Top 10 African American Boxers Since 1990

Not to say anything bad but you put Hernandez as an 'B' win but put guys like Gatti and JMM (even though he was smaller), at 'C'? Then you got guys like Gerena and Sosa over guys like Augustus and Manfredy?

Then you have guys like Derrick Harmon and Del Valle at 'C' while having Glenn Kelly at 'B'?

I was going to say something about that too.

Theres no reason to **** on Floyds resume, especially now being he is 32.

I have a problem with ****ting on Roys resume to UP Floyds.

And I stand by what I say, beating the best fighter in the division is better than beating the lineal titlist.

They both have their accolades.

Floyd has 6 titles in 5 divisions.

Roy has four divisions, he's also a 3 time LHW champion... he also set a record going from having a MW title to a heavyweight title... then he REGAINED the LHW title after winning a HW title which is another record.

They both have their own seperate accolades.

No one is debating otherwise, other than Champboxa, who I feel is honestly autistic and burner who is pretty damn ias in floyds favor.

Lineal championships don't mean everything. I have no problem with people ranking Jones in front of Mayweather, the man ruled the sport in the 90s and for a third of the 2000s, ranked pound for pound number 1 for almost 10 years, fighter of the decade in the 90s, first fighter in a 100 years to win titles at middleweight and at heavyweight, first fighter in a 100 years to win a heavyweight title and move back down to light heavyweight to win a title. I believe he held 6 titles in 4 different weight classes. The lack of lineal titles should not hold him back.

I'm glad you said that. It get's thrown around way too much on here.

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.

You will never see another Mayweather either.

I dint come in here and even mention Roy Jones.

I just wont let people go around act like Floyd has a Calaghe like resume because thats not true.

[Calilloyd]

Posts like this should be worthy of a ban. When the f did you start watching boxing.

You're right and it shows who can not be taken seriously.

You're right and it shows who can not be taken seriously.

My thing is peope that shot on Floyd AND Roys resume should not be taken seriously.

They both in put in work to get to the top when they got there.

[THE REED]

I dint come in here and even mention Roy Jones.

I just wont let people go around act like Floyd has a Calaghe like resume because thats not true.

I dont think anyone has implied that.

Best fighter in the division > Lineal champ

Darius was the lineal champ, was he better than Roy? NO

Nunn was the lineal champ, was he better than Toney? NO

Baldomir was the lineal champ, was he better than Cotto or Margarito? NO

You shoudn't put Nunn in the same category as those other fighters you mentioned. Especially Baldomir. At one time Nunn looked like he was going to be an all time great. He was a dominant champion and beat a lot of top fighters at the time. After his one punch KO win over Sumbu Kalambay(who beat Mike McCallum) many people thought he was the best fighter in the world P4P. Many people thought he was going to be another Ray Leonard. And Toney was losing badly to Nunn before he caught him with that left hook. The gap between Toney and Nunn is not that wide in terms of talent.

My List:

1. Mayweather Jr.
2. Winky Wright
3. Sweet Pea
4. Hopkins
5. Jones Jr.
6. Holyfield
7. Tyson
8. Toney
9. Forrest
10. Mosley

Winky Wright over Sweet Pea, Hopkins, and Roy Jones Jr.
