    50's - SRR
    60's - Ali
    70's - Duran
    80's - Leonard
    90's - Hmmm, I'll go for Pea over RJJ.
    00's - I'm going to go against the grain and go for B-Hop. I think he edges Pac in top level longevity and although it should really be PBF, I can't give it to him due to the lack of depth in his resume.

    00's debatable... pac is slightly ahead..
    but if pac < cotto, pbf > jmm --> then it's pbf for 00'
    if pbf < jmm, pac > cotto ---> pac
    if they both lose... then it's bhop lol

    it will make it crystal clear if they fight on 2010

    i think we can say that this list will be pretty unanimous. only interchange pacman with mayweather for many.

    Floyd has fought tougher comp than Pac, and PAc has lost 3 fights, 1 between 2000-2010. You can not have Emmanuel Dapidran ranked higher than Floyd unless you like him more because the math will not add up using the 3 Mexican greats that E-Dap has beaten because he has not dominated or won convincingly against all of them, and th rest of his comp is subpar compared to Floyd's.

    You don't have to be a Floydette or ******* to see who has been the best fighter of the decade since 2000.
