    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

    :hat

    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!

    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.
