      No. Jones and Hopkins were one and two for a long ass time, and both were regarded as the sports best.

        having 0 loss doesn't mean immortality

          I thought Bhop only fought blown up welters...

              The best that the welterweight division can bring.

                Back then Floyd was not that well known at all, some people did consider him to be the best back then but it was kind of like something to do to look in the know I don't know if people really believed that or not.

                It is funny to think about how far Floyd has come because really that was not that long ago.

                  It would be similar to saying Paul Williams is the best P4P currently, although I think Floyd was more highly regarded to the hard core fans at that point then Willaims is currently but it is close enough. Chad Dawson would also work.

                    Hell no. RJ was the man at the top that list for a long time, and most didn't even think about it.
