    List who you consider to be the 10 best fighters in a single weight class this decade, and compare it to a list of the shittest equivalent 10 best fighters in that single weight class from a previous decade and see if you can make a claim that boxing isn't declining.

    Take Cotto, very good fighter who won a close fight with Shane Mosley, that tells me Shane would definitely beat him in his prime.
