    I voted Toney when it should have been Lewis.

    RJ was placed so high despite losing because he was a former middle who won a portion of the HW title. He also dominated every championship fight like no other without controversy until the 1st tarver fight in his late 30s (clear cut win for RJ to me). Hopkins has to be considered an ATG regardless of his losses, but he did lose early in his career to #1 and late in his career to #4 while everyone else on the list will retire undefeated after JC beats Roy.

    Anyone that voted for DLH while leaving out Trinidad is insane. At absolute worst they are even, with entirely too much of he same opposition (most of which Tito fought first btw) and not much distinguishing them from each other apart. But whatever, a popularity contest is a popularity contest.

    In no particular order

    DLH
    Trinidad
    Mayweather
    Pacman
    Lewis

    No it doesn't, all of Trinidad's title fights fall within the last 15 years, none of Holyfields great cruiser legacy or the vast bulk of his heavy work fall within the last 15 years. Apart from a couple of wins - the last 15 years pretty much document Holyfields decline.
