    Do you consider one of them a class about the rest? they were both massive stars and great boxers so its a difficult pick. Both quite similar in many ways.

    P4P you have to give Roy a clear edge, I think.

    Roy

    Holyfield being #1 CW and top 15-ish HW is impressive though and honestly I wouldn't outright call someone stupid for picking Holyfield here, despite my personal dislike for him...

    Holyfield. Better resume, imo.

    Holyflield - he fought all the top guys of his era, in two divisions. Jones didn't

    Very hard to pick here but I'll have to go with RJJ.

    I think Holyfield has the best resume among recent fighters, De La Hoya is a close second.
