Who were the top five fighters of this decade, 2000-2009?

You've all ran into a brick wall in the form of LeftHook. Every post of his seems to be littered with silly **** and yet he goes on and on, and disputes everything and anything. He'll retire undefeated.

 

Neither have ever been close to being my favourite fighters but quality wise, they certainly make my list, you cant deny their talent.

Your right about Ali tho, I do love that guy + he was a phenomenal fighter too, especially in his prime :good

 

100% Scottish, all the way back to the days of 1210 my friend, I have never rooted for a fighter because of where they are from, I thought Morales was amazing to watch & a brilliant fighter too in a technical sense.... better than any Brit of my era by some distance, no doubt.

 

:good You need to go check out Orlando Canizales. You'll thank me afterwards.

 

Exactly. That's why I was doubting whether he had seen the fight. This is how I seen it:

But that moron has been suggesting that Barrera was marching forward the whole night and Hamed was running and hiding. I honestly don't think he has seen it, because how could anyone (even a notorious idiot) view that fight like that?? :nut

 

Better than Lennox Lewis? Debatable. I would probably go with Erik, but it's a close call considering Lewis was the best and most dominant heavyweight of a decent era (compared to now). Definitely far better than the Calzaghes and Hameds and Hattons though.

 

I don't think I've ever seen the guy avoid utter defeat in any and every thread he posts in. His stunningly low level of intelligence is a breath of foul air on this forum.

 

Neither does he, he's just a keyboard warrior with an erection that can only be satiated by long, drawn-out arguments that he never wins.

 

Was Lewis really British though? I know he didn't represent us in the Olympics. :verysad

 

Yes, he was British.

 

Nothing at all debateable, p4p, record (resume), skillset, whatever way you want to go, Morales has Lewis beat.

I know you are almost definitely gonna question the `resume` thing so I`ll get this in now.... Lewis top wins were Tyson (shot), Holyfield (past prime) & Vitali (prime)...... Morales were Barrera (peak) & Pacquiao (prime) as well as continually fighting in the toughest weight classes in boxing from 122-130 becoming at one point the no1 in each of those classes... he ranks up with Gomez at SBW too, an ATG for sure at that weight.

He was never decisively defeated until clearly past his best either... we know all about Lennox in that regard.

 

Why did he represent Canada in the Olympics?

 

Not being rude mate, but this isn't a point I am remotely interested in debating. I can't think of anything more irrelevant or dull to do with my day. He was British. If you disagree, fair do's.

 

:huh I was asking because I'm confused.

 

I actually wasn't going to bring up resume mate, I think Morales has Lewis beat in that regard, that's why I said I'd probably go with Morales. I do think there is a legitimate counterargument though. I wouldn't be surprised or appalled if some people had Lewis higher. I did so in the past myself.
