Who has been the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE 2000-2010?

i see alot of FMJ fans voting without leaving any reasons, i wonder whys that?

 

pac bhop floyd.

 

Hopkins easily :deal

 

lost to taylor not once but twice:deal

 

i rather have it 2001-2010

 

Still Bernard Hopkins, but Pac is closing up. He needs Mayweather to tie or slightly surpass Bernard.

Hopkins still has a really, really underrated resume, mainly because he's not the flashy, awesome crowd pleaser warrior type of fighter, but someone who's excellence is in his skills, mostly defensive. He doesn't have a large fanbase, hardly got any kind of ATG hype like Roy did, didn't make experts and historians fall in love with him and turn out biased, another thing happened with Roy.

Still, he's ahead of PacMan at the moment, and obviously ahead of Mayweather.

2001: TKOs P4P#2 Tito for undisputed MW championship, serious underdog, performance of the decade, becomes P4P king until Jones-Ruiz
2004: KOs P4P #4 Oscar for all 4 MW belts for first time in history, only clean knockout loss of Oscar
2004: becomes P4P king for 2nd time after Jones-Tarver II
2005: turns 40, still P4P king, makes 21th successful defense
2005: loses 2 debated decisions vs. top MW contender Taylor
2006: 41, schools P4P-er Tarver, serious underdog, picks up The Ring LHW championship
2007: 42, beats P4P#2 Winky
2008: 43, loses close/debated decision to P4P#2 Calzaghe, schools P4P#5, 17 years younger Pavlik

Hopkins' resume keeps getting better and better with time. Still there are many who disrespect his achievements, but you can't argue with his run and performances, which in this decade is clearly stronger than Floyd's or PacMan's, although he suffered 3 (debated) losses, while Floyd remained unbeaten (with debated win over Castillo) and PacMan lost only once (close but not debated UD to Morales), debated fights vs. Juan Manuel Marquez.

PacMan needs Mosley's (WW champion) or Mayweather's (retired P4P king) scalp, but that should be enough if Bernard calls it a day or fights Froch, who is not the same caliber, lol. But fighting Adamek would be different, he's a borderline P4P-er and The Ring CW World Champion, and Hopkins is 44.

 

pacman already had a hof career after the 2nd barrera fight. but now he has fought in 4 weight classes in the last 15 months against world champs hofs and won them all. and some in devastating fashion.

 

a pre-prime pacquiao(underdog) beating a prime ATG means a lot...:deal

does this happened before?

 

pac
hopkins
pbf

 

You think if Pac beats Mayweather, he will only SLIGHTLY surpass Hopkins ?

I have Pac & Floyd both ahead of Hops just NOW, the winner of Pac-Floyd will rightly be the FOTD. Im not even sure Hop would be 3rd to tell you the truth tho I wouldnt strongly argue it either but he`s not ahead of Floyd or Pac, no way.

:nono

 

It's a pacslide!

 

Pacquaio without a doubt.

I'm not a boxing historian by any means but when I see some of the names in a top 100 he has to be in a top 30 or 40 now surely?

 

b-hop 2nd???????:rofl:rofl

 

1. Pac
2. B-Hop
3. JMM
