Top 15 Greats fighters since the last 10 years

[Parody]

I will do. Just to prove myself wrong. Can't see me coming out with any different conclusions, though....

You should do, McCallum is an all time great and he got robbed against a Prime Toney once while McCallum was fighting way out of his prime.

In no particular order (since 1990):

Jones
Toney
Whitaker
Lopez
Morales
Barrera
Holyfield
Lewis
Mayweather
Trinidad
De La Hoya
Hopkins
Tszyu

Trouble with the last two slots...those I am pretty confident with however. this is off the top so I probably left some people out.

Close fight, back and forth, calling it a robbery either way is an incorrect use of the term.

[brownpimp88]

ring magazine ranks holyfield very high and he isnt in your top 15 of last 15 years.

its Last 10 years...which means most of the accomplishments would be after 1997 in which holyfield has'nt done much his record from 1997 is 7-5-2

he was lucky to get a draw against Lewis, which should have really been a loss, now if I did talk about the last 15 years, holyfield would have easily been there. I have no problem with someone putting him there after 97.

Also he got lucky he got a draw with Ruiz (and I ****ing Hate ruiz's boring style, i dont even want to see him fight)

[brownpimp88]

It would have been better if holyfield retired after the lewis fight, his career from 2000 and onwards is very irrelevant to me. His legacy from beating qawi till fighting lennox will live on forever.

[GEOFFHAYES]

I remember all the British commentaries and magazines thinking McCallum was robbed against Toney - David Brenner and Jimmy McDonald on Eurosport spoke with shock in their voice when it was scored a draw (Jimmy said "Toney looks well pleased!") and Alan Minter on Sky had McCallum winning by tonnes of points.

I haven't seen the fight for 15 years, though.

At the time, I think I did score it for McCallum (in my mind, kind of thing, I think) but maybe the biased commentary towards McCallum swung me into seeing it that way.

[GEOFFHAYES]

Greatest of the last 15 years..

De La Hoya
Mayweather
Toney
Whitaker
Chavez
Jones
Tszyu
Barrera
Morales
Calzaghe

If Hatton beats Castillo in June, I'd swap him for Calzaghe. But if Calzaghe beats Hopkins in July, I'd swap him back for Hatton.

Ricardo Lopez had no defining fights because nobody could touch him at the weight, if I'm not mistaken. The few occasions I saw him he was a master technician, though.


Biggest waste of talent of the last 15 years, by far Chris Eubank.
