I put a great emphasis on the 2 sets of criteria here Resume and Skillset and While Pac might just edge BHOP on Resume Bernards Skillset is superior not to mention the way he has come back from his losses to Taylor and Calzaghe which were all close fights, He annihalates Tarver and Pavlik who were both top 10 pound for pounders at the time.
when dela hoya losses to mosley(dela hoya won over trinidad anyway), it made it clear that the almost 5-year(95-99) p4p king in dela hoya was not really the best fighter of the 1990s...everybody concedes that to jones who only been p4p king for 2 years...early fights in the new decade would really have a bearing
I think Pac is a great fighter and is one of my favourites but im a bit surprised hes running away with this poll i think Bhop will be better appreciated when he retires.

Hard for me to vote man, I like all those guys and have them all as #1. If I'm forced then it's Pacquiao but will leave my vote out of it. Mayweather vs Pacquiao and future fights these guys get involved in should make it easier.
