Top fighters of the last twenty years

You must have been watching boxing for 3 years if Pac-Man is over Whitaker or Roy Jones.....Both Jones and Whitaker earned the p4p crown in the ring, beating their closest rivals convincingly and being the man for a decade....so did Mayweather(top 5 p4p for a decade)....Manny got it by default cuz Mayweather retired and only has been 1 or 2 p4p for two or 3 years.

 

1. Roy Jones Jr
2. Pernell Whitaker
3. Floyd Mayweather
4. Manny Pacquiao
6. Evander Holyfield
7. Lennox Lewis
8. Bernard Hopkins
9. Oscar De La Hoya
10. James Toney


something like that.

Lol @ Spud's list. Slick black fighters first, then those semi-brown one dimensional folks last. Apparently being black automatically puts you higher on the list.

You are too black, Spud. Go jump in a pool of bleach.

What are you laughing at?

 

Except... you're talking bollocks.


Mayweather was moved into 1st place after Bernard Hopkins was not given the decision vs Jermain Taylor, not after one of his own performances. Floyd was p4p#7 leading up to the Corrales fight in '01, so he has not been p4p top 5 for 10 years just yet either.


Pernell Whitaker was in a fight with Chavez for 1st place from the time of the Chavez-Taylor fight (1990) until they fought and Pea outboxed him (1993). Jones overtook Pea in many (most?) peoples' eyes when he dominated Toney (Nov '94), and Pea was pretty much out of the running by the time he fought Wilfredo Rivera (Apr '96).

How the **** is that 10 years??? :huh


Roy Jones Jr became a p4p#1 choice in Nov '94, lost top spot to Oscar after the Griffin fight in '97, regained it not long after, lost it again to Mosley in '00, regained it again, lost it to B-Hop, regained it again after beating Ruiz, then lost it for the final time after facing Tarver.

How the **** is that being the man for a decade??? :huh


You should do your research before embarrassing yourself with ignorant posts. :smoke
