    When I think perfect boxer of hitting and not getting hit, its RJ hands down. Toney and Hopkins great fighters themselves, but Rj just schooled them. If Floyd had beaten Pacman or at least Cotto and Margarito he'd be on Rjs level, but no one on Floyds resume matches a Toney or Hopkins.

    To school two hall of famers in their perspective primes or close to it in that manner is incredible ..Who ever came close to beating those like that ever again ?

    You really believe that? I would say most people still favor Pac (although it may be slowly swinging into FLoyds favor).

    no you are wrong. Check any betting place. Floyd will be the favorite almost everywhere.

    IMO no one ever touches Whitaker from 135-140. Cant say the same for Jones 168-175.

    They were all great. Tyson maybe most dominant, and Roy the most dazzling.

    I wouldn't argue that much with Tyson right below Chavez, but I think his faults were always going to come out more than the other 3.
