    Pac is the real wildcard. He's going to be knocking Roy or Wlad off if he hangs them up for sure....no idea how the voters handle that one....

    As much as I dislike Mayweather if you gunna take him out because you suspect him then you can do same with a lot of legends like Pac, Wlad, Holyfield etc

    Oh man. I don't know. :lol:

    Eliminating 1 of those 4 is supremely difficult. I think Floyd clearly has to top the list.

    It's tough to leave Wlad off, having dominated the marquee weight class for so long. So it would probably come down to Pac or Hopkins. So it's between Hopkins longevity, where he burned slow but long, or Pac's explosive prime when he was on fire before quickly burning out.

    I'd PROBABLY reluctantly give Bernard the boot. But he was such an exceptional fighter, with such unique talents, that I'd eliminate him if needed - but I would attempt to do everything in my power to make the case that he was exceptional enough fighter to make an exception, and keep 4.

    :smoking:

    Only Mayweather got caught with an illegal excessive 750 ml of saline drip. We ALL know what that was used for

    Yes we can speculate what it was for and like you I believe he used it to juice but the truth is he was never caught with the drugs in his system so we can put it down as a positive.

    Thought this was the obvious choice. Amazed people don't consider Wlad an automatic lock. The guy dominated the marquee division for a decade.

    Mayweather, Wlad, Hopkins. I would've picked Jones instead of Hopkins but he hasn't retired yet.
