    I thought about this one . Pacman fought and beat the best. I almost gave it to Hopkins-but that was eliminated when his fight with Taylor come to my mind.

    And Floyd's best wins were over Corrales (weight drained and on the cusp of imprisonment) Hatton (an ineffective WW) and he remained undefeated by fighting the likes of Gatti and Baldomir?!?!?

    See how easy it is to dissect someone's record when you do that?

    Hopkins' resume is far superior to Floyd's. Jumping up and down in weight means **** all unless you're fighting someone decent. Otherwise Jorge Linares would be seen as a 'two-weight World champ'.

    1) Pac
    2) Hopkins
    3) Floyd
    4) Calzaghe

    but if Pacquiao loses to Hatton then i gotta say BHop takes over

    I went for Mayweather... he also get the biggest douche award too, but hell, no denying his skills, he's a genius in his own right.

    You're using the term "great" rather loosely there. Haye and Taylor clearly have not done nearly enough to be considered great yet, and nobody "wooped" Bernard, you dumbass.

    quite surprised that pac is leading handily. floyd's early retirement hurt him.

    see thats you & everyone elses problem in this thread...

    you guys are looking @ this from a boxing fans perspective....

    looking from a commercial stand point ...

    floyds past 10 years were way more memorable

    fighting oscar with the first 24-7 and the all time ppv record
    and fighting hatton (and selling 1.5)

    which were the two biggest fight between the years of 2000-2010 (prior to knowing the outcome)

    floyd is the fighter of the decade... hate him or love him...
