Who have the GREATEST RESUME of the last 25 years?

PAC has the best resume by far, Lewis's ain't bad either

 

I respect your opinion, and everyone elses, and obviously there's no right answer.

It's a great debate!

But I would look at who everyone fought and beat, but more importantly when? What were the circumstances involved?


Lewis has got Holy and Tyson on his record, but Tyson was shot. Did he beat any great fighters in their prime etc?


Manny's resume jumps straight out at you, because it reads:

MAB X3,
Morales X 3
JMM X 4.

Those are 10 great fights.

But I have to ask why he fought those guys as many times.


Look at Roy's resume.

He barely lost a round in his prime, and he was that dominant he didn't need rematches and trilogies when he was at his best.

Roy's resume reads:

Hopkins X 1
Toney X 1
Hill X 1
Ruiz X 1


Lets say that Manny beat all of those fighters convincingly, and didn't need rematches.


Then lets say that Roy had great back and forth competitive fights.


What if Manny's resume read:

MAB X1
Morales X 1
JMM X 1.


What if Roy's read:

Toney X 4
Hopkins X 2
Hill X 2
Ruiz X 2


Roy's resume would probably jump out at you a lot more.


There's lots of things that need taking into consideration.

 

Ok, youre just trolling now.

 

Don't see how anyone can rate LL over Holyfield ?

 

i could be wrong, as i can't find any sources to prove this specifically, but i believe that hopkins had very few, or even zero amateur fights.

he fought in the prison boxing system, but i don't think that those are considered official amateur bouts. i could be wrong, but i can't get into the sources too deeply until tonight.


hopkins was doing well when he fought jones, but he wasn't yet a finished product. he had only lost in his debut, and he had a lot of knockouts. jones was quite young himself, too.

but, given what hopkins was able to do down the road, it's still a big win. they should have fought each other long before that awful rematch in '10

 

He doesn't have a couple of stoppage losses in his early career, like Pac does. In his prime at cruiser he was unbeatable, up until Lewis he'd only lost to Moorer (which he avenged by KO) & Bowe.

The vast majority of his losses were when he was well past his best, unlike Pacquiao who lost twice early on in his career, was beaten by an old Morales & could've lost all 4 to Marquez. If Manny fights on for another 10 years he'll end up with even more losses than Holy has.

Holy has beaten the better competition imo & he's fought...

CW Champions: Qawi x2, Braxton, Ocasio, Deleon

HW Champions: Thomas, Dokes, Douglas, Foreman, Holmes, Bowe x3, Moorer x2, Mercer, Tyson x2, Lewis x2, Ruiz x3, Rahman, Byrd, Ibragimov & Valuev

He's also fought Toney, Cooper, Stewart x2 & many more.

Pacquiao has moved up through a lot of divisions but he's never given away as much weight as Holy has, who spent the majority of his career fighting much bigger opponents & at a higher level of competition than Pac's.

 

Toney should be added to the poll. Also Ricardo Lopez.

 

How in the world would he have the best RESUME of the last 25 years?

 

Dumbest **** I have read to date so what Roy doesn't fight one of the biggest heavy weights on history and people knock for himatsch. Some fans just get more ******ed as the years go on !

 

Thats easy to say now...

Not so much after Lewis fought Vitali.... There were many experts entertaining the idea of Roy beating Lennox.. And Roy seriously wanted to fight him.. Now I am not saying Lennox ducked Roy, but it is a fact that a fight was talked about.
