    In the traditional divisions only, please. I'll start.

    P4P, Manny Pacquaio.

    Weight class, I'll begin with three.

    Heavyweight - Lennox Lewis

    Light Heavyweight - Roy Jones Jr

    Middleweight - Bernard Hopkins

    :good

    Pansaklek Wonjongkam - Flyweight is the most modern fighter I have on the top 5 lists.

    :dealI would add;
    MAB - Bantam
    Morales - Feather
    and i know it's not a traditional weight, but Floyd was a fantastic super-feather, he had a bit of pop back then too!

    I thought it was supposed to the most recent? Or is that your most recent?

    That is. If it was top 10 there would be even more modern fighters but as far as top 5 goes that's it.

    Interesting.

    Do you not rate Sugar Ray Robinson top 5?

    That's because you just don't know what you're talking about 75% of the time.

    i don't rate active boxers unless they have stupidly declined and their career is no longer relevant.

    most recent p4p i'd say is whittaker

    most recent heavies are lewis/tyson/holyfield/bowe. all top 20 heavies IMO.

    Nah, just saying. Wonjongkam in your top 5 Flyweights (or top 10, for that matter) signals a gross lack of knowledge of the weight class. He's probably not even a top 5 Asian Flyweight.

    Jones and Hopkins Top5? Really?

    p4p: Robinson
    hw: Holmes or Lewis
    lhw: M. Spinks
    mw: Hagler
    ww: Leonard
    lw: Whitaker
    fw: Sanchez

    got no rankings under fw. Recent in any division would be Mayweather at sfw I guess.
