    Pretty good list but I think Holyfield and Lewis deserve to be on it not just honorablely mentioned.Lewis beat every fighter he ever stepped in the ring with.....I would drop Trinidad and Morales and add them.Tito did not beat oscar everyone knows that no matter what it says on his record and Morales was a very good fighter but not one of the 10 best of the past 10 years but he does deserve the honorable mention.......other than that I agree with you.

      You put Trinidad and not Lewis? Lewis has done much more in the heavyweight division than Trinidad has done in his divisions... He should be on the list...

          Pretty good list, I suppose, however, Manny Pacquiao and Evander Holyfield shouldn't be honrable mentions, they should have made the list.

            Your facts are just plain wrong - Barrera has only won major titles in two divisions, Morales three, and De La Hoya in six.

            Plus the list is ****e.

                First of all take Calzaghe out of there, other than Lacy, Reid (who arguebly beat him and didnt get a rematch) and eubank (way past it) he aint fought top fighters, lol@ evans ashira. Not that he cant fight, but he don't belong in that list, ever. lol

                Second of all, its a good list.

                I find the treatment of Roy Jones Jr Disgustin, the same people who claim he fought nobodies are the same people who will tell you Hopkins is the greatest MW of all time lmao. rediculous.

                ''Roy Jones Didnt fight nobody'': Nah course he didnt, he only easily beat up a prime james toney for 12 rounds and easily decisioned hopkins too, not to mention a win over tarver in the first fight, and winning a title at heavyweight after starting at 160.

                ''But he ducked Darius Michael...whatever his name is''.... lol,.... grow up.

                I like hopkins as a fighter, but fighting robert allen 3 times, a blown up tito and De La Hoya dont get him 2nd on my list, nevertheless, he is techinically awesome fighter.

                And Morales should be up there higher, how was he not P4P number one in the world when he was moving up weights, taking people's belts and then giving them back again? lol, nope, they gave it to hopkins instead lol.

                Prime morales was technically awesome to watch, his jabs, he had one of the most accurate uppercuts of the time, and his movement were top-noch, he didnt have to go all macho and smack the **** outta fighters, but he did, why?.... cos he could.

                Nice list man.

                  I'm always surprised how much credence people lend to the concept of "multi weight" titlists.

                    Toney was not in his prime, he was weight drained from the fight, the commentators even mention it. Hopkins was green at the time and a better fighter now. Both were good style-match ups as well for Jones. The decision over Tarver was controversial which allowed the rematch to happen, in which Jones was knocked out in the second round. The title he won was against Ruiz, another good match for Jones.
