    I'm not sure what generation we're talking about. I would think this generation meant Cotto, Williams, etc.

    But my pics for the generation I think we are speaking of;

    ODLH
    Quartey
    Trinidad
    Mosley
    Barrera
    Forrest
    Hopkins
    Mayweather
    Wright

    How does Judah get on ahead of PBF on anyones list? Judah was not only beaten by PBF in a head to head, but he has accomplished less, beaten far less good fighers, lost to Baldomir who PBF beat with ease and been destroyed once, taken apart bit by bit and stopped another time and also lost to Spinks.

    :lol: So true, judah for me is talented, very talented, but only from the aspect of raw talent, he hasnt achieved what he should have/could have, fighters like pbf, lopez,calderon, barrera, jones etc achieved what they should have, judah wasted his talent, therefore gets less points from me

    That list is terrible. I am no Floyd fan, but he most certainly belongs on there at 2nd.

    I dont think judah wasted his talent I believe his father is the reason he's lost all but the kostya fight His father yells at him keeps him on edge and they never have a clear plan if he seperates from his dad he might be come champ again

    But he still falls short when compared to the talent he has/had, regardless of wht got in the way, father or not, he must lack self discipline, mental control (which he shows he does lack...pbf fight, cottos fight) therefore he gets less recognition from me. but thats my opinion, not saying its right or wrong, just my opinion

    Hamed?? I actually know where your coming from, but I would put barrera above him, not just because he beat him, but as overall fighter/talent....its s wide subjective term, is it raw talent? learned skill? etc????? Hamed had talent in spades, but he falls short in some areas compared to others in my opinion, defo not 4th anyway:good I still dont understand why people dont put JMM, Lopez, Calderon above some of these others, but again, its subjective

    Naz I think despite beating all of the champions pretty much at 126, is one of the BIGGEST wasted talents that I have ever seen.

    He could clown other world champions like they were nothing at all. Also I personally think he is in the top 2 or 3 p4p hitters of all time.

    Barrera would be top 10 though.

    I agree, he wasted his talent, i saw almost all his fights, and I agree with p4p hardest hitter, massive puncher, especially considering his technique. But, like I said, Its hard to define the term talent in this context, in my opinion, JMM is near the top, with floyd and RJJ, hamed could be 4th, but I think I have others above him, but again, Im not actually arguing with ya mate, its all subjective anyway, I was just surprised you had hamed there at 4th, not because I dont rate him, I almost admitted him/forgot him :yep
