    I was reading Ring Almanac from last year and there is an article about Floyd's retirement. the article named what the author feels are the 7 best fighters of the past 22 years. They are:

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Bernard Hopkins
    Evander Holyfield
    Ricardo Lopez
    Pernell Whitaker
    Julio Cesar Chavez


    How would you rate them, and please don't flame me saying that Pacquiao should be included. The original 7 listed were in Ring Magazine, and not my picks.

    You know what if that's the case, the author who came up with this so-called list is a BIASED *****. Because even though I'm a Pacquiao fan, I wouldn't have left Floyd Jr off the list... :huh:patsch

    1. Sweet Pea (Top 20)
    2. RJJ (Top 30)
    3. JCC (Top 30)
    4. B-Hop (Top 35)
    5. PBF (Top 35)
    6. Evan Fields (Top 40)

    2 & 3 probably interchangable, same with 4 and 5.

    Impressive, I completely agree with the order and that JCC and Roy is a toss-up! :good

    My only objection is that PBF and Hopkins shouldn't be this high. They'd fit in in the 50 range along with Holy. Also Hopkins, while great and overlooked for long times, should be below Floyd. His competition's been better and he hasn't lost (officially).

    You really believe Roy Jones was the least greatest fighter out of that list?
