The top 10 P4P: 1995-Present

Kessler over a prime Hopkins?

 

Yes.

I am confident Kessler would do similar things to Hopkin's opposition.

 

LMAO at Floyd Mayweather over Jones consistently.

 

We're not asking that, we're asking whether he would beat a prime Hopkins, and even if you think he would, does that make him a greater fighter over the past 12 years, considering he has proven none of it?

 

I agree.:good

 

Roy's two biggest wins came prior to 1995, otherwise he outranks Floyd.

 

Calzaghe
Jones
Mayweather
Lewis
Barrera
Eubank
Hopkins
Dela Hoya
Morales
Kessler

living in fairy land

 

I take resume as 50% and ability as 50% in this type of judging. Floyd can't compare to the Jones of 95-2002, therefore that's a big hit on him therefore.

Jones from 95-on also still had some more impressive wins than anything Floyd's ever done. Floyd's resume is grossly an overrated one, the entire prospect of 'resume' is not judged and assessed correctly.

 

What wins from '95 on from Jones were more impressive than Floyd's win over DLH or Hatton?

Floyd's resume is just fine, other than Jones's wins over Toney and Hopkins, it stacks up nicely, his career even better. But it seems you take ability into it a bit more strongly than I do, so we have different criteria.

 

Well he`s been world champ for nearly 11 of those yrs, world champion and avoided like the plague, who ever stepped up went home beaten.
So yeah i`d say P4P no problem, no argument!!!
Hopkins ran away in the 11th hr and you put a coward like him above Calzaghe. Your a comedian

 

DLH and Hatton are impressive wins?

Hatton is not even an impressive fighter, period. He was wrongly P4P ranked for too long and was wrongfully overrated because nobody can seem to blatantly see how limited he is/was. The outcome of Floyd by KO was as clear as crystal before it happened, check some of my threads prior to the fight.:yep:good

The only thing that was unimpressive was Floyd taking several rounds to get in the groove against such a limited fighter like Hatton, and being too ultra defensive instead of coming out with the correct gameplan to throw combinations.

DLH, please.

Jones had consistent good wins, one including a wide UD over a ranked HW, cleaned LHW clean of everyone but Michalczewski and DOMINATED everyone up until Tarver, where the decline showed it's ugly face.

It's not just the 'win', it's 'how the fight was won' that should be judged also. Floyd going close with DLH is not an impressive win.

 

He has outclassed everyone. Completely and utterly outclassed elite fighters like Kessler and Eubanks. Completely and utterly outclassed them in a which Hopkins, Ray Robinson cannot do. In a way which only the Calzaghe's, Jones and Ray Leonards can.
