Now that 2009 has wrapped up, we can take a look at the best of the decade that just was. We still have fighter, fight and round of the decade left to go.
When voting, please only consider the time that the fighter was in the specified weight class during this decade. Also, I'm not going to count obvious ballot stuffing when I tally these up in a couple weeks. Due to ballot stuffing patterns, the Manny Pacquiao fight isn't in the poll, but votes will be counted in the comments.
