Who is the best fighter of this decade in your view. We are almost at the end of this worthless time in boxing. I hope that the next decade give us better fighters and better fights to remember like the 80s and 90s

4. Barbadoes Joe Walcott
5. Jack McCulliffe
6. Kid Kavigne
7. Jimmy Barry
8. James J. Corbett
9. Peter Jackson
10. Kid McCoy

There a lot of close calls. I'm also sure that I have missed someone obvious.

Would like to see the top 10 of barry and the Great John L.
