    1 Manny Pacquiao
    2 Bernard Hopkins almost at par with # 3.
    3 Floyd Mayweather Jr
    4 Roy Jones Jr could have been better than 2 and 3 had he retired long ago and not tainted his old losing career. way to go chincheckers!
    5 Juan Manuel Marquez edged out Erik due to the 3 exciting pac fights and better resume at higher weights than erik
    6 Erik Morales
    7 Felix Trinidad
    8 Joe Calzaghe should have been at top6 at best due to his 0, but this crackhead shouldnt have retired and now he's saying he's better than ward? I might pull this slapper on #10!
    9 Marco Antonio Barrera
    10 Shane Mosley good wins over margo, dlh, but his latest 2 pefrormance dont.

    People really under rate Calzaghe and Tito on here,

    Calzaghe would have beaten Prime Hopkins and gone either way with Prime Jones

    Trinidad would have ****ed up Pac and beaten Mayweather

    You think Pac is the greatest in the modern era, seriously you dont know **** about boxing :deal

    Seriously your putting him at the top because of popularity rather than what he does in the ring. Jones-Hopkins-Calzaghe are all above pac, Prime Tito and Hoya can **** him up, even Prime mosley would KO his ass but hes a steroid cheat so i dont rate him highly.

    Calzaghe-Jones prime4prime would be an interesting matchup and thats why it would go either way, Calzaghe punched deceptively hard whilst Jones' power was over rated by the level of opposition he faced.

    It goes to a decision with either man having a good claim for a win

    You may have not know who some of his opponents were but some of his KO's came against guys who had never been Koed before ..Unlike Joe Ko's it was Jones that did the stopping not the refs :hey

    So that means he would stop joe? Boxing isnt just about power, Calzaghe had the speed to keep jones off him and would have outworked him at points, jones had a habit of laying on the ropes even in his prime and they would have brought the best out of each other.

    I know how good jones was but i also know how good calzaghe was too, its a close fight, either one would win
