[Like A MOSS]

lol @ jones


ROIDS tarnishes his entire legacy. also he only beat 2 names. Toney and Hopkins.




Pacquiao beat Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Cotto, DLH, Mosley ETC


8 weight divisions > RJJ

Riveting tale, chap.

Too bad Jones never tested positive for ACTUAL Steroids (Anabolic Steroids) and he also never ran away from a drug test.

Hopkins & Toney > Barrera

Morales was shot, Marquez wasn't beaten decisively, Cotto is a career paper titlist who never won a legitimate title, DLH and Mosley were SHOT

The versions of McCallum & Hill that Jones beat > 98% Pac's resume.

Also, Jones fought 66 pounds outside of his original weight class (160 to 226) while Juiceiao moved up about half of that weight from flyweight to 150.

This was hard. Only one heavyweight. Too many great fighters.

Manny Pacquiao
Bernard Hopkins
Floyd Mayweather
Roy Jones Jr.
Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barrera
Lennox Lewis
Felix Trinidad
Oscar De La Hoya
Joe Calzaghe


James Toney's major success came between 90-94. Using your criteria he's not worthy of being in the top 10. Same with Holy. Roy below Floyd and Hop because of longevity and Floyd's undefeated record.

for some reason, i never think of toney as one of the best of this era, his stand out fight to me was the close call vs jirov , james toney was a solid fighter who accomplished less than what his potential couldve gotten him too, lol, nyahahahaha

[IMDAZED]

1995 takes away from Jones' accomplishments and drops him since he fought Toney in 1994, Hopkins and Tate in 1993. I'd go:

1. Pacquiao
2. Mayweather
3. Hopkins
4. Jones
5. Morales
6. Trinidad
7. Barrera
8. De La Hoya
9. Lewis
10. W. Klitschko

[AnimalisticMeth]

I don't consider guys like Jones, Trinidad and De La Hoya "this era". I think the era we are in started in 2000 and those guys best days were in the late 90's.

My list

1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr
3. Bernard Hopkins
4. Wladimir Klitschko
5. Juan Manuel Marquez
6. Miguel Cotto
7. Shane Mosley
8. Erick Morales
9. Vitali Klitschko
10. Joe Calzaghe
