Blind Resumes FOTD

[DeeMoney]

So let me begin by writing that I KNOW that not all top 5 fighters are equal (ditto top 10), and I know most of you can just figure out who is who anyways, but I thought it would be fun to look at some blind resumes of fighters who are candidates for Fighter of he Decade.

Here was my process: looked at a fighters resume for strictly the 2010s, then I pared off any opponent past their prime- for the sake of argument I went with anyone 35 or older; while primes all take place at different ages I felt this was a safe number in that pretty much everyone is past prime by then. Next I looked at where their opponent ranked in Ring’s end of year top 10 by weight class (not perfect, and everyone’s list is different but it is an industry standard) for the year before and the year of the fight. Please note I looked at their ranking only in the weight where the fight took place.

Below is the list of fighters with their names erased, they have their wins vs top 5 opponents (with total fights vs top 5 listed parenthetically afterwards) then the same for fights vs top 10 opponents; so it reads Fighter- Wins(Total fights). Based on what you see below who do you think has the best resume over the past decade?

Fighter…………Top 5…………Top 10
Fighter A……….2 (2)…………..3 (3)
Fighter B……….5 (6)…………..6 (7)
Fighter C……….5 (5)…………..8 (8)
Fighter D……….3 (5)…………..4 (6)
Fighter E……….6 (7)……………8 (9)
Fighter F……….6 (7)……….…..7 (8)
Fighter G………..4 (4)………….6 (6)
Fighter H……….4 (6)…………..8 (10)
Fighter I...........3 (3)…………..6 (6)

Smart. But you ain't gonna get any of these fangirls to bite.

Name Games are more funner -

Top 3 FOTD Candidates '10-'19 Resumes

* = Quality Opponent (when they fought)
X = Robbery (not debatable)
L = Lost
? = Close

Pac (16 fights) official record 12-4 (1 ko); 1 ko.
Thurman*, Broner, Matthysse, Horn XL, Vargas, Bradley 3, May* L, Algieri, Bradley 2, Rios, JMM* 4L, Bradley 1 XL, JMM* 3 MD?, Mosley, Margarito, Clottey

A busy, if not utterly unremarkable, decade for Pac.
3 threats -
1 clear win
2 clear losses
2 clear robberies

Pac has fan friendly style and is very likable.
On quality, not the stuff awards are handed out for.

Wilder (33 fights !!!! I'm not listing all of those guys)
Ortiz, Fury, maybe Bermane ?!?!?
Only ''blemish'' is the Fury fight.

Wilder has an entertaining style but not very popular.

Nelo (24 fights)
Jacobs*, Fielding, GGG 2*, GGG 1* D?, JCC jr, Smith, Con, Cotto*, Kirkland, Lara*, Angulo, May* L, Trout*, Lopez, Mosley, Cintron, Gomez, Rhodes, M Hatton, several other no hopers

Also has a very fan friendly style. Only ''blemish'' is the L May gave him. The tainted Mexican beef situation isn't a blemish, imho, because it was much ado over nothing.

Nelo's decade is clearly superior to all other FOTD candidates....if a person is being honest.

Pac's win over Thurman is nice but he had a string of soft touches prior to and Thurman was pretty inactive.
