        Froch is debatable.
        Froch is not even close to debatable...................and why even list these names?
        Loma, Bradley, GGG, Rigo, Ward, Kova, Choco?? that proves my point how people just throw it around..GGG has not even beat a current world champion for crying out loud

          Lol...was thinkin' it might be Joe Piscopo, but yeah ok.

          Tommy is just more ginger in that picture than I remember him.

          I stand corrected.

                  I think Juan Manuel Marquez would have been great in any era between 126-135....people remember him for the wars with manny but a prime Marquez from 2003-2009 would have competed and been the best or one of the best

                  I wish he would have stayed at 126 and rematch Chris John and established himself more at 126 and 130 instead of chasing Manny

                  His combinations and counters were killer and in his prime his footwork and defense were what kept big names away....he doesn't fight like the typical Mexican Aztec warrior but he has the heart

                    If this era includes Marquez, Morales, and Barrera then I would have to say that's not it for this era. I put all of them over Hopkins when it comes to greatness and importance to the sport.

                      That Morris Day was never even nominated for an Academy Award says something very deep about the American psyche.
