    How is Ward leading this poll? He won the super 6 but resume wise it isn't that special. Froch is his best win great win take nothing away from that. Kessler was past it, Dawson was drained as ****, Abraham, Bika good wins nothing special. In terms of resume Froch's is better Ward a better fight but Froch has the better resume. Bradley would have to be a serious contender Alexander, Provo, JMM, Holt some really great wins. I don't count Pacquiao because that was a robbery every knows that. Roman Gonzalez should win this and were he not a low weight fighter he'd be in peoples top 5 p4p, the fact he is not even in most p4p rankings iis a disgrace. Wins over Takayama, Estrada, Salado, Vargas, Rodriguez Jr, he has one of the strongest resumes in all boxing IMO and one of the very best fighters, if he wins his next fight he'll be a 3 weight world champion and been "the man" at every weight. Should he win he's in my top 5 p4p

    Actually no i'll go with Bradley, that resume is amazing Alexander, Holt, Peterson, Casamayor. Also wins over JMM, Provodnikov, Vazquez, Abregu is a really good win a very underrated one.

    Speaking of underrated Argie wins, I don't think Donaire gets the credit he deserves for Narvaez, either. The more I think about it, the more I'd have to narrow my two finalists down to Donaire and Bradley.

    I don't consider Bradley wiith the young guns though, nor do I consider Ward with the young guns.

    On this list though. Ward and Tim

    Roman Gonzalez is a P4P fighter only reason I didn't include him is because I don't know enough about FlyW I really just know him down there, Froch was also considered but he's closer to 40 than he is to being a younger fighters both have good resumes.

    Its tough....

    We going by 'people fought' or 'people beat'.


    If just resume in terms of who they have signed to fight (which matters), hard to go against Tim Bradley. Pac x2, JMM, Ruslan, Alexander, Peterson, ect.


    If we go by just wins alone and the weight of those wins.... Ward, Froch and Danny G enter the mix for sure and I could see someone picking them.

    Hard to go against Bradley though.




    Real quick, just popped into my head but Maidana isnt a bad shout either.

    Hes fought Mayweather, Khan, Ortiz, Devon, ect.... not too shabby.



    Mares.... has fought Perez, Vic, Agbeko, Ponce, Gonz,

    Good call on Mares, Santa Cruz also deserves a nod, as far as just fighters fought regardless of result Maidana is up there too he's had a tough schedule and done pretty good.

    Thinking about it a little harder I might have to go with my boy The Flash out of this newer crop of fighters he has the most division titles FlyW-FW most title fight wins 11-1 and most current/former champ beaten 12-1 only real loss is to Rigo who may very well be on a list like this in a few years.

    Honestly if Donaire gets the 7/8 division titles he's shooting for which would end him at LW/JWW he'll probably be a top candidate for Fighter of the Decade for 2011-2020 4/5 of his titles have come after 2010.

    Donaire, Ward, and Bradley are at the tops.

    Everyone else in this particular conversation is, in my opinion, clearly below them.

    Based on the fighters in the OP, I assume guys like Mayweather, Pac, Hopkins, Jones Jr, Wonjongkam, Wladimir, etc. are off limits...
