The Greatest Fighter of Our Era?

[ModernTalking]

Not fair as all 3 add together can't even beat PAC.

[Chuckguy]

I say RJJ
Then PAC
Then Floyd
And finally sweet pea

They all have super g@@y middle names ha

[Da Machine]

Prime RJJ would literally toy with Pac P4P. This poll amuses me but at the same time not surprising.

Some observations:

Greatest opponents - Pernell (Chavez, Tito, Oscar, McGirt, etc.)

Toughest career - Manny (No early promotion, no money, fighting foreign countries, fighting in opponent's hometown)

Most physically gifted - Roy followed by Manny

Best technical skills - Pernell followed by Floyd

Only undefeated record - Floyd

Agree with this

Not sure about greatest opponents though.

There's a difference between h2h and atg

Roy h2h could be GOAT but his steroid use and devastating late career ko losses take away from his Legacy from a greatness standpoint. It highlighted how he relied on his athleticism .once his legs deteriorated he became a sitting duck

Greatest as in Resume and what they actually did - Manny Pacquiao easily

Greatest as in who would win head to head p4p in their prime - ROY easily

Greatest as in WHO WUDDA BEEN - Roy and a close 2nd Floyd

Greatest defensive fighter = Pernell and then Floyd.

he meant the achievement and not head to head.

I agree Prime Roy would toy with Pac.

fookin hell i clicked Floyd, but wanted to click Manny, that happens when you go to NSB at 6 in the morning without sleep

[miron_lang]

the guy who had his 1st fight at 175 wasn't a big middleweight?

INCREDIBLE

he is even a shade over 6 FOOT TWO.

Marvin Hagler is 5'9
Leonard is 5'10
Hearns is 6'1
Carlos Monzon was 5'11
Ray Robinson was 5'11



Tarver was the only significantly taller opponent and that was @175
