    Ray leonard had 'arguably' the bigger wins????!!!!!! :yikes :yikes :yikes :yikes
    Leonard beating just tommy hearns is better than anything floyd or mister jones will ever achieve. (to say nothing of him beating duran,benitez and hagler.) Aint no 'arguably' about this thread...

    1. Whittaker - Most skilled
    2. Leonard - Most heart
    3. Mayweather - Most hated
    4. Jones - Most athletic

    Jones way have been the fastest and was most definately the most athletic, but his skill level and ring generalship weren't on the same level as the other guys. He was not as good of a boxer as the top 3, but he had more power.

    skill isnt athleticism, its ring intelligence and fundamentals. rjj is being ridiculously overrated in here.

    SRL is the CLEAR, DEFINITE #1 out of the 4. its not even remotely close.

    I agree, and Roy is my all-time favourite fighter.

    Leonard no. 1; pick-em between Sweet Pea and Roy at 2, with a lean towards Sweet Pea; with Mayweather coming in last (but to his defence, he's the only one of them that hasn't yet retired... Roy is unofficially, at least for me).

    Well....that's not entirely true. One, SRL had a few guys he didn't fight. But seeing who he DID fight, he is forgiven that now. Whitaker fought damn near everyone though.
