Who's going be the next fighter of the decade 2010-20

Yea Canelo for sure!

 

I think it's one of these 4:

Wlad--8-0 (5 KO) so far. Says he can fight another 10 years. There doesn't appear to be a serious threat to him at this point. Say what you want about the quality of his opposition...if he ends the decade with a record of 20-0 (could even be more at the rate he's going), you almost have to give it to him for dominating the heavyweight division like that. There are a number of guys coming up who could be nice additions to his resume too.

Mayweather--Currently 5-0. Solid resume. May only fight 5 more times. The thing that would lock this up for Mayweather is the middleweight title, which is ripe for the taking (Cotto, Martinez, Alvarez). If he took it from GGG, even better. The Pacquiao event would be a cherry on top.

Hopkins--Currently 5-1-1. Wins the LHW title in 2011, then loses it. IF he can beat Stevenson this year, he'll have it back. If he can beat Kovalev next year and unify all the titles, he'll have broken about 30 records in 5 years. Not the prettiest resume, not the biggest names, but that's undeniable history.

Ward--If Ward goes up to LHW and strings together some victories (and beats GGG at 168 ), he can make a good case. Currently 6-0, 3 wins over current titleholders and one over the LHW champ (who beat Hopkins).

I currently have Mayweather on top, but if he continues at this rate (beating second rate guys and simply maintaining his status at 147-154), I think Wlad will pass him by doing the same at heavyweight for a longer timeframe (and not ducking anyone in the process). Hopkins can pass both of them by unifying LHW, because that is something that just can't be outdone given his age. Ward has a slim chance because he is not very active and has few options for big fights, but if Hopkins, Wlad, and Mayweather get knocked off...Ward is basically the man.

-Mayweather can lock it up with the middleweight title.
-Hopkins can lock it up with the LHW unification.
-Wlad can lock it up by being consistent if Hopkins and Mayweather fail the above.
-Ward is the default winner if all 3 of the other guys get beaten and he remains consistent.

Guys who can get there but haven't really started yet:

Wilder: If he is the goods and dethrones Wlad, I don't see him losing. And any American who brings home the heavyweight title will be FOTD by default. I'm not a fan yet but with the record and the size, there is potential for star power.

Stevenson/Kovalev: If one of these two can knock off Hopkins AND Ward, they'd have a great case.

GGG: If he can unify middleweight and beat Ward (and/or unify 168 ), he's in the running. A win over Alvarez would launch him way up the list as well.

Porter/Thurman: Both serious threats to Mayweather. If one of them can retire Mayweather, unify the division, and do some damage at 154 they'd be right up there. A series against one another wouldn't hurt either.

Rigondeaux: If he can shake of Arum, sack up and go to 126, he can make a case, especially with wins over Lomachenko and Santa Cruz/Frampton.

Lomachenko: Let's say he beats Russell for a title in his 3rd fight (or whatever), then puts together a reign of terror, beating Rigo, moving up to beat M. Garcia, and eventually to lightweight. Would be cool.

 

Could be. He has major potential.

 

yeah but that scaring the **** out of people style doesn't last forever. All these intimidating fighters come across that guy who ain't scared and has th skills to back it up, ward ggg will answer some questions about both men

 

If Ward can become more active he has a great shot

 

Shawn Porter will take over .

Lets just see how GGG will turn out . Because Im not completely sold with him .

 

we're now in the middle of the decade, who the hell has canelo beaten so far?

imo, the leading contender so far is bradley, one good fight behind is my countryman nonito donaire.

 

Alex Leapai, easily.

 

Guillermo Jones

 

Canelo has this year and 5 more after so chill, hes got time. Him beating Lara and beating Martinez or Cotto for MW crown would already put him top 5 this decade IMO.

Mayweather is ahead of bradley. Donaire is not close at all.

 

Mayweather took vacations and timeoffs instead if you think he is more deserving. Besides if he didn't, it would still be Pacquiao since Mayweather avoided WW when it was waxing hot.

 

Way too many variables to really predict with any sort of accuracy...

Wards' arrow is pointing down really fast. Besides, his best victory over Kessler happened in 2009 and thus doesn't count for the decade.

Nonito Donaire boasts a killer 2010-present resume. But seeing as he appears to be on the rapid decline, we will have to wait and see. Vetyeka could end that argument next month.

If Alvarez beats Lara, given his age and seemingly new found interest in fighting the best opponents out there, he would have to get a shout out as much as anybody else, really.

I'm a huge Ioka fan. His run scooping up Oleydong was in 2010, and he attempts to pick up his third title in a couple weeks. If he somehow continues to shoot up the divisions unbeaten and in style, who knows, he deserves a shout out as much as the next guy, too.

 

Donaire is probably top 5 of the decade right now.

 

Canelo.

GGG won't be in the sport for 10 more years. Maybe 7, or 8 tops.

 

Well, there's only another 5 and a half years left in the decade.... soooooo...?
