    Floyd Mayweather Jr. is for sure better than Hopkins. Pacquiao, Vitali, Shane Mosley and Calzaghe are at least not worse.

          Jones is better in the 90's because he got KTFO in the 2000's. and Calzaghe shouldn't be in the same breathe as pacquiao

                Jones for 2000+?

                Jones only great win after 2000 was probably Ruiz.

                Calzaghe did well but better than PBF and Bhop? I dont think so.

                  I agree wit those who said Bhop, Pac, and PBF bein the top 3 as of now, but not sure who's exactly where.

                    I really dont see how PBF cant be considered the best of the 2000-2010 decade thus far. I mean all of his best wins started in early 2000s where as other guys like Jones best was before 2000 or Hopkins defenses go back before 2000.

                    PBF beat
                    Corrales, Castillo, Hernadez, Chavez, Corley, Sharmba, Gatti, Zab, Baldo, DLH, Hatton

                    Thats a pretty good list, sure there are a few he didnt face like Casamayor, Cotto ect but you can say that for every fighter.

                      The question is "Is he the best of the last decade", at 18 motherfuckers voted "NO! Not Close!".

                      That's staggering to me.

                      In the Past 10 years Hopkins has fought..........

                      Pavlik

                      Who else even comes close to that? Roy? In the last decade Roy's faced.....

                      Frazier
                      Johnson
                      Telesco
                      Hall
                      Harding
                      Harmon
                      Gonzalez
                      Kelly
                      Woods
                      Ruiz
                      Tarver
                      Tarver
                      Johnson
                      Tarver
                      Ajamu
                      Hanshaw
                      Trinidad
                      Calzaghe
                      Sheika

                      In the last decade Hopkins is 15-3, with landmark wins over Prime Tito, Oscar, Winky, Pavlik, and Tarver. And even his 3 losses were close, razor thin decisions that are hotly debated to this day.

                      In the last decade Roy is 15-4, with landmark wins over Tarver the first time (which should've been another loss), Ruiz, Woods, Hanshaw, and the bloated corpse of a guy who looks like Felix Trinidad.


                      Roy, you can make a case for, and I wouldn't fault you for. But who else could possibly be above Hopkins in the last 10 years?

                      Mayweather? He doesn't even come close. Pacquiao? Doubtful.
