    How would you rank these following fighters based on their all time P4P ranking, and how good their legacy will be?

    James Toney
    Roy Jones Jr
    Bernard Hopkins
    Evander Holyfield

    p4p :
    1. Toney
    2,3. Jones / Holyfield (interchangable)
    4. Hopkins

    Toney's legacy will turn out 2b d worst because ppl have built in brain deffects in their genes .
    Jones' will somehow turn out 2b d best , but it will b close 2 Hopkins' and Holyfield's (which will b d closest 2 it) .
    Again , all (regarding d legacy part) because ppl r born and raised this way , especially most of those who grace these forums .

    Roy Jones Jr
    Evander Holyfield
    James Toney
    Bernard Hopkins - close with Toney but I think Toney at his best is better and has the better wins/opposition

    Hopkins
    Jones
    Holyfield
    Toney

    But someone soon will remind me how good holyfield is and i'll change my mind :lol:

    Hopkins definitely the best though.

    By best you mean his best wins are definitely the worst, then I'd agree with you

    yep



    btw, when I agreed with you I did mean in a strictly greatness/resume/legacy sense

    I do think that Jones or Holyfield are clearly the number one in terms of who was the best fighter of them, but that's a different issue really. I think Jones' win over Hopkins is tremendously underrated today, people talk of it as if it is nothing and should be dismissed, I categorically disagree with that.

    Just to clear that up.

    I still agree with you on your original post though:good
