      I think It will be alot clearer 5 years from now and see eveyones career from a far away perspective becuase the mass of people will either pick Mayweather because he is the most dominant fighter right now.

      He still has a few year left but bias will also support Floyd because he is P4P right now if we go forward 5 years it will be much clearer I picked RJJ btw lol

        Out of those options I would say Whitaker but I'm biased and in the minority.
        1990 and above...

          I'm not arguing with you but NEARLY all the greats suffered a loss or 2.
          Some people put too much emphasis on the "0" these days.
          Especially at Heavyweight where even mid-level fighters always have that "Lucky" punch "Equalizer".

          The thing with Lennox for me is he chased those losses and avenged them in style.

              I'd still say Roy Jones he looked unbeatable! for pure achievement you'd have to say Lennox but even though they were avenged those two knockouts did add an air of Vulnerability about him, so I didn't pick him. Jones looked completely unbeatable until he was levelled by Tarver, yeah he fought some ****e fighters but he took the piss out of them unmercifully.. With that said Roy is not the type of fighter who should have continued long passed his early 30's.

              With Mayweather I think he is great, but for some reason I still think he is beatable. I even picked Hatton to beat him though a little half heartedly but I do think someone will get him eventually. I never thought anybody was ever going to get Roy.

                Where the **** is Joe Calzaghe??? He is undefeated and he has been the champ for over 10 years. He is the Greatest Super Middleweight of all time and he dosen't even make the list.

                  I heard Roy Jones lost about 7 rounds in his career Pre-Heavyweight when he went to fight Ruiz

                    I respect your opinion about Roy the only thing I wished Roy would have done was rematch James Toney soon after the first fight and rematch B-HOP a while ago.

                      I agree I forgot to add him. I dont care if someone tells me who has Calzaghe fought, he is still very talented.

                      He makes that list but most of the fighters in there are above him.
