Who deserves the #10 spot on my fighters of the decade list?

You never fail to disappoint.

If Michalczewski hadn't done most of his damage in the '90's, he might have an argument.

 

:deal

 

Just a quick question. I don't need a whole paragraph. Are you a wind up guy or is this your serious opinion?

 

id say Izzy Vazquez. Can someone explain why b hop is number 3 lol. he lost 2wice to jermain taylor FFS. how does that warrant a top 3 place. he also lost to Calzaghe who is 9.

 

Being undefeated means nothing if all you did was fight in your home country and receive shady decisions... Sven Ottke is a bad joke.

 

My own top 10 is thus (based purely on 2000-2010):


1.Manny Pacquiao

2.Bernard Hopkins

3.Floyd Mayweather Jr

4.Marco Antonio Barrera

5.Erik Morales

6.Shane Mosley

7.Juan Manuel Marquez

8.Winky Wright

9.Jose Luis Castillo

10.Joe Calzaghe


So my answer would be Joe Calzaghe for 10th.


For me Winky and JMM are well clear of Joe, and I have to rank JLC higher because I scored the 1st Floyd-JLC fight to JLC by 2 points. That gives him the edge over Calzaghe.

 

Without thinking about it too heavily... young Klitschko.

 

Whats not to be serious?
Calzaghe undefeated WBO 21 defences WBC WBA IBF Ring SMW champ and Ring LHW champ
Erdei undefeated WBO 11 defences before relinquishing and WBC CW champ also relinquished
Michalczewski went 48-0 WBO LHW champ 23 defences WBA IBF LHW champ beat Rocchgianni stripped of his WBC title and if you follow the original Ring title before it disappeared and reappeared giving a belt to Jones it should have gone to Michalczewski on the beat the man bases, meaning Erdei would be champ now.
Ottke 21 defences WBA & IBF champ outstanding achievement. Shady decisions? HE rematched Brewer and Tate, what more can a man do?
Girard fought on the tough Euro circuit and was a 2 weight champ giving Mitchell his first defeat and beating Del Valle.
Dzinziruk undefeated champ who is rated below Foreman who is rated for beating Santos a fighter Dzinziruk beat around 4 years earlier, weigh it up for yourself

 

hmmm


1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Bernard Hopkins - WTH? Most over rated past decade.
3. Floyd Mayweather - If FLoyd is here you have to move up JC.
4. Marco Antonio Barrera -
5. Erik Morales -
6. Juan Manuel Marquez - move Marquez up
7. Winky Wright - huh?
8. Shane Mosley - proven steroid use in major fights- remove
9. Joe Calzaghe - see FMjr comment. Especially when someone he beat is up there.


Besides personal opinion, what did you base decisions on?
One would need a clear and stringent scoring system. It would have to include negative points for not fighting a Marque fighter

 

Sven Ottke is no bad joke. 21 title defences WBA & IBF champ, winning first world title in his 13th fight beat
Brewer (twice)
Mitchell
Johnson
Butler
Tate (twice)
Larsen
Markussen
Reid
Starie
Krajnc
Mundine
Branco

Thats no joke, thats an outstanding SMW resume

 

He could fight outside his own ****ING country that is so GODDAMN known for being shady. Seriously, Ottke is a disgrace!

 

Why should he fight outside his own country? He was champ and drawing massive crowds at home. You travel to the champ normally.
Ottke fought Brewer and Tate twice, set the record straight.
What are you reffering to?

 

fighter of the decade - Pac
2nd - Floyd.
3rd - Calzaghe.

that is how the american boxing media saw it.

 

My List:

1) Floyd Mayweather Jr.
2) Manny Pacquiao
3) Bernard Hopkins
4) Shane Mosley
5) Erik Morales
6) Marco Antonio Barrera
7) Miguel Cotto
8) Vitali Klitschko
9) Joe Calzaghe
10) Wladimir Klitschko

 

Easy choice for me, give it to Chico. This Warrior was blood and guts.
