Ha did not read 'decade'....fucked me up when I saw Lewis at the top.

sg85 · 02-03-2010, 05:24 AM

That heavyweight list makes truely depressing reading.

Mazallan · 02-03-2010, 05:29 AM

Woods should be above Calzaghe at light heavy.

KERRZO · 02-03-2010, 06:28 AM

Good to see Scott Harrison's boxing ability being remembered!!!

robpalmer135 · 02-03-2010, 06:35 AM

hammed should be higher at feather. surley Peter should be in the top 10 at heavy

whuiron · 02-03-2010, 06:41 AM

3 brits at number one

El Cepillo · 02-03-2010, 07:22 AM

Weird list.

It seems to rank great fighters, who briefly participated in boxing during this decade, above good fighters who were consistent for the whole period.

trotter · 02-03-2010, 07:26 AM

Pac has only fought once at Welter ! Against Oscar who didn't have a belt. Slightly bizarre to put him at 3.

I would agree with that. Woods had about 4 or 5 defences of his IBF title, whilst Calzaghe campaigned twice and defended the Ring title once.

joeh2701 · 02-03-2010, 08:02 AM

Povetkin is the 10th best heavyweight fighter of the decade.

Why? i know he is a good prospect but for beating Eddie Chambers and Chris Byrd. No.

De La Hoya and Cotto were at Welterweight.

trotter · 02-03-2010, 08:09 AM

Cotto was at a catchweight of 145.
