    IMO Hopkins has accomplished more than any fighter of his generation.

    so are sweet pea and chavez last generation? barrera/morales/marquez are pretty great, I think better than Oscar, honestly.

    The rest of the names are all a clear notch higher than De La Hoya, in my view.

    Floyd is in the lower end of all them probably even the last.

    Or should he be ranked first because of that 0?

    Oscar has no right to be mentioned along BHop and RJJ.

    Yeah, there is that issue about where exactly to draw that generation line.

    DLH often gets short-changed because most people are often fixated on his loses as opposed to his wins.

    Accomplishment-wise DLH is right up there with all those guys.

    From the current active(and recently retired) fighters i'd say the following are atg's: jones, oscar, toney, hopkins, pac, floyd, holyfield, morales, mab, jmm.

    Breaking my top 25 atm are holyfield and hoya. When the others retire hoya drops out and pac/hopkins definitely have done enough already to make my top 25. Noone else on that list has done enough to break the top 25 imo.
