one who mentioned P4P when you said "Lomachenko made P4P fighters quit" then did a 180 when your own logic was used against you Shortest memory ever or just the IQ of a squirrel? Which one?

Barrera had been in numerous brutal wars by 2003. Isn't that your logic for a fighter being past it? He absolutely was not in his physical peak in 2003.

Marquez has a better argument but at age 35 and 15 years a pro he had slipped slightly physically from the fighter he was a few years prior.
