    Yeah, drug up a Lw and didn't even make weight :lol:

    You have no shame if you think fighters who cheat on the scales deserve to have a win called "good". REAL boxing fans wouldn't put up with that crap. But it's supa cool to you. :lol:

    Yeah he didn't make weight he paid him and outboxed him to a shut out win. PBF beat JMM with skill he didn't bully JMM. There's a reason why JMM was willing to fight Pac 4 times but not want to rematch PBF despite a career high payday and a shot at redemption.:deal:

    :lol: Pimp...he did all that OVER the agreed upon limit, which he didn't even attempt to make. Are you such a Floydstan you can't even say what Floyd did was wrong!?! You are a boxer fan.. not a boxing fan.

    I never said it was honorable he thought he could make the weight but couldn't. He was coming off a long layoff and didn't make the weight but at the end of the day it was unprofessional if you agree to fight at a certain weight you should make it.

    His layoff had nothng to do with not making weight. That was an intentional choice to come in MUCH larger than JMM.

    BUT... props for at least admitting that.

    OK Lets look at your two contenders for Fighter of the decade 2011- 2020

    1.... Floyd Mayweather jr
    Floyd fought precisely 8 Thats EIGHT!! times against legitimate professional boxers & once against Conor McGregor an MMA fighter making his prop boxing debut. He hasnt fought a legitimate boxing match since 2015
    2 .... Andre Ward
    Ward fought precisely 9 Thats NINE!! times against professional fighters
    in that 10 year period 5 of those were journeymen fighters NOT legitimate contenders. His last two fights were against Sergey Kovalev. The first he arguably lost the second was the most foul filled display since the days of Golota where he should have been DQ'd & NOT awarded a TKO victory. This was in 2017 over 4 yrs ago
    How on earth can you call either of these two Fighter of the Decade & not be called the laughing stock of professional sports?????
    C'mon guys a joke is a joke **** a pantomime

    Picked Mayweather like everyone else, Andre Ward almost there he has a strong case for people who like indomitable personalities.

    Mayweather gave the folks ringside Ginger Ale for 12 rounds, Canelo will always be behind Mayweather...Unless he some how lures him into the ring anytime in his life. That will be an ATG high value Cherry Pick

    Of the three mentioned, Canelo is leagues ahead of the other two in terms of his resume for the period 2010 - 2019.

    Floyd is overall, the greatest of the three at this stage and will probably still be when all three are retired.

    However, the distinction is for the recent decade, and he didn't do enough ( nine legit bouts, all at 147, no legit KOs) to dominate the decade.

    Canelo and Ward shouldn’t even be nominations.

    Obviously u need to do some research. Pac is the catch weight king. De La Hoya, Cotto, Margarito, Clottey just to name a few.
