    Don't always agree with u but a pretty fair unbiased list. Floyd, Manny and B hop definitely top 3. Imo.

      That's cool, if we all agreed then this forum would be boring, but as long as we can all learn from each other, then it's all good

          Maybe in terms of quantity of opponents, but I honestly think that calzaghe was a terrific fighter, lineal champ in 2 divisions, and beats everyone below him on the list....
          I know his career opponents don't match his ranking, but it rudely believe he would beat ward, tarver, froch, and anyone else not named Hopkins or Roy from the early 2000s..
          His hand speed, adaptability, will to win, volume punching,,, i truly think this guy was a very special talent

            He was a good fighter, but his best clear career win is Kessler. His slapfest against Hopkins was pathetic, as was the beginning of his career

              The quality of Bernard's wins and Manny's wins versus Floyd's wins are too much for me to ignore. Both are ahead of him since 2000 and on my ATG list. Dude being undefeated means absolutely nothing as far as I'm concerned. Sorry.

                Very true, but inwould pick him to beat everyone below him on the list... His style may not be amazing but he got the results... I think he would shred guys like winky, mosely, cotto, wlad,,,
                It would take a manny Floyd prime Hopkins or jones to beat him

                  Floyd has never been knocked down or out
                  And has schooled prime corrales, hatton, jmm, canelo, and has won or defended belts at 130, 135, 140, 147, 154

                  He has beaten the absolute best at 130, the best guy at 135, 140 was kinda weak, dominated 147, and has beaten the best 3 guys at the time at 154, and has only had one tough fight vs Castillo... What he has done is amazing

                    Disagree with Ward or Froch even being on there. Guys like Cotto and Shane and others I can't think of off the top of My head have done more for longer.

                    Edit: Just saw Calzhage. Not a chance. Few good wins.Not enough to warrant top ten.
