The top 10 P4P: 1995-Present

Mayweather is the best from 1895 to present.

 

You rate Mosley above Jones on talent, accomplishments, and record?

 

While I agree with all your lists, this Oscar hate is pissing me off. Sure he is a bit sullied now but to go back and ignore him in the nineties is blasphemy to boxing history. Here's a history check.

"Oscar de la Hoya became Ring Magazine's "fighter of the year" in 1995 and Ring Magazine's best "Pound for Pound" fighter in the world in 1997."

 

I would say, from my vast knowledge, the Mayweather clan invented boxing after perfecting it with the discovery of the mythical Check Hook. At first no one knew what to make of the Check Hook or what it was used for until a small sprightly lad of the Hatton clan tripped face first into it. The rest is history.

 

I can agree to disagree on Mayweather over Jones. But Mosley? His resume is dwarfed by not only Jones, but many others. He has only beaten one great fighter. And accomplishment wise is dwarfed by many as well.

 

Calzaghe
Jones
Tszyu
Guzman
Mayweather
Lewis
Kessler
(prime focused) Robin Reid
Pacman
Barrera


(this list is serious, only down to number 6)

 

1. Roy Jones Jr
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr
3. Bernard Hopkins
4. Lennox Lewis
5. Manny Pacquiao
6. Joe Calzaghe
7. Marco Antonio Barrera
8. Erik Morales
9. Shane Mosley
10. Oscar De La Hoya

 

Calzaghe by Quality of Opposition in the Top 10??????

Seriously hes a good fighter and is P4P caliber but going by quality of opposition I definately have to disagree with him being on that list.

 

Your attidute towards Calzaghe would reflect badly on Hopkins, were he to ever fight (and inevitably lose) him.

 

You put Reid in there because he arguably beat Calzaghe? What other reason?

 

Pacman
Barrera
Kessler
Hopkins

Are my true 7-10.

 

It is a difficult concept to accept. This idea that there are people out there that would seriously pick Hopkins over Calzaghe.

But then I have to remind myself, these people are Americans.
