Is Bud nailed on for Fighter of the Decade?

Nah. Usyk or Inoue.

 

Could be.

 

I doubt it, he's 35 and much of his legacy was in the 2010s. It'll likely be someone who is up and coming and has his best years still to come.

 

If he dominates for 3-4 years and picks up significant wins in the meantime, sure. But I think it may only be one, or at best 2, legacy fights and then retirement.

 

Yeah, One more big win and he's right up there with the greats at 147. I'd love to see him and Napoles, Quartey, Oskee, Mosley, Gavlan, Whitaker etc.

 

Real early for that but I imagine Inoue is favorite for FOTD as he's only, what, 28? Crawford and Usyk are 35-36 years old.

What Inoue is doing is unbelievable. I have Crawford 1a to Inoue 1b but theyre basically equal in my mind.

 

Decade ? more like a century

 

For beating Spence? Not a chance

 

It could go a number of ways. Inoue has age on his side. Fury could beat AJ and Usyk and coupled with the Wilder wins makes for a very solid resume

 

Fury could beat everyone in the HW division, he can never be fighter of the decade. He's like a Welterweight fighting against lightweights

 

He isn't even up for consideration.

 

Would be nice see see a guy win Fighter of the Decade who fights more than he does, or Wilder, or Spence. Got to take the pandemic into consideration when evaluating the 2020's. Give Canelo some credit for usually fight twice (gasp!) a year. There are no Harry Grebs around these days, although Helenius tried that this month and look what happened to him.
