    Damn I don’t think the bar has ever been this low for FOTD.. Nobody on this list has PAC level of victories and I thought Floyd shoulda won for the 2000s..

    Floyd or Ward. Probably a slight edge to Ward.

    Decade means a period of 10 years.
    Some of your selections are just few years back.

    I don't think Klitschko, Pacquiao or Hopkins should be on that list

    Not even being a fan but the correct answer is Canelo Alvarez based on resume, accomplishments, and depth of champions and contenders.
    From 2012 on up dudes resume on a fight by fight basis is top flight
    2012- best Mosley who was old but for a guy who was like 19 at the time is a step up, Lopez after he upset and beatdown Ortiz who was being set up to fight Saul
    2013- Best undefeated Trout in a unification, then lost to Mayweather at 152
    2014 fought Angulo and Lara who were two of the best JMWs coming off a close fight with each other
    2015- fought Kirkland and Cotto who was lineal
    2016- fought Khan which was eh and Smith who was a JMW champ
    2017-fought Chavez jr at SMW then fought GGG in a highly anticipated match for the unified titles
    2018- fought a rematch with GGG and then moved up to destroy SMW titlist in Fielding
    2019 his first fight is Jacob's to try and unify 3 MW titles, should he get through that its possibly GGG III or Andrade for undisputed people can hate on Canelo but dude is a bad ass i just named 15 fights from 2012 to now
    In that 15
    He fought 9 current Champs(Trout(WBA titlist),Mayweather(WBA Champ),Lara(WBA Champ),Cotto(WBC/Lineal MW Champ),Smith(IBF Champ),GGG 2x(WBC,WBA Champ) Fielding(WBA Titlist), Jacobs(IBF Champ)

    Has fought the number 1 rated fight 6 times (Trout #1 JMW, Mayweather #1JMW, Lara #1JMW, Cotto #1MW, GGG 2x #1 MW
    And out of the 9 fighters who weren't number 1 only two were ranked outside the top 10 in Chavez jr, and Mosley
    Lopez was top 10 WW, Kirkland was a top 10 JMW, Angulo was top 5 at JMW, Smith top 10 JMW, Khan top 10 WW, Feilding top 10 SMW, Jacob's top 3 MW
    At 154 he won WBC title, WBA title, and IBF title at 160 he's currently the Lineal/Unified WBC/WBA MW Champ
    And is a WBA Titlist at 168.
    Close fights happen when your facing good comp but overall dude can't be touched.

    Exactly. But you used that example as to why it would push Floyd over the top.

    I thought you knew boxing?

    It's Floyd and it's not close, he also was the 2000's FOTY.
