    Weird list.

    It seems to rank great fighters, who briefly participated in boxing during this decade, above good fighters who were consistent for the whole period.

    Pac has only fought once at Welter ! Against Oscar who didn't have a belt. Slightly bizarre to put him at 3.

    I would agree with that. Woods had about 4 or 5 defences of his IBF title, whilst Calzaghe campaigned twice and defended the Ring title once.

    Povetkin is the 10th best heavyweight fighter of the decade.


    Why? i know he is a good prospect but for beating Eddie Chambers and Chris Byrd. No.
