Re: Who will be seen as the greatest fighter between 2001-2010
You guys know I ain't no PBF Fan....
But I think as of today right now PBFs miles ahead of everyone.
I think the closest ones would be fighters like Pac, Cotto, Wladdy, Kessler, Joe, Pavlik and others who are having a good run but still need more to maybe even content against PBF.

Lol, that cracked me up mate. Have a CC....and tell Pavlik to lay off those donuts....he's got a lot of weight to strip off. :p
Lol, CC back Super. I'll tell him if I see him, if there's anything left to see of him ;D
haha come on guys quit busting my balls. i was just saying if he moves up to lightheavyweight or even heavyweight, he could be that good to be undisputed at those weights too. Like I said pavlik imo is a legend in the making.
:coolclick: to both of you though, that thought of pavlik as flyweight champ is funny ;D
Pavlik undisputed champion at Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight? Talk about overrating a fighter. Some of these groupies really have little to no boxing knowledge at all. Use your fucking head. Pavlik-Chad Dawson. Pavlik-Jean Marc Mormeck. Pavlik-Wladimir Klitschko. Who in there right mind would even think Pavlik can beat those guys?

Super Middleweight, tops. If even that. Pavlik has good power with an average chin. At Light Heavyweight and above his ass gets murdered.

well thats just your opinion, the guy is big and strong. I'm just looking forward to his career and staying positive he can be one of the greatest. He sure has the guts and mentally, as he has showed already.

The idea that Kelly Pavlik could be undisputed heavyweight champion is absolutely hilarious. The top heavyweights nowadays weigh about 240-250 pounds.

Yeah I agree. He could possibly go to lightheavy but no way any higher. Super is where he'll end up and he'll get tested there. His frame is really thin and scrawny, no way he can put on the mass to go cruiser or heavy, and his metablism is probably very high too where he'd have to consume way too much food. It is kind of stretching things a bit Julius Rain. :-\

yea maybe so, but are the heavyweights looking any better nowadays? they do average like what 240 but out of shape and inconsistant. who knows maybe the heavyweights get worst and pavlik gets bigger and stronger. As of now it does seem farfetch but it does not have to happen pavlik can just be a great fighter at supermiddleweight.

I actually agree that Haye can be P4P one day. But heres my thoughts on your comment.
Well eagle to be fair 'The Cat' was no slump when they met he was past his best days but look what he did to close out his career. Also 'The Cat' can punch and hes know for devastating KO's and a big heart.
Haye was young when he met 'The Cat' and I think he's people wanted to see where Haye stood at just 10 fights.
Well they got their answer they found out 'The Cat' still had a life left and threw in the towel and got Haye out of there before he took more punishment.
Look at some of the fighters 'The Cat' beat in his last run: Rothman & Haye both at that time were considered top prospects and while I think 'The Cat' did damage Rothman, Haye is another story I think walking away with a loss is better then walking away with a damaged career. Haye learned a lot in that fight against 'The Cat' as well as he has learned in fights with Mock and Abdoul where he visited the canvas in one of the fights and he had to win a decision in the other and learned that you can't KO everybody.

Re: Who will be seen as the greatest fighter between 2001-2010
For Haye to be P4P he'll have to unify the Cruiserweight and Heavyweight divisions. Good luck with that. He might have the punch to do it. But I doubt he has the chin or stamina to do it.

I think the one worry I have about Haye is his stamina. His only 12-rounder was at a very slow pace, and put me off him for a while, especially in a fight where I thought Haye could have gone out and KO'd his man if he really stepped on the gas. As for chin, he proved a lot of that last time out, where he did ship a couple of big punches, and looked in a bit of bother, but pulled through to win well, getting cut for the first time in his career in the process.
The punch is his biggest asset at the moment, and we'll see against Mormeck whether he can use it intelligently as well as just banging people out of his path.

Believe it or not, I actually like Haye. I think he's a good fighter. He really impressed me in his last fight when he destroyed the usually durable Tomasz Bonin in one round. I'm picking against him when he fights Mormeck. But that's based on the fact that it's a Cruiserweight fight. Haye fought at over 230 pounds in his last fight. Now he's suppose to come all the way down to 200? I can't see him doing that without it having some kind of affect on him

Re: Who will be seen as the greatest fighter between 2001-2010
2010 is a long way from now especially in boxing years. If you were to decide today it would more then likely go to Floyd Mayweather but then again we are talking a whole decade. From now until then I think a few more names will be on the list and a few taken off. Juan Manuel Marquez is a name we might see.
It also depends on who you ask and what they determine as greatest. I am suprised Oscar De La Hoya is not on the list. He has lost some of his last big fights but then again who has had more big fights then Oscar? A very hard question to answer.

Tho I don't agree that ODLH should be listed.
The titles in different divisions must hold some type of weight right?

But in the 2001-2010 timeframe that we're discussing... Oscar has only won titles at 154 and 160, and the 160 title wasn't a real title. Hopkins was the real champ, DLH won a cheap belt in a fight many people thought he lost.
Oscar's multiple titles occurred in the 90s for the most part.

I see your point SweetPea.....
With that said then you'd also have to cut off more then half of the 1st part of PBFs career which include big wins as a SuperFeather and a title there.

Re: Who will be seen as the greatest fighter between 2001-2010
I think Paul Williams cleans out the 147 and 154 divisions. His physical advantages and unusual style will just be too much at those weights. He will be in the discussion for best of the decade if he does that.

Love Pavlik.....One of the best stories in a long time and He will benefit the sport big time.Its all subjective but the comparisons are transparent IMO.
Pavlik is a walk you down two fisted assailant ,wears his heart on his sleeve.While hes at top of division he'll be a serious force and threat that can/will beat the best....so lets just wait and see what Pavlik has YET to do as opposed to what Hopkins Has Already DONE.

That is very true. Thats is why I said it depends on who's list. Some people consider a guy who has a 40-0 record lets say with only 2 or 3 big fights on it a great fighter. Some might consider a guy like Oscar who has lost most of his last fights but because he has been in the big fights running with the head of the pack for so long. Like Nascar you don't have to win all the races to win the season. Everyone looks at things different.
As I said at first 2010 is a long way away, we have all seen guys go from top of the food chain to the bottom in just a few bouts and vice versa. This is a crazy sport the way that works. It is kind of like the pound for pound list that are always argued about. Opinion on what makes a fighter great varies so much.
Does a fighter who had a great 2001-2006 then retire after winning 4 or 5 world titles get the same consideration as the guy who has a great 2006-2010? This sport has a very short memory in terms of accomplishment. How many times have we seen a fighter go unappreciated until 10 or 20 years after retirement then suddenly he is an all time great.
I used Oscar De La Hoya because he has steadily been one of the sports most constant big fight names win or lose. It is to early to tell what can happen between now and 2010. For me at least

i don't think anyone is dumping pac ??? i'm just not one of those pacfans who always talks about pac. if you read my past post about the pac mab rematch, you will see i stated that pac beat mab in a technical match and he beat him more convincingly then jmm did.
back to pavlik though, yes his a boxer and a hella of a fighter too.

Re: Who will be seen as the greatest fighter between 2001-2010
Come on CUTMEMICK, tho i admire u as a great poster, and i understand what u mean about THE CAT i find it hard to believe that Haye will ever be p4p number 1. As VD said he'd have to unify cruiser and HW, and as lon as big Wladdy is around that aint gonna happen. I think Mormeck might even beat him. So yes it is possible Haye will be P4P number 1 but the odds are probably 500 to 1, and there is no way he'll be the seen as the greatest fighter of this decade. So there was no point mentioning him in this thread.
CC for sharing your thoughts rather than just SCing me like most do these days.

Oscar's multiple titles occurred in the 90s for the most part.
I see your point SweetPea.....
With that said then you'd also have to cut off more then half of the 1st part of PBFs career which include big wins as a SuperFeather and a title there.
Floyds biggest win as SFW IMO was against Corrales (33-0!), and that was in 2001. Which is also to say that Floyd has won (or at least defended) all his titles within the 2001-2010 timeframe.
One thing that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is that Floyds age fits this timeframe perfectly. He was 24 in 2001, 34 in 2010 - basically in his prime throughout the whole decade. Pavlik, for one, doesnt have this advantage (and will not have it in the next decade either). JMM, Morales, Barrera, Mosley, Calzaghe (to mention a few possible names) might all be past it by 2010, while Cotto didn't debut until 2001.
Pacquaio basically has the same age as Floyd, and he seems like the only real competitor for PBF's title in this regard. Although PBF in my view is head and shoulders ahead.

Oscar has only won one big fight all decade, which was his win over Vargas. What has he done to be worthy of Fighter of the Decade status?
Tho I don't agree that ODLH should be listed.
The titles in different divisions must hold some type of weight right?

True, his wins against Genaro Hernandez, Manfredy, etc... they were before '01.
But by far his biggest win at 130 was the fight against Diego Corrales, and that occurred in January of 2001. So that stills counts, as well as all his fights since then at 135, 140, 147, and the Oscar fight at 154.

Ya, it's definitely a two-horse race right now between Floyd and Pacquiao.
However, because of a bunch of different factors, Pacquiao is much more likely to suffer a fast decline than Mayweather is.
It wouldn't shock me at all if Floyd was still considered a top PFP fighter in 2010. On the other hand, I will be very surprised if Pacquiao is still a top-notch fighter in 2010.

Re: Who will be seen as the greatest fighter between 2001-2010
It just occurred to me that Floyd still has a lot to lose in his next 3 fights before 2010.
He never actually beat the best guy at the time when he picked up his trinkets at 140(Hatton) or 147(Margarito) or 154(Mosley), these three were undoubtedly his toughest challenges and the best of their respective divisions when he last fought there. So Floyd still may lose to the actual best of 140/147/154.
Manny might KO Juan Manuel Márquez ranked no.3 p4p by RING & what if he moved up and beat Baby Bull or Casamayor? ???

Mosley had already announced that he was moving back to 147. So when Floyd fought Oscar at 154, you could make a very strong argument that Oscar was the best fighter at 154. Mosley wasn't even in that division anymore.

Ya, but the key word there is "might." If he KO'd Marquez and then beat Diaz and/or Casamayor at 135, then people would start giving serious consideration to Pacquiao as the fighter of the decade.
But those are pretty big Ifs. All 3 of those fighters you listed would stand a very good chance of beating Pacquiao.
