    I'm sure nobody will agree.However, in hopes of some good boxing conversation... how do you rank them P4P and why?

    Personally, I rank them:

    Pernell Whitaker: Best defense and Offense mixture, overall. KO power, blinding hand speed, ridiculous punch slipping and defense.

    SRL: Best hand speed and combination punching of the group.

    Roy Jones: Most intimidating, amazing speed (for a guy his size) and defense (compared to amazing in this group)

    Mayweather: Amazing technical defense and OK power. Amazing hand speed (again, compared to this group of amazing fighters, not average fighters)

    You give Pernell KO power and give Mayweather OK power :lol:

    I think Sugar Ray Leonard is the best out of the group

    Leonard
    Whitaker
    Jones
    Mayweather

    I wouldn't strongly disagree with someone saying Mayweather was better than Jones, but I give Jones the slight edge.

    Whitaker was the most skilled. Leonard was the most well-rounded. Roy was the best physical specimen. Floyd is the most technical.
