    Makes you rethink some of the stuff Bushbaby has said though, to see that drastic a switch. That's why I always take a lot of what he says with a grain of salt. He didn't like Floyd, he doesn't like Pac anymore, and most of what he says has that in mind.
    That is certainly a drastic switch. My jaw literally dropped when I saw that post

    The guy is quick to tell you Hopkins is the greatest active fighter but in 09 the only way to have it was Pacman!

      Pascal happened since then. That sealed it.

      Bush is cool, I know you and him get pretty heated but he's just very angry with Pacquiao and Floyd for the choices they have made. I can't fully blame him for that.

        Bushbaby's a good poster, I disagree with a lot of what he's said recently but he's a good poster.

        I do think somewhere between Martinez-Williams and Hopkins-Pascal sent him a little loopy, though.

        I'm still in shock of that post of his from 09 about Pac

            RJJ really didn't have top quality opponents when he was on top. Not his fault in anyway, Pac's resume puts him ahead of RJJ in my eyes. Just to be clear the poll was Top Fighter not Top Boxer. Top Boxer I would of voted for Mayweather.

              Talking about boxing in 2009 was near impossible a cerrain fighters fans infested the internet so badly...thank god that they either learned a bit about the sport or got bored of boxing already.

                Where is Joe Calzaghe? the fact you guys don't like him doesn't mean he shouldn't be in that list.

                He is not the best but definitively has to be there, you may not like him but his work rate was ATG

                  Oscar, closely followed by Mayweather, Roy, and B-Hop.

                      I have not yet decided but Floyd, Lewis, Holyfield and Trinidad are up there

                      At 147 PAc and Floyd have to fight first but in my mind 147 Trinidad and 147 prime Oscar would beat the crap out of Pac at WW. RJJ didn't have that much competition but still had good wins vs B-Hop and James Toney.

                      I will think about it more
