[DR.ORGYY]

Mayweather but hes #2 in the world behind pacquiao......

[Pugilistic™]

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

the thread would've been more interesting if it was second best current american

Maybe the poll should've been made without Floyd Jr.


My vote goes to him, obviously - but, out of the rest, if I'm judging on a balance of current ability and accomplishments, I'd say Bradley and Dawson with Ward and Alexander creeping up behind.


Hopkins has obviously done a lot, but I think he's tearing down significantly at this point.

We're on the same page here. Regardless of what people think about Bradley, we all have to admit he is an almost complete boxer. Chad Dawson ain't all that good on the inside, but he makes up for that since he's a great boxer/ counter puncher.

Of course Mayweather is winning. He's never been stopped and made anyone he fought look horrible.

If Mayweather wasn't on there I'd pick between Bradley and Dawon. My only gripe with Dawson is his inactivity and choice of opponents, but I guess when you have a stale division you can't blame it on him.

[PittyPat]

The black guy.

Of course it's Floyd... this is one of the most ******est polls seriously. Numbers 2 & 3 are more interesting topic/poll.

Mike Tyson. Youngest boxer to be heavy weight champion of the world.

Chad Dawson ain't all that good on the inside, but he makes up for that since he's a great boxer/ counter puncher.

This is true. Dawson's all about his business on the outside, but he possesses a lot of nuance and precision there and is very consistent, whereas a guy like Paul Williams is still somewhat unpolished and can still be a mixed bag doing what he does (always great to watch his fights, though, and his manner ensures you can't help but root for dude).

Taking Floyd out of the equation (and Hopkins, for reasons stated before), Bradley strikes the best balance of completeness and testedness on the list, having brought out multiple looks and different weapons to deal with a range of styles.

I voted Williams because he fights superior opponents to Floyd Mayweather and would probably beat him at 147.

Cintron, Margarito, Quintana, Martinez and Wright > Corrales, Mosley, De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Castillo, Judah ????????
