3. Evander Holyfield
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Lennox Lewis
6. Manny Pacquiao
7. Marco Antonio Barrera
8. Erik Morales

Mike Tyson. His career could have been so much better. Regardless of what happened, he'll still go down in the history books.

Imagine if he had the right people in his corner. He could have been something to fcuk with. Tyson could hella box and he had ridiculous power.

I'm definitely back on the Tyson hype. I think he deserves that much. ALI and Tyson inspired me to box.

I think Tyson's an 80's fighter.

I think you rate Hopkins to high, his best wins came against little men moving up in weight to fight him (Oscar & Trinidad). You can't rate him in the top ten, he was fight welterweights and claimed to be the best middle weight. Other then Tarver name another big man he beat.

First of all Felix Trinidad was the WBA middleweight champ when Hopkins beat him, a 3-1 favorite and the best fighter in the world.

Second, i don't count Oscar among his best wins.

Third, most middleweight champs fight junior middles and others moving up. It happens. See Hagler (Hearns, Leonard, Duran, etc). ****, look at Taylor (Ouma, Spinks, Winky, etc). That's the way it goes.

Thanks for playing.

hard to say since some that fought in the 90's didnt fight in the 2000's...

20 years of dominance isnt easy to come by and the only one that probably qualifies is hopkins and floyd

[totalstranga]

james toney?
