Top 5 boxers in our era??

i was under the same assumption :huh :think

My list would be (havent decided on order so ill just list em)

Jones
Mayweather
Hopkins
Pacquiao
Barrera

if calzaghe beats jones then ill give him the 5th spot...otherwise my doubts will persist in keeping him off the list

 

No Whitaker?

 

Whitaker and Roy Jones are the two stand out H2H fighters of my era. That is all.

 

I have them in order, but of course its close and all have strong arguments for being number 1

1 - Roy Jones
2 - Pernell Whitaker
3 - Bernard Hopkins
4 - Lennox Lewis
5 - Floyd Mayweather jr

 

:thumbsup :thumbsup

 

I think anyone who doesn't include Lennox Lewis on this list is dumb.

 

I just think that Sweet Pea was so good 1990-95 that I have to include him.


But if you discounted him along with Chavez and Holyfield, which would be perfectly valid as well, then I would replace him with Oscar De La Hoya.

 

Post Tyson era
Jones Jr.
Hopkins
Mayweather
Chavez
De LaHoya (because of his overall impact)

 

I don't care if one of these choices is biased fan boy crap, I'm going to include him anyway for sheer talent alone he deserves a place:

1. Prince Naseem Hamed
2. Lennox Lewis ("The legitimate, linear, internationally recognized, undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World" - How can he NOT be on the list?
3. Roy Jones Jr.
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Kostya Tszyu

 

Biased fanboy crap.

Hamed greater than Jones Jr, Hopkins and Lewis? Laughable.

Tszyu greater than Mayweather Jr, De La Hoya, Ricardo Lopez, Pacquiao, Barrera, Morales, Toney, Trinidad, Calzaghe, Winky Wright, JM Marquez, Mosley? I disagree.

 

PBF
MAB
RJJ
Morales
Bhop

 

Really? I thought what with you being such a big Hamed fan we would be on the same page.

 

I thought with you being so big on boxing knowledge and general sanity we would be on the same planet. But as usual, your infantile and irrational love of Hamed sets you apart from adult boxing fans, and on the far-off Planet Fanboy.

 

lewis
rjj
hopkins
pbf
pac

 

are you on your period or something? :huh
