Is Bud nailed on for Fighter of the Decade?

Right now based on resume no, it's only 2023 and what can he really do to add to his legacy? Beat Jermell who I don't even rate as highly as Spence? Other than that Canelo at catch weight? I don't even think these fights will happen as PBC steers both of them away from Crawford.

We have Usyk who's about to beat Dubois and then maybe he beats Fury if that fight ever happens, not sure Crawford can do anything to surpass that.

Then we have Inoue who will likely unify 122 then move up and go up and demolish everyone at 126 and then he might even go higher than that.

We also have Shakur who's career at the elite level is only just beginning and I don't see anyone right now being able to beat him, not Tank, not Loma, not Haney or Lopez.

So no he's hardly nailed in for the best of the 2020's right now, in fact it's more likely he won't be if Shakur and Inoue do what I think they will do.

 

Usyk

 

He might well go on to win it, but is he a lock to win it for beating Spence? Not a chance, Spence is nothing special whatsoever

 

Tyson Fury is fighter of the decade

 

It seems unlikely Crawford or Usyk will receive that honor. They are both a bit long in the tooth and have only had a few fights this decade.

Of the current crop of stars I would say Naoya Inoue would have the best chance. Of the up and coming group of guys, perhaps Boots Ennis or David Morrell will become something special.

 

No. Usyk has the lead for that with Inoue on his heels.

 

For sure Bud has the chance for fighter of the decade not because of his resume but because he is an american. Floyd got gifted as the fighter ofvthe decade the last time even he was just active for half of the decade...

 

Who should have won?

 

Ryan Garcia.

 

Floyd won for having competed for only half the decade with his final fight being against an 0-0-0 MMA fighter.

 

Just fanboying for Bud.

His skills and Ring IQ is great.

I believe he could beat any boxer of this century P4P and would stop any WW from the last 23 years

 

Fighter of the Decade 2020 will be Inoue.
