    Can't be the best without beating the best. Too many easy options and very questionable wins. Waited 5 years for Pac to get old, didn't take proper drug testing / caught red handed, lost the fight if you watch it from an unbiased point of view. Changed boxing into wwf. No one fights the best anymore because of the example he set.

    Name me a fighter with his skills, longevity and dominance over so many weight classes. As a boxing fan when he fights the skills you see and sometimes miss are unbelievable. His skills are that good that his athleticism even nearing 40 is overlooked.

    First time in a long time ESPN has gotten something to do with boxing correct.

    Cant believe any purist would take an ESPN combat sports list seriously. The same ESPN that reported Ronda Rousey was voted to be the greatest female athlete ever
