    A wee change from the usual all time lists, who have been the ten best boxers since you were born? I was born in 89 (hence the name), so my 10 would probably be:

    1. Pernell Whitaker
    2. Roy Jones Jr
    3. Floyd Mayweather Jr
    4. Bernard Hopkins
    5. Tito Trinidad
    6. Manny
    7. Lennox Lewis
    8. Barrera
    9. Morales
    10. Calzaghe

    Guys like SRL were still fighting when i was born but were way past their best and therefore i can't include him.

    **** sake Stone Rose, you were only born 13 years before me yet your list ****'s all over mine.

    Why couldn't the fab 4 have been around in the 90's instead of the stupid ****ing 80's!

    Exactly 20. If we're only counting fighters who have been active since after I was born, I'd have to take a couple names off. I guess I'll go ahead and remove Whitaker, Chavez, Holyfield and Tyson.

    You can almost tell how old people are from their lists without them saying their age. If Mayweather is in there they are young, if Leonard and Hearns are in there they are in their 40s- etc. Shows you how subjective boxing is. I still think the Leonard/Hearns era is much better and more exciting than the Delahoya/Mayweather era.
