    Do you agree with the list?

    If not exactly, do you agree that these 10 fighters should be in it, if not, who should take their place?

    i'm not agreeing with lennox lewis, he time was in the 90s, his spot should get wladimir klitschko.
    he is what something like 30-2
    and for the last 6 years unbeaten and the heavyweight champion koing everyone

    Calzaghe is on the outside looking in. It's no disrespect toward Joe so much as there were only 10 spots available and I thought there were more deserving fighters that should've been included.


    RJJ is there for winning the heavyweight title. It was a big accomplishment back in that day, he was still P4P # 1.

    IMPACT is the name of the game. Which fighters truely made an impact on the decade.

    Klitschko is my # 3 P4P:

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAlq4r9igYI[/ame]


    So no hate from me towards Wlad. It's just that as far as fighters of the decade go, there were too many others that made a bigger impact than he did.

    Lewis is there because well, when he was still around, HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING WAS STILL number one. He was part of one of the biggest selling fights vs Tyson of that decade.

    Oh and yeah, he is the last guy to give Vitali Klitschko a run for his money. Vitali hasn't lost a round since Lewis busted him up.

    Too many abysmal losses for RJJ post-2000 to be on this list.

    I'm sorry rjj got ko'd by taver johnson and green and lost wide decision to tarver and calzaghe ... he doesn't make it ... ricky hatton makes a stronger case than him in that time span ...

    Calzaghe atleast went undefeated beat hopkins lacy and kessler ... jones was washed already that was just as good as the bika win lol

    He is still 14-6 record wise. He was still P4P # 1 during that decade.

    How do you ignore that.

    Well I understand that. But as I said, he was still a big player in that decade. P4P # 1, holding the heavyweight and Light-heavyweight titles at the same time etc,.

    That's like if Pacquiao or Floyd got Ko'ed in 2012, I'd still put them in the Top 10 for the 2010-2020 Decade, just for being major players even though they got knocked off in the early part of this decade.

    I admit i'm slightly biased towards Calzaghe, I couldn't keep any of these great fighters out of the top 10 just to put him in, even though he is unbeaten. In my eyes he was largely absent from all the big things going on last decade. Most of his work was done in Europe against second rate WBO contenders. All this while Morales-Barrera were heating up the featherweight division with their triology and their fights against Pacquiao and Marquez.

    He was p4p#1 because of what he did the decade before ... he is goin to the hall of fame but not based on what he did in that time span .... ruiz was a great win .. woods was a good win .. everything else was decent ... his win over tarver is debatable .... its not that its that bad ... its just others have done better ...

    Oscar doesn't belong there either ... inactivity and his win over vargas is the only one that stands out ... I think he beat mosley the second time around but the books don't state that so I can't count it ... he beat who he was supposed to beat and lost his big fights

    Calzaghe did enough to be considered third behind Pacquaio and Mayweather in the 90s in my view.

    He got himself into the P4P rankings and was there for a number of years after Lacy and Kessler and is one of only two in the list to have defeated a P4P Top #3 fighter at the time they were in the rankings. (Floyd vs Marquez #2, Calzaghe vs Hopkins #3)

    How many of the guys in your list defeated undefeated title holders to unify a division? How many of them took every single belt including the Ring in their division? How many fought outside of their home country and still got the decision?

    Good video I see that you were running out of time towards the end and had to speed it up for Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    I expect Calzaghe fans to show objection to this video, but still nice job.
