    Not to mention that Tszyu was fighting about once a year and retired right after his loss to Hatton which means he was past his prime!

    but this thread is about 2001 onwards

    i think mayweather has more ability than pacquios he beat gatti at 140 right to be 140 champ, but would you have him as the best 140 pounder, basically you ahve to look at the accomplishments to say who is the best in decades not just ability wise

    What exactly are you trying to get at? KT had six wins(including the victory over Judah) after 2001 that's 5 more than Pac at 140 so that rates KT higher than Pac in my books!

    It's really quite simple!

    i put a lot premium on ability...so i would say that lennox is the best HW this decade despite winning one three fights

    Great counterpunchers with very good chins and stamina. See Juan Manuel Marquez and Floyd Mayweather Jr. :good

    but pacquiao remained competitive in that fight...as of now, there is no blueprint on how to dominate him

    I voted Pac, thought about it and that was a bit silly. In terms of greatness its Kostya followed by Hatton, H2H its Kostya, PBF, Pac.
