Who will be the Fighter of the Decade: 2009-2019?

[powerpuncher]

Pacquiao with the rest nowhere.

Not only did he cement himself among the pantheon of boxing gods - 2009 to 2011 with the destruction of Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley and beat Marquez, he then came back from his two defeats to Marquez and Floyd (two first ballot HOFers) with wins over Bradley x 2, Broner, Matthysse and pulled the upset over Thurman. His "filler" fights had a combined record of 94-2 and were all "world" champions.

Honorable mentions - Canelo, Chocolatito, Floyd, Ward, Golovkin

Looking at his record for the decade, he actually may edge it out. He beat some really good fighters. I will even things out by saying that he beat Bradley three times (because we all know he beat Bradley in their first fight), and lost to JMM twice (JMM clearly beat him in their third fight). His only knock is that he lost to his two best opponents legitimately. With that said, who else really beat fighters as good as Floyd and JMM?

I would say on quality of opponents and dominance over their opponents, it would have to be either Pacquiao, Floyd, or Ward hands down. Nobody else over that time span has been able to consistently dominate good/great fighters.

Pacquiao would be my choice also. Lots of greats on his resume... no periods of prolonged inactivity (which sours me a little on Ward)... no infatuation with the precious "0".... yeah... Pacquiao is the choice for me. Ward fought the real Kovalev, so he gets major votes for that. Floyd would even be a good choice. Exposed more than one wannabe p4p pretender... so he gets points from me on that alone. Beyond those three, I can think of plenty of deserving careers that would get my vote ahead of Canelo.

I'd say Pac.

I agree , this is the podium and this is the right order for me. I don't mind switching Pac with Floyd but Andre is pretty much stick on the last spot of the stage, Kovalev is the only p4p fighter on his resume and we all know who won their first fight, even in the second one he wasn't able to outbox Sergey until The Crusher run out of gas.

I'd definitely not take in consideration a cheater who blame the cow.
