Who is the greatest fighter since Muhammed Ali?

Give a clear answer. The answer isn't 6 guys over Manny. What's your exact, 1 name answer? Don't bring up Pacquiao, just quick reply with one name.

Roy Jones Jr....talent+resume....no peers in his prime and no rivals...Made hall of famers look foolish in his prime(Hopkins,toney,McCallum, Virgil hill) and I seriously doubt anyone soon will win major titles from 160 to heavyweight



Dude made it look to easy, people can't relate to that.... Didn't have a legit loss til he was 35

I am a Duran, Hagler, Pacquiao fan.

I like Hagler's overall all around abilities.
But I just love the explosive skillsets of Duran and Pacquiao.

I have to go with my boy Manny Pacquiao on this. No doubt the buffoonish term ******* will be thrown about but I think he achievements speak for themselves. He's been running a train on murderers row for years. Precious little let up and an incredible comeback from one of the greatest KOs of all time.

So many other fighters are in with a great shout too especially Roberto Duran and Ray Leonard.

Ali was almost the complete fighter, if he had slightly more power, he would be. The guy could box on the back foot, be a defensive wizard, go to war, clinch, get dirty, be strong, never get stopped, speed, agility...everything, the only guy who comes close to that since is Leonard. The total package.

Duran and Pacquiao are great shouts, Pernell and JCC Sr should get top mentions too.

Edit:
I don't see JCC on there...yet RJJ and Floyd get on? lol

Rjj and Floyd were better than JCC and have better resumes

get outta here, what u smoking?

RJJ does NOT have a better resume than JCC lol wtf

JCC had a better all round game than one trick poney Jones and was a meaner ma***er and more of a man than Floyd. Noway should someone list those guys on the list and then not list JCC.

Not saying superidiot and *****boy shouldnt be on the list but JCC should be on there and higher too.

[Showtime..]

Who did you vote for and why?

Leonard. I don't like that he ducked Hagler for 7 years, but ignoring that, he was competitive in every fight he was in until old age and beat an incredible amount of World Class Fighters.

Why didn't Jones ever collect every LHW belt? He held like 9 at once but never got the WBO from that German dude

On planet earth being meaner don't make you better


JCC got some gifts against Taylor, Whitaker, and And didn't have Jones' talent


Jones has half his fights, beat more champs and title holders, won titles in more weight classes, and talent wise JCC couldn't carry his joke strap....JCC is great but was no where near as talented as jones

Yes, Duran and Pacquiao anywhere between 135-147 would be crazy. I think it would have produced fireworks like Morales-Pacquiao 1. ..non stop action.

Great fantasy match-up.

....
I think if Duran took care of himself, he'd have beaten Sugar Ray in the rematch. Don't understand him quitting. He just partied hard and didn't watch himself between those fights especially.
