    Nine of the best fighters of this era, and an option for someone who isn't in there.

    (*please recognize that I am NOT saying these are the top 9 resumes, these are just the 9 I am putting up for a vote, if you think it's someone else please say who and explain)

    It's a public vote, so if you vote then please explain WHY you think your choice is correct.

    WHO HAS THE BEST RESUME SINCE THE END OF THE 1980S?

    Lewis.

    I love Roy Jones and B-Hop, but I think Lewis' dominance and the fact that he avenged his only two defeats in strange (McCall) and precise (Rahman) fashion, as well as beating two genuine matinee names, regardless of how past their best they were, being dodged by another one of the best at the time, and beating someone who is regarded as the bets now (even though I had Klitschko ahead, Lewis stopped him, simple as that)

    Phew. So I say Lewis. If you'd said late 80's to now, I'd be inclined to say Sweet Pea. But in terms of this list

    1) Lennox
    2) B-Hop
    3) Roy

    De la Hoya took on FLoyd, Mosely twice, Whitaker, Hopkins at a weight he had no business being at, destroyed Vargas in that grudge match and fought Chavez (even though he was past it).

    I think he takes this.

    My own vote is:

    1.Barrera
    2.Hopkins
    2=Morales
    4.De La Hoya (because I don't believe he lost v Tito or Mosley II)
    5.Lewis

    When evaluating a resume, losses MUST be taken into account, otherwise you are getting a false picture.

    Freddie Pendleton has fought:

    Frankie Randall (twice), Roger Mayweather, Livingstone Bramble (twice), Pernell Whitaker, Jorge Paez, Rafael Ruelas, Giovanni Parisi, Tony Lopez, Felix Trinidad, Vince Phillips, James Page, Ben Tackie and Ricky Hatton.

    By the logic you are employing, Pendleton has one of the greatest resumes of the last 20 years.


    His career record is 47-26-5.

    Are you only taking into account wins here? Ok I just read the last post.

    But DLH fought Hopkins at 160 and way past it when fighting a prime Mayweather. So I think these should be taken into account also.

    Not exactly, I am taking losses into account but as losses, I'm not giving people the same credit for a loss as a win.

    You are quite correct in that it is a seriously strong resume and that the paper does not tell the true story, but the fact that although Oscar's resume is strong throughout, very deep and rich in solid competition over a long time - his top 5 wins are Quartey, Vargas, Whitaker (past prime), and... There aren't really any other stellar wins. That is my principle way of evaluating best wins (how high did this guy go in terms of quality victories?), and whereas Oscar may be your choice for overall strength (and he is definitely a good and valid choice, I think he will probably win this poll), he is not mine for said reason. Good call though, cheers for posting mate :good

    Lennox Lewis fought the best that were available during his career (except Bowe, but it was not his fault) and is the only one out of those you've listed that has avenged every loss he suffered.

    Next would be Barrera (you have a case for putting him so high on your list) and De La Hoya for me, pretty solid resumes they have.
