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

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Floyd has wins over

Sugar Shane
Cotto
Canelo
Manny
Maidana twice


Nobody can top that

If these millennial champions continue to slack off and avoid each other, old man Manny freakin Pacquiao might miraculously steal another fighter of the decade. Look how many prime undefeated pound for pound champions he could possibly add to his resume:

1. Timothy Bradley
2. Errol Spence/Mikey Garcia
3. Terence Crawford
4. Thurman

etc.. etc.. he doesn't even need to finish them all to be considered undisputed pound for pound number one once again, and at 40+, that is unprecedented.

Jesezz it's a tall task mission impossible suited only for a fairy tale ending, but you see, he is in a pool and situation where he can very well steal the title again without a doubt.

Floyd not active enough missing half the decade and already they are mentioning the condition of floyd's opposition when he fought them, that's not good at all. But I wouldn't mind if he gets it, everyone is bad candidate at the moment anyway, probably the worst pool of FOTD candidate in all of boxing history. Canelo should win this as he continues to fight the best in his way. Pacquiao needs miracle to catch up but the formula is there.

cant see how crawford can get it

he chose to re-sign with top rank, its almost certain his resume wont contain thurman, porter, spence or garcia

opinion is split on whether he would beat spence

yes, he was undisputed at 140 but he beat idongo to become that. prograis beat idongo quicker. does this mean we have prograis in the running for fighter of the decade if he wins the wbss?

to say crawford is even in the running is ridiculous imo

[Letmaku]

This is the decade of cherry picking, weight cheating and drug cheating! Zero is the most important number! And boxing is the most lucrative business in the world!

Mikey Garcia has the formula if successful will win FOTD award! Usyk beating Joshua will be FOTD. Canelo beat Jacobs & GGG again, Crawford beating Spence, and Lomachenko beat Prograis or Pacquiao at 140 can be FOTD?!

the writers are favourable towards top rank guys, not favourable towards floyd

probably why floyd sr or roger haven't won trainer of the year once, and roach has won it numerous times

probably why crawford somehow features on that list

[pasawayako]

If Pacman beat Spence & Crawford in 2019 he can be FOTD again! 🦁

A win over one of them will make pac a very strong candidate for the 2019 FOTD.

Roach used to train a lot of the really hot guys, pacquiao, khan and ruslan when he was hyped. And he took very raw fighters, usually coming off losses transformed pacquiao and transformed khan and brought their careers to new heights, even cotto got a short boost. So ofcourse he'd get it over the mayweathers who only had floyd jr.

Logic. There was more contest between roach and robert garcia, the mayweathers dont even come close.

Nobody can top that

unless you out-classed Rigo (a better version of mayweather) so bad he quits. Or you topple Linares w/ a body punch.


Fury's comeback win over Wilder pretty much schitz on Mayweather's whole career.
