Top 70-100. Why? Can I not be an objective boxing fan if I like Calzaghe?

Anyone who said 1-20 is an idiot... realisitically I think he is RIGHT over 50...

He was the best in a decade. How many other "fighters of the decade" aren't top 20 all time?

I mean reallistically and logically, If you are the fighter of any one decade, than you probably have a good chance of being top 20 all time since there are only 9 other fighters like you in the last 100 years.

reed..roy's 21-30..st8 up best of the 90's

[KiloTeague]

That's not strictly true, is it? He was beaten in his first pro fight.

Unbeatable at 160, he lost his very first professional fight at cruiserweight.

Its depends on what one considers to be P4P best.

My way of looking at P4P ATG is this:If another ATG, 160-175, would get into the ring, prime for prime, against Roy would they win? %99 of the time no, so he easily gets top 20

Another way of looking at it is if you take resume into account, then he is 30-60

Echols also knocked Bernard down. He fought echols twice during the time span you listed as his prime between 96-2001. He won both fights but Echols floored him in one of the fights and almost won. See I knew yall don't really know about Bernard. Yall can look stuff up well, but you weren't living it when it was actually happening, if so, you would have already known Roy Jones was untouchable, and deserves a top 10 ATG seeing as he was awarded fighter of the decade, that at least makes him the best fighter from 90-00.

So in the last 100 hundred years, he is one of 9 people to be the best of his era. I know hed woop any fighter pre 1950. So thats 4 fighters in the last 50 years to be fighter fo the decade, and the last was Roy. And seeing as how evolution works and the best get better and the strongest get stronger than before, Roy is the last of the best a decade so he could be the best ATG.

hopkins was only floored in 1 fight and it was a draw echols never knocked b-hop down
