I'm mostly a Heavyweight fan, but the little giants have done well to carry Boxing in the public esteem for the past decade.
Wow this thread gives me but a mere glimpse into the Great ******* Invasion of 2009. Floyd Mayweather Jr was the correct answer. Also the decade ended in 2009.
Pac / Floyd. Pac's resume is very impressive, but he'll never be seen as a flawless, undefeated fighter like Mayweather. Pac has a much better resume, but Floyd's skills will always be mentioned. Impossible just to pick one for the last decade. Hopkins is #3.
pac achived much more with less. bhop was a timeless warrior. floyd could have achieved more with his talent but didn't.
People are going to say Pac because of the belts he collected. But anyone who's been watching boxing longer than 4 years knows that's hyped bull****. Even still... Floyd was too inactive to give it to him. So Paquiao by default.
Floyd faked his retirement for two years to duck young prime Cotto, Mosley and Margarito plus he only fight once a year
