That's a good point. It's Jones, Floyd and Pac than.

Floyd
Roy
Hopkins

imo

Roy got huge wins against Hopkins[Both fighters first major title fight], Toney, McCallum in 93-96. Which IMO are the top 3 best wins of his career. Of course he has Gonzalez, Tarver, Ruiz, Hill, Harding, Griffin, Woods, Del Valle, Paz on his resume, but i'm just saying top 3. All i'm saying is, it's safe to actually say, who's the best fighter since the Whitaker and Jones era, not Whitaker alone. I just can't ignore Roy's wins over Hopkins, Toney and McCallum in the early-mid 90s.

So my answer is Floyd, B-Hop, Marquez. As the three best fighters since Whitaker and Jones.

I agree on these three and I think Chavez and Trinidad were just as good as Whitaker PFP.

I dont think they could be just as good if they had fights where they were totally dominated in, espically Chavez who was dominated by Pea himself. How could he be P4P better?

I would say Roy Jones.

Closely followed by Mayweather and Pacquaio.

McCallum was well passed it.

I don't even consider it an overly good win for Roy. He has much better.
