    -Manny Pacquiao - a 6 weight world champion with linear ship at 5, a modern day legend has to get in on achievements

    -Emile Griffith - fell short at the top top level to be considered great by me

    -Salvador Sanchez - died to young dosent have as much established achievements as the rest

    -Pernell Whittaker - amazing fighter head to head, the most skilled of his time

    -Roy Jones - never held a world title, never ofught a real challenge compared to the others

    -Bernard Hopkins - i wish i could but he hasnt done enough compared to the rest

    -Floyd Mayweather - im a huge FMj fan but he aint done enough

    -Julio Cesar Chavez - gets in because of his resume its simply amazing, also H2h hes pretty decent too

    - Aaron Pyror - didnt do enough

    Roy Jones never held a world title?
    middleweight champion
    super middleweight champion
    undisputed LH champion
    hevyweight champion
    the fastest fighter ever to lacem up there was no challenge. going from middle to heavy was quite the challenge

    Chavez
    Whitaker
    Mayweather

    Very hard choice but I believe those 3 are the best along with RJJ but I could only pick 3 so someone has to sit out.

    This is how I see it too. A little shaky on Mayweather. He needs to defeat Pacman.

    Pernell Whitaker - not only was he dominant until he became a cokehead, but he did it to such a degree that he never seemed to lose a round.

    Bernard Hopkins - a head-to-head king, the kind of fighter who's skill and talent goes beyond the constraints of a mediocre level of competition against his prime, to make his accomplishments almost secondary to his talent.

    Emile Griffith - the leap from welterweight to middleweight (at a championship level) is incredibly difficult and Griffith pulled it off.

    Chavez, Hopkins (for longevity more than being that great) and I'll go with Pacman for number 3. IMO Griffith is extremely overated.
