    1. Sugar Ray Robinson
    2. Pernell Whitaker
    3. Roy Jones Jr.
    4. Thomas Hearns

    If Floyds beats maybe JMM, Pac, and Mosley. He gets top 4.

    Tyson was a phenomenon but will never be classed as a pound for pound great

    Ray Leanord you got right then substitute Thomas Hearns, and Marvin Hagler, Michael Spinks, AAron Pryor hell if I think harder I can probably squeeze one or two other names in.

    Plus, he would be 1st on that list as he is greater than all of them.

    Damn, you agree with his inclusion of 'glass-jaw' Roy Jones Jr? :shock:

    Anyway, Holmes as a heavyweight by far.

    But I rate Holyfield higher P4P because of his cruiserweight achievements.

    And in answer to the question:

    1 Sugar Ray Leonard
    2 Pernell Whitaker
    3 Roy Jones Jr
    4 Floyd Mayweather

    On a P4P scale.

    Holyfield or PBF?

    Holyfield or Hopkins?

    Hopkins > PBF

    Holyfield > PBF & Hopkins

    Sugar Ray
    Hitman Hearns
    Sweet Pea
    Marvelous Marvin

    ...how any1 can say Floyd was greater then those four, or even Roy for that matter (atcually Roy has a good case) is beyond me

    Sugar Ray
    Roy Jones
    Whitaker
    Holyfield

    Jones was the most talented (freak genetics/skills)

    Leanord was the complete package skills courage determination
    Holyfield is the definition of Warrior

    Whitaker best defensive fighter ever
