Best boxer of this Generation

lets wait after floyd's vacation.

and to answer your question,
pac.

 

In terms of all-time pound-for-pound career greatness...

MANNY PACQUIAO.



In terms of ability and effectiveness...

ROY JONES JR.

 

you should wait to vote when everything is done.

 

you mean when floyd and pac fight was done? it would never happen, floyd doesn't want a piece of pacman.

 

There always has to be one.

 

:yep:good:happydeal

 

**** these technicality. boxer is a style while boxer is also what you call these fighters in our beloved sports. there is one clear best boxer/fighter of this generation and he is the one who constantly proves himself against tough oppositions and not just because of his regarded skill which was seldom tested especially at the higher weights.

 

Really?
Because Pac can be put in the same boat as Floyd of late.

Let's really get down to why Roach will accept Floyd now. Like he said, Floyd isn't the same fighter. That's Roach's deal with who he carefully picks.

Pac:

Diaz, not the best in that division.

Hatton: Post-KO'd version of Hatton who was arguably not the best any longer at 140.

Dead version of Oscar

Post-Plastered Cotto for a paper title.

Avoided a past prime Shane Mosley.

Clottey who lost to Margarito and a Post-Plastered Cotto because he has a tendency to fold in big fights.

And now a Post-KO'd, Post-no-plaster-wraps Margarito at a catch-weight for a paper title at 154.

He hasn't fought the best each time out.

Now do I understand why he took certain fights, specifically Oscar, yes.

 

You're crossing generations there. While Hopkins can cross the line Jones Jr. and DLH cannot. You're making this seem like a lot more of an interesting generation than it is.

 

you sounded like a bias hater or a joyboy all combined into one. so you think floyd did much better? i think only few people really thinks floyd has the superior resume compared to pac. floyd has a chance to shortcut his way to surpassing pac by fighting and beating him but unfortunately he won't fight.

 

Pathetic. Hatton was The Ring lww champion, undefeated at lww which is his best weight, and was coming off arguably the second best win and performance of his career. Cotto beat Mosley at welter, and the only loss on his record was to a ****ing cheat. Both were p4p ranked, both are naturally bigger men, you're either a revisionist or an idiot to paint either fight as an easy option, they were the best fights available in those divisions at the time.

 

you are talking to a guy who said that bradley is better for pac's resume back then than hatton and is complaining that pac took on cotto instead of mosley.

 

If you include Pernell Whitaker as part of this generation than he's #1. If not than Floyd Mayweather Jr.
My rankings
1. Pernell Whitaker
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
3. Roy Jones Jr.
4. Bernarid Hopkins
5. Manny Pacquiao

 

Not what I'm saying and stop being a little ***** when it comes to Pac.
Point: Pac isn't going after everybody either. I just don't want to see him get inflated either like he is the best of all time when it is obvious what he is doing as well.

Both Floyd and Pac, well, the entire WW division, are lucky that someone like Prime Tommy Hearns and SRR are not around now, with only one title available and either of them have it.

Neither Pac or Floyd would even step up to face Williams so no way would they have done it two those Great fighters. I'm sure Pac might ask Tommy to fight him at a catch-weight of 140.01 pounds but then back out if Tommy says yes. Floyd would just say "who is Tommy Hearns...I don't need him...I'm going on vacation."

Timing is everything. Roach knows what I'm talking about.

 

Well, everybody has their own definition of generation, but Pacquiao was voted (and the majority of fans agree) that Pacquiao was FOTD. I would agree and would say Pacquiao.
