      Not a hater at all. The issue is who was the best of the remaining greats of the generation: Floyd, Roy, and Bernard.

But, of the remaining contenders who was the best in his prime? I'll throw the Mayweather nuthuggers a bone and include lil' Floyd in the mix. Of Hopkins, Jones, and Mayweather, I've got to vote for Hopkins. Yes, Jones beat a young Hopkins, but I do believe the Hopkins of 1997-2000 would have beaten prime Jones. Hopkins was too crafty and would have been able to eventually get in and land on Jones' glass jaw. IMO Mayweather cannot be considered because he dodged the really big hitters, ie..Kostya Tszu, Antonio Margarito, and Miguel Cotto.
        Trevor Berbick is the greatest

                I'd say Jones or Mayweather.

                Hopkins physical peak doesnt coincide with his game's peak.

                Mayweather also spent what could have been his best years (26-28) at his best weights (35-40) quite inactive, fighting bums and going to court, so as spectacular as he was, he spent his peak fighting the worse stretch of opposition of his career.

                      So who did you vote for? I know you would never vote for a "fake white boy" so why include Calzaghe in the list? Evidently, the poll clearly shows that most think RJJ was the best in his prime....surprisingly.
