    Good point. He's no where near as hungry as a prime Tony Tubbs.

    His record is 42-0 dumbass.:lol:

    He's not the greatest fighter of the last 20 years, I rank him behind Jones and Pacquaio (Yes, , also Sweat Pea. Manny Pacquaio) if he fights Pacquaio, and wins; then he jumps over Manny and possibly Jones.

    floyd is an ATG.

    probably top 40 ATG IMO.

    Maybe thats slighly too harsh, but there's no win over a fellow HOF in there prime.

    If he did fight one i'm sure he'd do fine, but its all guess work.

    Roy Jones was the greatest.

    Roy > Floyd

    I agree.

    Jones is the greatest fighter I've ever seen in terms of ability.

    X 2, this. Add Ricardo Lopez to a top 6.

    I do happen to have Pea, Pac, and Floyd all in my top 25. Jones and Hopkins around 40. Honestly, I have Ricardo Lopez ahead of Jones and Hopkins probably.

    I've always had Pea and Jones incredibly close to eachother, their talent outweighs their resumes.

    Hopkins though not as talented has had an arguably better career so I rank him above both. Sadly I'm not really up to scratch on Lopez, I know he retired undefeated but not untied.
