    Mayweather and Pacquiao are givens. The others would vary greatly but Wlad deserves to go on there just due to his longevity. The last spot is the one up for grabs.

    Also as a quick question, if Froch were included would the carving be of his nose pre-op or after?

    The best, not favorites right?

    Jones, Hopkins, Floyd, Manny.

    Edit: Damn I forgot about Lennox. I want to squeeze him in but it feels wrong to have Floyd or Manny up there without the other, I already feel bad not including JMM. Whitaker and Chavez were too old atm and Oscar and Mosley lose out to Floyd and Manny on legacy despite being H2H forces in their primes with comparable resumes.

    Wladimir, Vitali, Kovalev and Super Joe

    15 years from now it will most likely be Loma, Usyk, Kovalev and Wladimir

    20 years goes back to 1997.

    I would say Pacquaio, Floyd, Wlad,

    Last spot is tricky Hopkins has a case for it. So does Calzaghe. Lennox maybe but he was only around for 5 years of it. Jones was past it and racked up a lot of losses he's out. De La Hoya has a claim.

    Interesting for 4th selection. I think first 3 are locks

    Let's add one of Margo on the end but make that one out of plaster rather than rock.

    I am too lazy to consult boxrec for the timeline, but would Chavez and sweetpea still great at that time period?
