    I love Tyson but the way RJJ shitted on a peak Toney in 94 leaves no doubt in my mind of what he was in his heyday.

    I'd like to know more about Penerall Whittaker, but I think the answer is quite clearly a boxer excluded from your list, Pernell Whitaker.

    Best as in being perceived unbeatable/ability to destroy opponents - Jones, Prime Tyson, current Pac, Whitaker, Mayweather (tho he wasted alot of his prime, could be higher).
