    2000-2009 Manny Pacquiao
    1990-1999 Roy Jones Jr
    1980-1989 Mike Tyson

    I was born in 81 so I might be wrong about Tyson. My mom always liked Sugar Ray Leonard better but we're from DC so she was probably biased. Tyson was 100% the reason I love boxing so he gets my vote.

    What does ESB think?

    So you are saying that 1980 is NOT a part of the 80's

    Technically a decade starts with the 1, not 0. There's no year 0, it started with year 1. Just saying.

    I don't know who is, but I know who isn't . Jones and Mayweather aren't fighters of the decade . Avoiding their biggest potential challenges disqualify them from all consideration.

    Spot on sir!

    Only thing I was change is RJJ as the fighter of the 90s. But I won't argue too much about Sweatpea being given the nod aste two are very interchangeable IMO
