    1990 was the year I started to realy get intrested in boxing this is my ranking.
    1. Pernell Whitaker
    2. Floyd Mayweather Jr
    3. Roy Jones Jr
    4. Marco Antonio Barrera
    5. Ricardo Lopez
    6. Manny Pacquiao
    7. Bernard Hopkins
    8. James Toney
    9. Naseem Hamed
    10. Erik Morales
    11. Azumah Nelson
    12. Julio Cesar Chavez
    13. Felix Trinidad
    14. Oscar De La Hoya
    15. Ronald Wright
    16. Jermain Taylor

    This is based on how I see their talent and acomplishments. Head to head both real and "what if" is consedered but it is not a big factor. Styles make fights.

    I'm from the US. I honestly fell that all the boxers rank somewhere below the boxers I ranked.

    Noris had a nice run at 154 but he is not better than anyone on my list in my opinion. Benn also falls short. Naz belongs on the list. He could hit and while the boxers he did beat might not have been on Barrera leavel they were good boxers and not the bums that revisionest history would have us beleve. Hamed argent ***** yes, very good boxer yes.

    RJJ imo is a level above Mayweather in his sheer dominance. RJJ would laugh at 168lb version of Castillo

    Holyfield and Lennox should be there especially above limited incomplete fighters like Taylor/Wright/Trinidad

    Barreras a bit high - hes been dominated by 2 fighters

    I agree with the other poster that Calazage/Eubank/Benn.

    Calazages ruled 168lbs for over 10years and has some impressive names in his ledger. Hes far more complete than Taylor/Wright/Trinidad

    Benn was a miniture Tyson has P4P wins like McCellan, Barkley. And a 2 weight champ.

    Eubank beat Benn, Watson, Rochigani - not too far from Toney in quality 160-168. Eubank was a beast too.

    Calzaghe's dominance places him on the list, if only as a substitute for Taylor. I would agree Hamed would be on it, but due to the way he ended up it would be lower than you have said, Barrera might be a bit high too but would be on there.

    Benn would be up there for me too. Probably my favourite fighter

    Taylor doesn't belong on that sort of list....I've yet to see him beat a top guy convincingly.............Calzaghe and Lewis and Tszyu deserve to be way ahead of Taylor
