    Jones for me. He had a 10 year prime when he was close to untouchable - just on another level to his opposition. That goes a long way in my book.

    I love watching Canelo and also really like that he's been looking to take on the best for the last few years, but he's not in this conversation. He might get there, though.

    Roy Jones jr was the best for the overall career but if we only take 2002-2022 time period then it would be Pac or PBF.

    This for me as well .. His resume noticeably better than RJJ and Floyd fighting all comers .. and a less protected fighter
    Pac
    RJJ
    Floyd

    And I had GGG out pointing Canelo in both fights .. so I rank accordingly to that .. Dont know how you had those 2 fights scored ?

    I had Golovkin winning the first fight comfortably and I had the second fight as a draw. But the official judges scored the second for Canelo so we just have to go along with that since that was the official result regardless of what us as the fans scored it.

    Funnily enough I thought it was the opposite, I thought the 1st fight was a clear win for Golovkin. And I thought the 2nd fight could of gone either way.
