Who do you consider the best current American boxer?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Ummmm Mayweather?

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.

i thought he would win, but i expected it to be closer.

floyd is the greatest.
Hell in the world actually.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

Not if that's in exact order.


Flakey-ass Dirrell over the much more rounded, versatile and courageous pair of Bradley and Ward? No thanks.


It probably wasn't in order, though. Hope not, LMAO.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

This guy knows what he's talking about.

Not in that order.

Williams last?

[S.G.]

#1: Mayweather
#2: Williams
#3: Dawson
#4: Bradley
#5: Ward

not a bad line up considering how American boxing was apparently on the brink of death a year or two ago...

[F l i c k e r]

Mayweather easily.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Dawson
Ward
Alexander
Bradley

I neglected to mention Williams in my list because I was balancing overall completeness of fight-game to accomplishments.

Paul is still comparatively limited IMO, but what he does he does extremely well and he has a tremendous heart, plus his ledger is becoming quite solid, so he's my 5th guy in that pack behind Floyd, maybe just sneaking into the middle spot between Bradley-Dawson and Ward-Alexander on the strength of what he's done (although I think Ward's win over Kessler, and the fashion of it, just about tops anything on Williams' record).
