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

Yes he was past it, fight was definitely taken on Judahs slide, but he showed up for the Cotto fight, which is more than I can say for Hamed who wasnt even a six round fighter when he fought Barrera. He took the path to least resistance out of that fight.

 

Especially Vasquez

 

Yes it would, twice a day, you idiot.

 

Looking at the names on this thread it's clear to see it hasn't been a particularly strong decade.

 

Its greatness but its also p4p because ALL fighters from ALL divisions are up for consideration.

The Klits dominated a terrible division which means the names on their records are not as good as the names on A LOT of fighters records & when you compare their skillset to anyone on my list, they fail miserably.... either way, they dont make the cut, they would struggle badly to make a top 10 never mind top 5, so please, stop talking wet.

 

Wayne McCullough had the best chin p4p in the boxing world & Naz used his skills to keep him at bay & bag about 10 rds en route to a UD.

 

I acknowledged his chin on the previous page, but he was hardly a serious physical presence at 126. Mcullough had no power certainly not enough to force the issue on Hamed. As said one of Hameds best wins though.

 

Style preference. Hence his love for Ali, Floyd, and Roy Jones Jr. Not that that is a bad thing, but it explains why.

 

His favorite fighter is Erik Morales.

 

Always exceptions. Out of curiosity, is Bill of Mexican descent? That could explain that too I guess...

 

Nah, me and Bill are British Mexicans.

 

By getting the dog**** beat out of him?

 

1.Pacquiao
2.Hopkins
3.Mayweather
4.Mosley
5.Morales

 

No by actually trying to win! The fight with Hamed was over in the first minute when Barrera nailed Hamed with that lefthook. Hamed never threw another combination the entire fight, just did enough to keep Barrera off of him and go home with a black eye.
