"Fighter of the Decade" Rankings

[ArawakWarria]

Now for the actual numbers...

If you are going to rate the best of the decade, you definitely have to give credence to the undefeated's, especiallly if they were champions through that time.

1. Joe Calzaghe
2. Floyd Mayweather
3. Bernard Hopkins
4. Winky Wright
5. Manny Pacquiao
6. Juan Manuel Marquez
7. Shane Mosely
8. Miguel Cotto
9. Erik Morales
10. Antonio Margarito

*Like Hopkins, JMMarquez and Winky have never been beaten soundly in a fight. It has been too close to call, and then it went the other way or drew against top 5 opponents.
*Margarito made 10th because I believe he is in his prime and will do very well over the next year or two.

Honorable mention:
Lennox Lewis-who is still better than all of the HW's out here, but retired too soon to be ranked for the decade.

Ivan Calderon & Chris John-who are undefeated, but need the opposition to earn the rankings

Roy Jones, Jr-still one of the best who ever did it, he definitely has not been strong this decade with losses and few big name opponents. This Calzhaghe fight could literally wipe all of that away... Stay tuned.
