    The best fighter of the last 10 years is without any doubt, Floyd Mayweather ..
    Roy Jones really shouldnt be on that list as his legacy is mostly based in the '90s.
    Nobody else on that list is anywere close to Mayweather in terms of talent and skill. Not Pac, not Marquez and certainly not Joe Calzaghe.
    The 3 best fighters since Sugar Ray Leonard, in no particular order are :

    Floyd Mayweather
    Roy Jones
    Pernell Whitaker

    Manny Pac is a true great but in terms of natural talent and pure boxing skills, he doesnt compare to these 3 guys .. He was clearly outboxed by Morales when Morales still had something and for me he was schooled by Marquez in his first fight and should never have been given that draw ..
    Floyd, Roy and Pernell are and were truly special fighters and its a shame that some people on here cant see that ..
    How the hell can anybody compare Joe Calzaghe to Floyd Mayweather, that is absolutely ridiculous ..

    I'd say Pacquiao. If for no other reason, he's beaten three other names on that list.

    Jones and it isn't close, your asking for the best not the best resume/achievement etc and Jones is a level above everyone. Pacquaio doesn't know what to do when someone boxes him, he isnt the best, Mayweather just isnt as gifted as Roy.

    It says quite clearly in the poll question, "including achievements."

    How many times has Pacquiao been successfully outboxed??

    The man has a combined total of six wins against Barrera, Morales, Marquez, and DeLaHoya. He must be doing something right against boxers.

    You have a better case of saying, "Roy doesn't know what to do when someone knocks him down, so he isn't the best."

    Its funny that u mention marquez fight, when he won by a split decision by 1 point, could have easily gone to juan.

    What's wrong with winning a close decision over one of the classiest boxers in the ring today?

    IMO, Its Pacquia, then Mayweather, then Hopkins, then Calzaghe, then Morales, then Marquez, then Mosley, then Jones, then Trinidad, then De La Hoya

    That's pretty close to how I see it as well, although there's some room for debate near the bottom of the list.
