Best boxer In this decade? floyd mayweather?

People going on about mayweather being the best boxer in this decade but i think hes the best outboxer of this decade i dont think hes the best but his style is without a doubt the best and his speed.
Anyone else think mayweather isnt the best boxer of this decade?

Mayweather isn't the best boxer in the decade, he does have a style that wins him the game but he hasn't done as much as other boxers have. To be honest, i can never watch a full fight of his. I either skip to the end and find nothing or stop watching ¼ of the way through. How can the best boxer of the decade be a boring fight to watch?

i agree with that ray.

no he sucks lol

i do like how he destroyed gatti so he isnt crap by a long shot i dont think eddie watches boxing lol

He doesn't suck, his fights are just boring.

I don't like his fights. And I don't like his behaviour. After the Baldomir fight he started yelling at Larry Merchant during the interview. This is just rediculous if you don't have the Ali wit or the Tyson personality then you should just tone down the loudmouth act.
He also said that SRL couldn't cut it in his era. I mean w00t !

He doesn't entertain, he beats washed up fighters and he hasn't had a great rivalry with anyone. He is great no doubt, but I wouldn't mention him in the same breath as Hearns, Duran, Hagler and Leonard.

agreed altho hearns wasnt that gd but he had a big advantage for his wieght the guy looked like a middle wieght but fought at welter.

wasnt this the guy who went from welter wieght to light heavywight getting a title in almost each wieght?

he had amazing handspeed devastating right ahdn power a great left hook to the body and a long snapping jab.

but chin

well it wasnt great but he could take a jab or 2

very bad i dea on heartns look on some reels of him he was amazing and desrerves more credited than leonard

anyways...boxing has always had the boring fighter but just cant be beat.

thing is with floyd is a great ring technician had alot of power especially at the lower wieghts at super feather he cleaned out the division then at light welter and up he fought less and less useful comp. and even when this is the greatest welterwieght group in years.

this is a heavy mix and all floyd can fight are 1 or 2 times a year against an old man in baldomir a good but not up to the mark oscar and in that his best win at welter must be gatti and gatti was a punch bag with arms he actually prides himself on having no defensae and then he stands infront of floyd waiting for waht....to get hit?...come to think about it i just noticed isnt that the last time floyd threw a combo of more than 2?

Floyd doesn't need combos, his style is doing the trick.. they are an entertaining part of Boxing, floyd not doing any adds to the boringness of the fights.

It's guys like him that stopped me watching boxing, honestly the guy is so so so so boring.

I hope that runner runs right into one of Hattons right hooks.

You know this is one of the reasons I like UFC, you can run yes but sooner or later you will get caught up with and taken down. You can't run off when you are on the floor !!

No I'm not starting a UFC debate again so back off

Edit...

Who is the best of the generation in your eyes guys ?

Not that I know anything about boxing anymore but I'd just like to hear what you think and then maybe I can find a few fights to watch that don't put me to sleep. I do still love Boxing, it's an awsome sport !

true but he was a combo puncher thats what got him the title of pound 4p pound in that he had amazing speed power reactions abilty and combo's.

i would understand when your fighting a guy like oscar that you should hit and run. he is old and bigger and doesnt have the speed to catch up with you and will come in on the night at aroudn 160lb while you will be at around welterwieght maybe 150lb. that makes so much sense and i wouldnt mind him about that...

but when you see him coming in as a gladiator then running away from a complete non puncher in baldomir. who is very tough and wont fold easily but is limited.then make a display of your skills show the world what you can do dont try win the fight MAKE THE FIGHT. he could of stopped baldo if he just kept blitzing him through workrate.

i do feel sorry for him in a way that he is always criticised for not fighting the guy when you can easily when the fight but just being a low action low workrate but great accuracy. it doesnt put bums on seats.

a shame but he did kinda deserve all the criticism.
