    Agree with those 5, but i order i'd have it like this:

    1) Roy Jones Jr
    2) Sugar Ray Robinson
    3) Pernell Whitakar/ Sugar Ray Leonard
    5) Thomas Hearns


    I had a hard time deciding between Leonard and Whitakar so either thake 3rd and 4th. Hearns would probably be number 1 on the list if it wasn't for his chin. Roy is the best fighter i've ever seen in the ring ever, in his prime i dont see anyone beating him at 160-168. SRR is 2nd, was well ahead of his time and is the very best P4P in boxing history IMO, when combining achievements with talent

    Tyson - Sheer speed, explosiveness, power, skill. The complete fighter whom on his best night, I would favour anyone in history.

    Lennox Lewis - His sheer size alone would make him huge problem for any pre 90's fighters and so far, no fighter other than Tyson IMO would be favoured over him. This is LL on his best night, im very aware hes 1 shot away from getting KTFO by a huge puncher.

    RJJ - Prime, he was superman from MW to LHW.

    SRL - IMO SRL beats SRR.

    SRR/Hearns - SRR over Hearns but Hearns provided a stylistic nightmare over some fighters whereby he is almost guaranteed a win. SRR has beaten enough ATG's and HOF to warrant him in this top 5.

    He did. The De Jesus was more of an off night though, he came back to rectfiy it twice also, he did beat Leonard.

    I was thinking this was a p4p best weight class thing?

    Kinda: Duran @ 135, Floyd @ 130 etc.

    SRR lost to Pender multiple times, Archer, LaMotta, Giardello, Moyer, Fullmer, Basilio, Turpin and even lesser bums.

    Ali lost to Norton, Berbick, Holmes, Frazier, etc.

    All the guys you named that Duran lost to were bigger greats, aside from Dejesus, who was facing an unmotivated Duran and whom Duran beat by stoppage in two rematches. Duran's prime was at Lightweight, his losses to much bigger fighters past his prime don't affect that.

    I presume H2H means head to head in normal language....

    Thus how the hell have you not got five Heavyweights there?

    Duran was fun in the late 70s, but Tyson, Ali, Louis all beat him in an head to head match-up! ;)
