Top 10 African American Boxers Since 1990

Sweet Pea is #1 on my list but I guess I'm biased. And that decision for DLH was a shame.

No it wasn't and unless you can come up with a convincing argument as to why it was such a "shame" take your lips away from Whitaker's penis and keep your mouth closed.

Great list and right on the money. Also some people are slow because jrose said since "1990". Sweet p was great in the late 80's but by the mid 90's he had declined tremedously.

That's still half of a decade you dolt

This thread totally shows peoples age. Lot of these posters werent here for the 90s greats.
For me.

1. Jones
2. Whitaker
3. Mayweather
4. Bhop
5. Holyfield

Fact is RJJ fought nothing but bums in his prime and was never the lineal champ of a division.

Floyd in the other hand is a 2 division lineal champ, with a better overall resume than Jones.

Floyd>>>>>>>>>>>Roy

that was funny but i agree with you... i love all the fighters on the list
..its just so easy for people to forget the roy from the 90's ..after ..well you know

You have to take into account when they fought those guys buddy.

I might swtch Del valle with Kelly though

Gerena was a better fight than Augustus and Sosa was better than manfredy skills wise, not resume wise so I can change those 2.


But you got the point!!!

Kid,

You will never see another roy jones in your lifetime. he was years ahead of the field in terms of sheer god given ability. were talking reflexes, hand eye coordination, speed, etc etc. jones fought with his f'n hands down and dominated people. he wasnt in the toughest era in terms of competition, but wins over hopkins/toney are great no matter how u slice it. jones accomplishments were hall of famr worthy, but in terms of natural ability he's so far ahead of anyone ive ever seen it's not even funny.

most people onthis thing didnt get to see the prime jones. the guy made me laugh with 1/2 the stuff he use to do. like i said we're never gonna see a guy win the fighter of the decade award by fighting with his f'n hands down. are u kidding me.

No, just no..

- Roy was awarded as FOTD
- Fighter of the year 1994
- 4 Division Champion
- First Middleweight to win Heavyweight title over 100 years
- Undisputed Lightheavyweight Champion

With those mentioned. I agree that Roy should be #1 followed by Pernell then Bhop and Floyd

Blacks and Mexicans run boxing.

While that may be true you don't have to front us out like that, what if a white boy said we run this **** in America ?
That **** would be fkk'd up, if you think having a black president means we have control over anything here you need to do some research, besides the whole racial thing is low.

Anderson Silva is the new Roy Jones Jr.
