    Pac IMO. he has had much better opposition at his disposal than all of the others (aside from PBF). PBF opted to retire leaving a few questions unanswered. RJJ and holyfields achievements are at war with the way they are ending their careers, much like tyson did, but not quite as extreme.

        Achievements? So the category doesn't emphasize the level of competition?

        Pac- 5 division Champ
        Holyfield - Light-heavy ATG
        Joe-20+ defenses

          I'd agree with Hopkins if he were on this list. But from this lineup I'd have to go for prettyboy. At the end of next year I think Pacman will go past him though, unless Floyd comes out of retirement to knock manny off his perch.

            Yes, and Holyfield never fought at LHW as a professional.

                I consider roy jones in his prime to be unbeatable, maybe only hopkins could have beaten him. Im not a betting man but if i was i would put my money on roy.

                Skill wise, most the fighters on this list are better then roy. Thats why he fell off after he lost his speed. It all depends on what criteria you go by, but i picked mayweather because of skill and athleticism. His resume speaks for itself

                  Holyfield was the greatest cruiserweight of all time (doesn't say all that much really) and one of the greatest heavyweights of all time (possibly top 15).

                  Defeated two of the best cruiserweights of all time Qawi and DeLeon, defeated Tyson and Bowe + old Foreman, old Holmes, Douglas, Moorer, Mercer, Dokes.

                    not many former 106 lbers can defeat former middleweight titlists at 147.
