your top 5 best fighters of the last 40 years

Agreed. I think your talking about the best 130 pound fighter ever. Then when you add the other resume on top he has to be in contention for the top 10 of at least the past 40 years

 

McVey will still charge you with "Ali Negativity". It's a very serious charge.

Nunn was a tremendous boxer.

No love for Toney or Oscar?

 

Brilliant but he doesn't belong in this discussion.

 

Pretty solid list. I'd put Whitaker above Hearns. I'd put Leonard above Hearns, as well.

 

I'd put Nunn in the top 10. Not sure about Oscar, and, especially, Toney

 

No he is not.he probably should be in hof but for heavens sake Holyfield mike spinks Marquez and Barrera haven't been mentioned yet.all undoubtedly ahead of nunn.

 

A career middle who was the best fighter of the early 90's and fought up at heavy without getting knocked out AND has some great names on his resume? He's up there for sure.

 

Surprised no one mentioned mccallum he is adored on this forum.i thought toney was robbed in their draw.and toney won the second aswell.their third was insignificant,mccallums stock had fallen drastically.also griffin and peter 1 were bad decisions against toney.james toney was great fighter and very entertaining fighter.but there are a fair few fighters ahead of him in a top 5 p4p list of the last 40 years.

 

1) Ray Leonard
2) Duran
3) Mayweather
4) Whitaker
5) Michael Spinks
