    Very good but I'd switch PBF with Jones. I think Jones dominated for a longer period of time.

    de la hoya is worthy of his position if not higher.In 1995 he destroyed molina ruelas hernandez and leija four highly credible foes.If it had been 1996-2007 oscar might not have made the list

    Well, I think DLH might make a top 20 P4P list between 1995 and Present, but top 10? Nahhh....there are definitely 10 that have done more than he has.

    So there are 10 who have won titles in 5 divisions(since '95), taking on the very best of their era constantly?

    forget james toney after roy jones took him to school in 1994 he did very little that mattered apart from beating jirov and the ruiz fight was no-contest so it may aswell have never happened

    Holyfield, McCallum. Albeit both past their primes.

    Toney is a bit overrated yes, but I thought I'd squeeze him in considering he took on all comers from SMW to HW in between those times, winning titles at every stop.

    very nice list :good

    Although spots 4 5 and 6 are almost interchangable really, morales/tito/paquiao all busted their ass big time.

    lol, wow someone made a list on quality of opposition. Good to see someone acknowledges the death walk that top 5 fighters took. Just as important in my eyes.

    If we are talking 1995 to present then yes, he ruled as pound for pound from 96 to at least 99.

    He was on the cover of Ring magazine as pound for pound during those years, wasn't he? Could be wrong, but I know it was one of them years.
