    who would you put in the top 5 boxers in our era. I would consider our era like 1990 till now. I would have Mayweather 1, Hopkins 2nd, RJJ 3rd, Whitaker 4th, and maybe Lewis 5th. what do you guys think?

    Can't put guys like Mayweather and Whitaker in the same era. Mayweather was winning his first title in 1998, when Whitaker was shot.

    I even think that boxers like Jones and Hopkins are not from the same era as Mayweather and Pacquiao. From all that group, my list is:

    1. Roy Jones
    2. Bernard Hopkins
    3. Floyd Mayweather
    4. Lennox Lewis
    5. Manny Pacquiao

    naw i had have it like this in no order DLH,Bhop,SSM,RJJ, and either chavez ,pea or tito i cant decide.... its weird how the 80's have almost identical as the 90's like DLH will be SRL both very popular olympians good with the public.... hagler would be bhop... the reighning middle weight champ that are hard nosed boxers who never get there credit.... SSM would be duran the guy who game up from light weight to welter an caused havoc.... tito would be hearns the guy who didnt make the olympics an went pro early an had devestating knock out power....... lol kind of weird if you think about it lol

    From 1990 onwards..... I wont include Chavez or Whitaker as they had good yrs prior to 1990 even tho they were still great from then on.

    1. Roy Jones
    2. Mayweather
    3. Morales
    4. Barrera
    5. Delahoya

    Ps. Hopkins & Calzaghe almost made 5th place but I picked Oscar by a hair.
