Are these the top 5 fighters since Ray Leonard ?

Since Leonard beat Hagler?

No. Hopkins over Floyd.

 

Yeah, I'd probably take Hopkins over Floyd as well.

 

If he beats Pac.....it depends what Hop does with the rest of his career. Though yes, I'd think that would be enough.

 

Hopkins over Chavez. Chavez was great but also greatly overrated. He was beaten clearly by Whitaker. He would've lost to Taylor had Richard ''I stopped the fight'' Steele not stopped it with 2 seconds remaining. Randall beat him and probably should've gotten the victory in the rematch.

 

1. Pernell Whitaker
2. Manny Pacquiao
3. Julio Cesar Chavez
4. Roy Jones Jr
5. Bernard Hopkins

 

Hopkins is clearly top four. I think Floyd does need both Pac and a Mosely to have a chance at locking up a top five berth. Being smaller, Pac could probably clinch one with PBF alone. As things stand now, I'd probably leave that fifth spot blank with the designation, "To be determined."

 

He also beat LaPorte, Lockridge, Rosario, Camacho, Haugen, Martinez, Ramirez, Limon, Castillo and Mayweather.

It's not really up for discussion.

 

Your reasoning reeks of 'boxrec warrior'

regardless, Chavez is still more accomplished than Floyd. Compare the two, if purely for my amusement.

 

Oscar De La Hoya or Bernard Hopkins over Floyd

 

the list is fine for me

Chavez
Pea
Pacquiao

RJJ
Money

 

As others have said I would put Hopkins over Floyd otherwise I'd agree with the list.

 

Others for consideration: Evander Holyfield, Joe Calzaghe, Marco A. Barrera, Ricardo Lopez.Shane Mosley.

 

Personally I'd agree, but wouldn't be unhappy seeing Hopkins, Holyfield or even Lewis on someones list.
