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

[Earl-Hickey]

It's Mayweather with klitschko #2

Lol @ Crawford his resume isn't even close.... yet

[MisanthropicNY]

This obsession with undefeated is getting sickening. Crawford's resume is horrid.

[Sledgeweather17]

Why is this guy lying? Ward and Kov were p4p 1 and 2? Nonsense! I'm pretty sure GGG was up there and Ward wasn't as he was coming back from a long ass spell of inactivity that spans across years.

Also Mayweather and Pac were undisputed p4p 1 and 2 even at the time they fought. So if you wana give it to Ward based on p4p 1 and 2 fighting why not Mayweather?

Also you neglect to mention that Mosley was p4p number 3 when he and Mayweather fought. It was Mayweather, Pac, and Mosley in the top 3.

You talk about asterisks on Ward and Mayweather about guys being old or weight conditions, but you don't mention how old and small Rigo was when he jumped two weight classes to fight Lomachenko.

You don't mention how Loma struggled with Linares and Padreza, Gervonta's leftover KO victim.

It's what a fighter did in the decade, who he beat, what he achieved. Not who fought the most you ******.

Mayweathers resume for this decade far surpasses anyone else.

How so?

Hauser is not going to rate Mosley or Cotto. Ortiz? Guerrero? The only significant win Floyd has is Canelo in this decade. Hauser isn’t going to consider Berto, Maidana, or the Pac win. Hauser pushed IV Gate. Hauser went against PBC, so Pac is out of the picture.

It all comes down to Ward and Canelo. Canelo has 2019 to wrap up.

[BigStomps]

No disrespect to Crawford but to put him over Canelo??? That's crazy!
Out of the 8 Crawford and Triple g have the weakest resume!
It should be out of Canelo, Ward and Mayweather. The other's come behind these 3.

[TheCell8]

It's going to come down to who had the best wins and I think that's Ward.

Mayweather's best wins came over Canelo and Pac. But Canelo was 23 years old, and Pac was 36 and had lost a couple fights during the decade prior to facing Floyd so the significance of the fight wasn't great, plus it was a terrible fight. Outside of those two he did fight Mosley and Cotto, but they were aging opponents as well. He didn't have a signature win against a top fighter.

Ward won the Super Six and beat Froch and Kovalev. I would argue those are more impressive wins considering how on top of their game both of those fighters were. He also did it in two different weight classes.

He beat a past-their prime Cotto and Pacquiao. He beat Canelo. That's really it.

Unless you think Berto, Conor McGregor and the Japanese teenager were impressive wins?

This obsession with fighters being "undefeated" is ******ed. You might as well add your boyfriend Joshua to the list too.

[Thuglife Nelo]

It all depends on how DAZN will push Canelo in 2019.

DAZN’s aim could be to own the rights for the fight that made him Undisputed at 160 beating Jacobs and Andrade.

[Robbie Barrett]

He beat an past-their prime Cotto and Pacquiao. He Canelo. That's really it.

Please post the fighters resume that is better than this, this decade.

Mosley - P4P 3
Ortiz
Cotto
Guerrero P4P - 10
Canleo P4P - 9
Maidana
Pacquiao P4P - 2

I don't give a **** what excuses you make after, they were highly rated at the time. Mayweather was also past prime.

[BillyBoxing]

A fighter can have a dominant 10 year stretch, but if it doesn't neatly line up with the calendar decades, then they get shafted.

Mayweather is the best fighter to have fought for any chunk of this past decade. (With the possible exception of Loma, but we don't have enough evidence yet to put him above Mayweather, and won't for many years.)

Crawford I can see getting it, and I wouldn't think that was a terrible decision.

Ward got outboxed by Kovalev, in his prime. Canelo has the benefit of some dodgy decisions too, but his resume is much better than GGGs. None of them really deserve it.

Wlad was good, but he got beaten clearly twice. His best decade of fighting didn't line up with the calendar.

I think I'd have to say it should go to May. If not May, then Bud. Either one would be an okay outcome. Loma would also be okay, since he is clearly the best P4P current boxer, and is boxing elite. I'd put him third.

Anything else would be a bad decision.

Sadly, I can see Canelo winning it, the same way he won the first fight with GGG.

The thing is 2019 ain't finish yet, or are they planning a dead year?

What if Garcia beat Spence?
Basically dude will have win titles in 5 divisions during the decade which would be a solid case.

What if Crawford beat Spence (granted Spence beat Garcia) or Thurman in 2019?

What if lomo beat crolla then another solid win like a title at 140...

What if Canelo beat jacobs then kovalev as it seems to be planned?

What if usyk beat pov and Joshua in 2019?

What if GGG signs with dazn and beat Andrade and Canelo in September?
