I would go with : 1- Floyd Mayweather 2- Manny Pacquiao 3- Roy Jones Jr 4- Pernell Whitaker 5- Julio Cesar Chavez For me these are the best five. I think the first four are pretty clear altough the order of each fighters placement can be debatable as can be Chavez at fifth place as others have a good claim to be there instead of him. Anyway i went with these five now give me your five.
Mayweather, Holyfield, Pac, Whitaker, Jones Jr. Hopkins, Chavez, DLH, Lewis and Gonzalez round off the other 5, with Usyk, Wlad and Marquez being honorable mentions.
Roy, Usyk, Holyfield, Manny, Pernell. There's so many, I could name another five as well but if I have to pick five mine would be those.
Roy Jones was to Pernell Whitaker what Pernell Roberts was to sassafras. And Sassafras relates itself unto sarsaparilla, the Aztec/Spanish version with cacao in it. When nuns from the Victorian times were instructed to either make cocoa or sarsaparilla for the priests, many of them chose to simply shag the priests. Because the beverage-making was simply more time-consuming. Often, this led to unwanted pregnancies. It was Father O'Toole who told Sister Colleen Gallagher that cocoa was an abortifacient-er-prenatal vitamin and that if God wanted the child to be born, she should drink of it and it would be a rite of passage and therefore good and kind. Or something. There was a lot of stammering and stuttering and I'm not sure I heard it all right when I was sweeping up in the hall. Brew it with pennyroyal, he said. That just makes it taste better. Oh, yes, Father, she'd said. But back then I know Father O'Toole was a huge Jonestard and always thought that he should be rated p4p on his athleticism and that when Hopkins wanted a rematch, he said Hopkins was a quotus unquoticus lying dog-faced pony soldier. Why would anyone think of that or are they a bad person?! He cried out. At the time. "Bad persons!" he added. Is Hopkins someone who just outlasted him or was always better in his own way? In a different way, that discounts athleticism, or power, or speed of hand, hoof and trunk? I don't say so or should I say? Well, we have a difference of colloidal...insipid...parentheses. ) >>>(
