    -Floyd mayweather
    -Pernell Whitaker

    Pernell is number 1 for me, but Manny or Floyd can surpass him if they win against each other

    I personally have difficulties determining it, Its possible to make a case for all of them.

    Whitaker but Pac is close and a few more big wins would put him over. A win against Floyd would easily put him over.

    I don't know how you can make a case for Hopkins, Mayweather, or Roy Jones Jr.

    I suppose, if you're going strictly H2H, RJJ and Mayweather are possibilities, but if you account for resume or go strictly with resume..

    Well, then it is definitely Pacquiao or Pernell.

    Based on how manny times b-hop has been the underdog and won, his middleweight reign, more weight titles and that he basically is still going strong at 46.

    Jones because of his work and wins over atg in the 90's, amazing skills and capturing belts in many weight divisions going up even winning the heavyweight title, prime jones is a exceptional boxer.

    Floyd, because of his skills of course and accomplishments, but more because he is a potential one, If he beats pacquiao moves up in weight and owns at 160 for example there will be a lot of claims of him being #1. Of course this path is unlikely but I still wanted to include him into the discussion.

    Placing Hopkins ahead of Pacquiao is a strange choice.

    Whitaker
    Jones Jr/Pacquiao
    Hopkins
    Mayweather

    Same here man, but I can also squeeze Chavez and Oscar into that list who I think deserve to be punted about with those names also.
