    Outside of Floyd, I'd add Hopkins at 160, Tank, Ottke, Stevenson.

        As to Rahman Jr, Jake tried to keep him in the fight when he wasn't going to make weight, making concessions, but seems like Jr didn't even try, but now he's got a gig and payday with the slayer of Vander, Viktor Belfort. Will Jr make the scratch line?

        Jake made the Fury and Rahman family look like shyte, and bro Logan made l'l floyd and much of the boxing establishment look like idiots.

        These are Utube celebs, proof boxing in America in the lowest dumps in history.
        I think the paul brothers showed how to market oneself. Boxers should listen.

          The Rahman situation: lets address the whole situation and not any one side here. Lets do an example: "Ok Queen B thats it IMagonna take my free disney tickets (More like free tickets to the Sci Fi museum in Seattle with a restaurant voucher for Vancouver for a week lol to appeal to 'me.) and throw them away to settle this once and for all... Now I weight 250 and (just hypothetically) you weigh 150?... You want me to come in at 170 for our epic battle? You will even sweeten the pot and pay for expenses?"

          See the problem Rahman faced? Now there was money on the table... But would you, or I for that matter, really want to walk into a situation where we were drained and unable? So Rahman came up with a brilliant idea (sarcasm). He realized that if the fight was close and Paul was under the gun Paul would fight him at a reasonable weight... OR NOT, because like Rahman, Paul brother #2 did not want to lose.

          I like the Paul brothers but I blame this on brother #2! He thought he was the only one with an ego, who does not like to lose... Turns out Rahman felt the same way. He should have anticipated this development... The Art of War.

              With Jones, I felt that the fighters he was accused of ducking were all in Europe. He was a champion, and I didn't see why a champion had to chase a challenger fighting in their backyard. I think he was also reluctant to fight on their turf since his robbery in South Korea during Olympics. Outside of that I don't know who else he avoided in the CONUS. He was on a collision course with McCellan until his career ended with a brain injury in the Benn fight. I know Hopkins avoided him at 168 and priced himself out of the original rematch negotiations. He finally agreed to fight him after he was spent, and still tried to get him DQ'd with that pathetic acting job like he was shot in the head.

                yeah thats the way I tend to see it. He really did not want to get "jobbed" again after the Olympics and I don't think the comp was much for him so he could only get jobbed lol. Darius Michaelski was not imo a real threat either.

                  - - Then it would've been a slam dunk for Roy, doubling his standard $5mil HBO purses.

                  Oh, but Roy smarter than you knowing Darius had KOed or otherwise beat several fighters with better results before Roy got to them, a clear and present duck of Darius on the historic eve of him tying Rocky record then.

Not one instance of a top 10 ring magazine contender in their prime. Well maybe one under 34. That's it for their career. They have picked so many cherries their hands are red. And the belt miking between the two! I don't know what to call it.
                    Hell, Wilder is no all time great. Are you insane? He knocked out scrubs and lost to the only good fighter he ever fought who wasn't 100 years old.

                      Khan and Cotto was more to benefit them. Pretty sure Cotto was the one wanting the CW.

                      Didn't Mosley just fight Floyd and Pac the 2 fights before Canelo???
