    Holyfield
    De La Hoya
    Hopkins
    Mayweather
    Pacquiao
    Tyson

    This was tough. I put Lewis no.1 purely cos he fought high level competition and eventually beat every man he stepped in the ring with.

    Personaly i think pac and Floyd should be right beside each other....their careers and talents are on par with each other honestly.....

    Early in both careers won tittles at young ages

    Early in careers fought everybody and were hungry

    Early in careers both were exciting with KO power(While Pac has maintained his as he has moved up)

    Both though as they have moved up have made some questionable moves, won good fights but fights that are heavily scrutinized.

    Both have accomplished an awful lot in boxing


    I always rank these two close to each other.....really want to see the fight between the two.

    Nah, Pacquiao has defeated a higher quality of opposition on a more consistent basis.

    your opinion i respect it but while i do give Pac's resume a slight edge...Floyd's is not as bad as some make it out to be.

    Probably true, I.

    There is a distinction between the two records though. They aren't on the same level.
