    W.T.F!What did Pancho Villa do to deserve that spot?He is to high!I think Chavez should take his place.

    PBF lower than Jones?

    strength of opposition, BOXING skill, defensive wisdom, record in title fights and opposition in those title fights, divison titles (esp. WBC titles), length of undefeated reign, and the Jones' DEVASTATING KO's to Johnson and Tarver. Floyd would never have been hit with that Tarver left, and would never have been defenseless on the ropes against Johnson's attack. Floyd over Jones in terms of greatness. Accomplishments and skill...and PPV buys if you give credit to generating income to the business.

    I respect u a lot KG, just dont see Jones over PBF, or a decent argument for it.

    Oh wait...he beat John Ruiz.

    i agree, but in my top 200, Roy Jones isn't above PBF, RJJ has been surpassed by BHOP and PBF. I don't live in the 90's.

    And you think that is more than someone who was a 3 division champ,who defended his super feather weight belt 10 times and defended his light welterweight belt 15 times ,He unified the lightweight and light welterweight divisions.Was the p4p king for 4 years and defeated future h.o.f Hector Camacho,Edwin Rosario,Jose luis Ramirez, and very good fighters in Ruben Castillo,Roger Mayweather,Tony Lopez,Meldrick Taylor,Mario Martinez,Rocky Lodrige,and Juan La Porte.He has the record of most chamionship bouts than anybody ain history.And was 89 an 0 when he first lost.And has an impressive record of 107-6 and 86 k.o's.I mean besides those wins of Villa what else did he do?I already stated what Chavez did.

    He beat Jimmy Wilde whos higher than him THE MAN. ABe attell was once considered the greatest boxer p4p. For Flyweights to get recognized in these ATG lists, they must have been very special coz frankly they are often ignored

    Why give S.Sanchez credit ? he beat Gomez and had a hard time with everyone else.. I see him in most top 50. He died young, he had unrealized potential. Same here, the kid died at 24.
    I love JCC hes in my top 25:deal

    Good point on Sanchez.He did beat the best 122 pound fighter ever in Gomez.And one of the best super feather weights ever in Nelson.I guess him and Villa should be ranked more or less around the same.But Chavez I believe should be higher than both for the points stated.But that is just my opinion.I respect yours.
