    Or does that already go to Roy Jones?

    Roy is a 90's fighter.

    2000's belong to pac based on resume.
    Floyd's talent puts him in league with whitaker and pep for ATG status.

    Pac is in league with armstrong and pryor for offensive mastery.

    It's all subjective based on what styles you think are best.

    But at the same time if Floyd manages to dominate Pac if the fight takes place, wouldn't it be hard to pick against him as the best of the generation?

    Sure he's had close fights against DLH and Castillo for instance, but every fighter does occasionaly, including Pac.

    I favor offensive fighters and guys who throw killer body shots.
    Slick boxers make some people cream their pants.

    It's all a preference.

    Exactly. Jones belongs the era BEFORE the current one. Mayweather and Pac are the only two real contestants for best of the current era.

    Roy wins the James toney/Hopkins/RJJ debate.

    Not the morales/barrera/pac/may debate.

    Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter of this generation. One fight is not the difference.

    Whoever wins will be rated higher than Jones, so yes, the winner takes it all.

    um....:huh

    Floyd has is a better in fighter, out fighter, better body attack, better defense and is more accurate than Manny, Floyd has been on the P4P list since the 90's.....Floyd 18th fight he was world champion, it took Pac over 30 fights and was knocked out twice in those 30 fights......

    2000-2009 belongs to Pacquiao after all he is the fighter of the decade for that decade. 2010-2019 belong to the new generation unless Pacquiao and Mayweather will keep fighting. IMO, Pacquiao will(should) retire soon. He won a ****ing congressional seat in the Philippines. If he keeps boxing, I think he'll lose.

    Okay.

    Why you're bringing up manny to me when I talk about my favorite fighters is puzzling, but whatever.
