What would your top 20 list look like from 1990-2014

[Larry the boss]

What is the standard? Accomplishments during 1990-2014? What would you define as an accomplishment?

Top fighters from 1990-2014, in and around there prime doing their best work

In and around their prime? Why only that? What if someone did great things here and there like Hopkins? Makes no sense...it seems like just picking and choosing.

Who are the greatest fighters between 1990-present I would imagine is the question.

[soul_survivor]

I can't be too critical of lists, because I'm too lazy to form my own... But at Naz at 17, how's that work?

And JMM below Joke? Come on man...

Like I said, pretty much off the top of my head but my top 10 is pretty settled. Maybe JMM can be better and he has some good wins but he also has some solid losses and he went life and death with a part time law student.

Naz deserves to be in any post 1990 top 20, he was the leading featherweight of his time and held every belt on offer, that means he beat champions, former champions and future champs along with top 10 contenders. Add to that his explosive power and speed, he was a great fighter. Simple as that really.

Interesting thread. Larry actually made a decent one.

LOL yeah, something not to do with Floyd for once, wow!

Tough to make an ordered 20. Here's my attempt off the top of my head.

1. Roy Jones
2. Whitaker
3. Holyfield
4. Mayweather
5. Pacquaio
6. Chavez
7. Hopkins
8. McCallum
9. Toney
10. Morales
11. Barrera
12. Marquez
13. Trinidad
14. Oscar
15. Lewis
16. Lopez
17. Carbajal
18. Mosley
19. Norris
20. Nelson

Hard list to do solely because a lot of guys overlap the time period.

For example Nelson would be a lot higher but his best work was in the 80's. A lot of guys who were still fighting in the 90's did their best work or good work in the 80's like Mike Tyson for example.

McCallum the same, Chavez the same.

Not thought about the list at all.

Thank you for saving me the time . Holyfield is the tough one IMO.

[IronDanHamza]

Same for me because he did good work in the 80's aswell.

The list would be easier to make from 1984 to present.

Agreed -- from that Olympics to present.

I'd drop Holy a few notches down because he was so uneven in the 90's to present but I'd do it grudgingly as I don't believe he gets the respect he deserves. A truly special fighter.

Giving the man props.

Then.....YOU just had to pick and chose yourself, eh?
