    Duran, Tyson, Robinson, Toney, Dempsey.

    Robinson was fighting the same as a teen as he was through his career. Pure natural.

    Physically, Pernell was gifted like a mother****er. Mentally, Floyd is the greatest of all time, the more you know boxing, the more you can notice every detail he changes after a few rounds to turn any competitive fight into another domination/boxing lesson. Honorable mentions to Naseem and Jones.

    Roy Jones Jr..... and easily...

    He relied on god given reflexes more than any fighter of all time... The hand and leg speed he had could not be taught, or gained through taking steroids... He threw combinations from crazy angles with elite power, not even seen from Robinson or Leonard...

    I don't see how Roy is not everyone's first pick.

    So all Roy's career, amateur, Olympics, pro, all goes away?

    I have gotten into the steroid argument many times on here.. and i am not gonna do it again... It sure as hell wasn't responsible for Roy's crazy ability...

    Don't put words in my mouth. The guy was a freak athlete, that much is for sure, but the roids thing took a lot of luster away from his outstanding career. You can't be the legit #1 in anything when you're exposed for cheating at it at one time or another.

    Roy was far and away P4P #1 by year 2000 before any of the cheating BS occurred.
