    What 2 fighters you felt in their PRIME were virtually unstoppable and unbeatable.....My 2 choices are Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr

    Roy Jones Jr: In his PRIME no came close to beating him he waz just too dam extraordinary!!! "NO" fighter I repeat "NO" fighter right now or in the last 10-15 years from 160 to 175 would been able to beat him in his PRIME,every fighter would have defeated by RJ,no doubt about it.

    Iron Mike Tyson:In the peak of this mans PRIME,he waz truly the definition of "UNSTOPPABLE",Tremondous one punch power,Exceptionally good speed for a heavyweight.I also feel In Mike Tysons PRIME he would have beaten every heavyweight there eva was,I feel He would have beaten George Foreman,Rocky Marciano{Marciano was overrated I must add} and even the Great Muhammad Ali himself.I believe Prime Mike Tyson would edged out a close decision agianst a Ali that was also in his prime.

    Roy Jones at 168 and PBF at 130.
    Roy had speed o burn power in both hands could land and almost KO at will. Hard to hit ATG reflexes throwing 5 and 6 shot combos with ease in other words a boxing god with gloves.

    PBF at 130 ATG lateral movement, counter punching king, fast hands, great chin, unlimited stamina, good power excellent defense could also fight off his back foot as well.

    Word Pimp, 130. I feel Floyd did not perfect his shoulder roll until the latter stages of his 135 run.

    Ricardo Lopez and Roy Jones Jr. It's not so much that Lopez was untouchable, but I can't think of anyone in the history of the 105 weight class who could beat him. Prime Ali is probably up there, even though he didn't really get to fight in what should have been his prime.

    The Tyson talk seems a little silly to me. Put prime Ali or prime Foreman in against prime Tyson, and I don't think Tyson wins. A good fighter with stamina and a chin still could have beaten Tyson at his best.

    I think there's going to be a debate for every fighter.

    I felt Leonard in his prime was the closest thing to getting a complete/perfect fighter.
