    TS just wanted a rough estimate on how many *******s and Floydiots roam NSB. So I picked Adamek.

      Was this in terms of skill or resume?

        I voted for Roy Jones jr.. Simply, because he has accomplished far more then any of the other fighters on there.. He may be declining now, and has been for a while, but yuo can't deny his accomplishments.

        A guy I think we will be talking about as one of the greatest of our era's is Arthur Abraham. When it's all said and done, and his career comes to an end.. I think we will be looking at one of the best ever.

          Roy Jones is the greatest fighter I've ever seen perform. There are a lot of great fighters on that list, but Roy could do things I'll be very surprised if I see someone able to mimic again.

            Kind of like this: when people look back at the present time, the end of the first decade of the new millineum, who will be remembered as the greatest?

            I think Pacquiao. If he stops Cotto, than it's without a doubt.

              Oh just within these two years? The winner of Pacquiao-Mayweather. If Pacquiao beats Cotto, that further shows he can deal with a bigger man and if he loses to Mayweather then he lost because of skill and not size.

                No, whether he defeats Cotto or not, he'll still be a little guy. If he loses to Mayweather, size will obviously be a factor. Floyd knows how to use his height and those long arms.

                If Mayweather and Pacquiao were the same size, I believe it would be an easy KO for Manny.

                  Really? Thats saying a lot. If anyone could easily KO Mayweather they would deserve the greatest boxer title.

                    And Cotto doesn't know how to use his size? Oscar doesn't know how to use his height and jab? Lol. Cotto is bigger then Mayweather.

                    If Manny loses to Floyd it's because of Floyd's better defense and skill. Manny isn't that much smaller then Floyd anyway. The only thing is the longer arms and Pacquiao can deal with that.

                    Pacquiao knows how to fight against people who have the size advantage.
