    Top 10 is so subjective. Assuming you think Oscar have the GREATEST resume of the last 25 years?

    Who will you replace on that list with Oscar btw?

    Barrera if I could. A top 10 is tough though. In my top 30 fighters ever I have

    Whitaker
    Jones Jr
    Hopkins
    Chavez
    Pac

    As a top 5, with Holy, Floyd an honourable.

    Great call. Ya I would replace Oscar with Barrea. I don't think it makes a difference, because neither will be #1 lol. I just threw out the top 10 names that were ranked from fighters of the 90's and this decade.
    I was thinking about Tyson as well, but in terms of overall resume and not just domination /h2h, I think Tyson falls just a bit short as compare to the likes of Hopkins,Evander,Lewis, Jones Jr etc.

    Jones beating Tony & Nard is by far and away the best.

    No no, but out of my top 30 guys ever, those are the guys of the last 25 years to make that list, so it only makes sense to rank them that way 25 years wise.

    How green was Bernard in your opinion? I know that version of Toney was pretty elite or close to prime as it gets, but Hopkins just started out didn't he?

    Bernard was a very good win for Roy... They were both young, both went on for years without a loss afterwords..

    Sure Bernard wasn't the smart crafty veteran, but he was physically a lot better than older Bernard... Who would have lost worse to that version of Roy IMO...

    That fight was fought at a very high skill level for 2 fighters' first real title fight.

    Hopkins had over 100 amateur bouts. Amateurs isn't the be all and end-all of greatness.

    A conjured up excuse to bring Jones Jr down.
