Top 15 fighters of the last 15 years

[Silencers]

Lopez was definitely in my consideration, but then I remembered Evander. It's easy to forget about all the good things Holyfield has done, especially in recent years.

Give me your list Silencers, I'm honestly curious about yours. You're one of few very knowledgable guys who still come to NSB for discussions.

I generally agree with yours, I'd just replace Hopkins with Jones at the top, put Mosley a little lower or replace him entirely with Lewis and maybe take out JMM and put in Ricardo Lopez instead and maybe drop Chavez down because he was going downhill by '93 but it's a good list. Tszyu barely gets left out.

[ßringer]

yeah, he's his number one fan. thats why he has Bernard Hopkins at number one.

anyway..

1. Joe Calzaghe
2. Bernard Hopkins
3. Mikkel Kessler
4. Peter Manfredo Jr
5. Sakio Bika
6. Jeff Lacy
7. Evans Ashira
8. Mario Veit
9. Kabary Salem
10. Mger Mkrtchian
11. Byron Mitchell
12. Tocker Pudwill
13. Miguel Angel Jimenez
14. Charles Brewer
15. Will McIntyre

I knew it was only a matter of time.

My criteria is that the fighter had to have at least had 1 fight in the last 15 years. If he was past his prime, like Pea was, you take into consideration all he's done before that, and decide for yourself if you wish to include him, or omit him.

So you are considering Pea's entire career and he is below BHop?

Sorry man, I know it is all opinion and I love BHop, but that is just fked up.

Who are your top 15 fighters of the last 15 years? Try to put them in order if you can.

My List

1.) Bernard Hopkins
2.) Roy Jones Jr.
3.) James Toney
4.) Pernell Whittaker
5.) Floyd Mayweather Jr.
6.) Oscar De La Hoya
7.) "Sugar" Shane Mosley
8.) Julio Cesar Chavez
9.) Felix Trinidad
10.) Manny Pacquiao
11.) Joe Calzaghe
12.) Marco Antonio Barrera
13.) Erik Morales
14.) Juan Manuel Marquez
15.) Evander Holyfield

Wlad, Vitali, Kostya Tszyu and Louis should all be on there, but there is no room lol. I don't think Trinidad should be up there.

Nice substitutes. Honestly I can't believe I included Evander and didn't even think of Lennox. In my defense, I slept all day and just woke up about an hour ago.

Tszyu was in my consideration also, and would've made the list if I had done a top 20 instead, but as you say, he barely misses the bus on this one.

[Pride Of Arkans]

Trinidad is one of the eras greatest fighters
as well as being one of the best to ever box at 147 and 154
he would walkthrough guys like Cotto, Margarito, Williams and Mosley.

I'd replaced Hopkins for Lockett, and Lacy for Tye Fields.

It's only opinion man, and as I said. What I'm trying to accomplish here is to get as many users as I can, to make a list of their own (not criticsize mine), and then count the number of times each guy in mentioned. The top 15 guys who get the most mention will make the top 15 list in order of number of votes cast.

what have the bitchko brothers done to be on the list

I believe you. Lewis definitely deserves to be on the list.
