    If you leave guys like Pernell Whitaker, Julio Cesar Chavez, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson as part of the 1980s (as probably their peak, prime performances were in that decade), and accept, as I think that most do, that Roy Jones Jr is out on his own as the best fighter since Whitaker, then if an all-time great top 100 was done in 30 years time, which of the greatest fighters of our era (say from the early 90s til now, ie the start of the careers of the great fighters who are now around retiring, ie Jones Jr, Hopkins, Toney etc) would rank highest in your opinion? I could only list 10 as that is the maximum allowed, but if you think of any others then please comment.

    I want to say Jones, but Hoya has the best resume and two of those fights he lost were questionable
