Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley: Canelo is Fighter of Decade, Not Mayweather!

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Hall of Fame fighter "Sugar" Shane Mosley fought three out of the five nominees for the fighter of the decade (2010-2019), as decided by the Boxing Writers Association of America. Mosley lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2010, Manny Pacquiao in 2011 and Canelo Alvarez in 2012 - all by unanimous decision - and although the popular pick appears to be Mayweather Jr., Mosley said the honor should go to Alvarez - even though the Mexican star lost his only pro bout to Mayweather in 2013.

I think a lot of posters agree with Shane. I am not surprised he would vote for Canelo. You expect a former partner in GBP and a fighter that tested positive for PED's would cast his vote for GBP's #1 fighter that also tested positive for PED's.

Alvarez had a hell of a decade. It’s either him or Floyd. Personally I think beating two of the top candidates for FOTD in the same decade that they are candidates makes you FOTD. But listening to Shane here I can totally respect his perspective. Anyone who says it’s not Floyd or Canelo is smoking crack or a nut rider.

Based on what?

He got schooled by Floyd and got gifts against GGG. Arguably lost to Lara too. He was caught dirty too...

I don�t really think there�s any standout choice for the fictitious award. Floyd only fought for half of it, so it�s hard to say him, but the list of fighters from 2010 to 2015 are impressive, so i�d say he could deserve it. But Canelo can�t be when his best wins are gifts and he�s a drugs cheat.

GGG probably would be, if he never got robbed. It�s funny how robberies soon get swept under the carpet and passed off as real wins, but that�s boxing. Maybe Ward would�ve been, if he was more active and had more fights.

Canelo has won a belt in 4 different divisions but has never proved he was the best in any of them.

Shane's taken too many punches to the head.

Mayweather hasn't really fought in 5 years.

I have to agree with Shane, Canelo is fighter of the decade.

It would either have to be Canelo or Pacquiao.
