    Morales did give us too much...Got to love Morales..I aint even mexican but he is a true aztec warrior..lol...he is in a class by himself. I mean what other fighter with his boxing skill actually gets down in dirty like that..**** all you got to do is land a good shot on Morales and he is coming back after your ass no matter what the risks.. IE Barrera fights.

    Hopkins yes..Jones..not really if you go back 15 yeah. I guess he means guys from 1997-98- till current. Mayweather is #1 and Hopkins #2. They were pretty much stayed on the P4p radar during that stint. But hopkins lost to taylor twice and Floyd kept on winning.. We all know what happend to Roy..

    Marco Antionio Barrera (Ended Naz, 2-1 vs Morales, could beat Pac)

    Bernard Hopkins (Despite 2 close losses to Taylor, flawless)

    Jones since 1997 isn't better than Mayweather or Hopkins.

    I guess mayweather never flown by your radar. He did win the 130 title in 1998 and won 5 more moving up 5 weights :think:think:think I think that is a little more challenging

    In the last 10 years Hopkins only two losses were questionable decisions. Why do you have Casamayor over Hopkins?

    Then his resume would include Diego Corrales, Acelino Freitas, Jose Luis Castillo, Nate Campbell, and Daniel Santos. That wouldn't quite matchup with Hopkins wins over Felix Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya, Winky Wright, Glen Johnson, and Antonio Tarver.
