    1 - Floyd Patterson. Should have been top 4 lightheavy ever.

    2 - Mike Tyson. Should have been top 3 HW ever.

    3 - Roy Jones. COULD have been #1. Ever.

    yes but floyd could have achieved so much more, surely you can see that, at WW he had the talent to be a top 20 ATG thats for sure, he had alot of potential fights he would of probably won, but chose money instead

    Obviously because he didn't fight every ring champion up to Heavyweight. He obviously dodged Valuev and David Haye should have been a classic.

    Mayweather is an ATG that goes down as one of the best ever at 130, he certainly wasn't a waste of talent like people here try to say :lol:

    Prince Nas certainly could have achieved more, but he was limited.

    My vote goes to Ike "The President" Ibeabuchi. The man brutally knocked out unbeaten and future IBF champ Chris Byrd in 5 rounds, and is the ONLY man to ever go toe to toe with prime Tua and not only survive, but win in an all out slugfest. He was primed for a superfight with Lewis and even if he lost which isn't a given, he would of been The Man after Lewis retired and carved out a great legacy. Had he kept his head on straight IMO he would of reigned as champ from 2002, to possibly present. At the very worst would have been champion until 05/06 and we wouldn't have had to endure Johnny Ruiz as HW champion and china chinned Wladimir (who I actually have respect for, he takes his training seriously and he actually is trying to unify. But he is no Ibeabuchi).

    It's a shame, the guy was special. A massive fighter with great power, great workrate and stamina, granite chinned, good speed.....

    So fighting Unbeaten former undisputed 140 champ Ricky Hatton was simply a "money fight?" DLH who fought for the MW title against an ATG and is an ATG himself was simply a "money fight." Don't believe everything you hear.
