    take your pick....not many have had the honour of being called P4P ....by the RING magazine.

    Roy Jones or Sweet Pea for me. Both great fighters in their prime and pretty much unbeatable.

    At this very moment it's definitely RJJ and Sweet Pea for me, but you're right, the landscape is ever so changing. Things may be different in a year or 2.

    ITs gotta be Hopkins.

    When we compare recent ATGs. It seems that Hopkins does not get mentioned around here much.

    I think he is the greatest fighter of my generation.
    The man has been kicking ass for decades. Is still the top of the food chain.
    Did any of those other fighters do that??

    ive got to go with Jones.....his fall from grace was brisk....but he was 35 at the time...what waseveryone bar Hopkins doing post 35???

    Jones was on top for a decade as the best P4P ...he was Ring P4P no less than 3 seperate times over 10 years....

    like Bert Sugar said..."NOT even Ray Robinson had that honour"

    RJJ for me, followed by Sweet Pea....the rest are a few blocks behind. In their primes, Roy and Pernel where unstoppable, and Roy more so than anyone....power, speed, reflexes! Dude barely lost a round in one decade!

    Its clearly one of the first two, both freaks

    I went for Sweet Pea as he was far more rounded with his freakiness
