    You have to be outright kidding me :yikes

    Im not saying griffith wasnt a good fighter, but you would honestly have him above a prime Muhammad Ali ?

    Of course, Griffith was a force for the entire decade. Ali was still an amateur in 1960, and had retired by 1967. He had shown no redeeming qualities of greatness. He was a superb boxer, but had yet to show the heart, we found out he had in the 70s... Hindsight makes Ali a great, without doubt; but on January 1st 1970 there was still an awful lot of unanswered questions about Ali.

    All I seem to read is about Hatton is gonna get outclassed.If your so sure why not bet big money on it,the odds are fantastic for someone like you who thinks its only one possible outcome.Your better off telling everyone how Floyd will struggle and try and pursuade people to bet on Hatton giving you better odds when you bet your life savings.OHHH wait your full of **** and would never even dream bout betting big money on it would you.

    Why yes yes we are. I have Cotto at number 6 p4p. The ring has him at 7. Were any of those fighters ranked as high as number 6/7 p4p?

    Pretty much summed it up, in the 90's Pernell went 20-3-1, while Roy went 36-1 (DQ) Roy destroyed everyone in the 90's. Pernell peaked like you said mid 80's - early 90's

    Yeah but look who was amongst Whitaker's opponents in the 90's:

    Azumah Nelson
    Buddy McGirt X 2
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Oscar de la Hoya
    Felix Trinidad

    All were top 5 p4p fighters when Whitaker faced them.

    If you think he won the Oscar fight, then I don't think it's debateable, he was the fighter of the 90's.

    If you think he lost the DLH fight then Roy has a good case.
