You couldve just said the greatest fighters of the last 50 years....just trippin with you.
The greatest of the last 50 years(accomplishment, resume, ability to overcome adversity, heart, impact)
1)Muhammad Ali
2)Roberto Duran
3)Sugar Ray Leonard
4)Roy Jones
5)Mayweather
6)Pernell Whitaker
7)Manny Pacquaio
8)Julio Cesar Chavez
9)Bernard Hopkins
10)Eder Jofre(very underrated...considered the greatest bantamweight of all-time and came back to win the featheweight title at an ancient age like 37 for lil guys, only lost to fighting Harada out of 70+ fights)
The best( Longevity, dominance in their prime, skills)
1) Roy Jones....Ive watched a lot of boxing and in his prime he is the best fighter I have ever seen....you cant teach the things Jones could do in the ring. He was GOD GIFTED in his prime and I wouldnt favor anyone from 160-175 to beat him in his prime...Only Charles, Spinks had a shot, if Foster could land he did as well but he would have got his ears boxed off
2) Mayweather...with his blend of god given talent and taught skills, he is the most complete fighter I have ever seen to combine athletic gifts and technical prowess....the close fight to Castillo is why he isnt number one. If Jones wasnt D'Q ed he would have kayoed Griffin and stayed truely undefeated until 35 years old.
3) Leonard....similar to Mayweather....he was slighly less gifted than Jones as an athlete, just a hair gifted technically especially on defense than Floyd, but he was a DOG, and his skills are much lauded but his killer instinct was overlooked....every top fighter outside of Duran in his first career he knocked out or stopped.
4) Pernell Whitaker...if only he had power....but what he was is arguably the greatest defensive fighter of all time

in no order
I'd take out Robinson (He was 40 in 1960 had most of his losses after then) Mayweather (not really up to ATG standard, too "selective') and Lewis **KOd by 2 very ordinary fighters) and put in Duran, Locche and Pacquiao. And I'd put Jones #1 and Ali #2 with Duran #3. The rest are in no especial order.
Add; I'd forgotten Eder Jofre like most of the boxing world. He was in my opinion an All Time Great. Only lost two very close decisions to Fighting Harada.
