    This could get pretty subjective but in your view which fighter(s) had the most amazing/incredible career(s) of the last 20 years?

    1996-2016 :deal

    Not just resume and win/loss record but career as a whole :cool:

    Floyd, he was the best in every division he fought in. Made great fighters look like amateurs. Oh yeah he's undefeated too.

    All of those guys had pretty incredible careers.

    But Bernard's age-defying performances at an elite level win the day for what I would describe as "incredible".

    Roy Jones Jr. moving from 160-HW and winning titles all the way through.

    Coming from his origins to reach the heights he did, it has to be Manny.

    There may have been better fighters but his career defies credulity (perhaps in more ways than one but :conf)

    I think Carl Froch deserves to be on that list. He went from an unknown in his own country late on in his career to have war after war and in other peoples back yard. Sure he lost just a couple of times but ever since he beat Robin Reid his resume was top class and he entertained.

    I voted Hopkins, I was incredulous with what he achieved at such an advanced age.

    US fighters are mostly questionable on PED's.

    If anyone 20 years ago had thought two fighters like Roy Jones and Floyd could have made such careers out of avoiding tough challenges and been caught doping on top of that, and still gullible fans proclaim them as ATGs I don't think many would have believe it, so those two have the most 'incredible' careers.

    The rags-to-riches story of Pac is pure quality. Plus his rise through the divisions and his fan friendly style. Gotta go with Pac.

    Floyd has a much better resume than Pac, it's not close.

    Going solely by in ring, Floyd or Roy. Going by inside and outside the ring Pacquiao, I mean, he's friggin senator for his country and possible presidential candidate. No one beats that.
