Jirov was a good win but he looked far from dominant.Comment

Dude no one is talking about career resumes.
To argue which win is more impressive you simply look at where the opponents were in their career and what was their level of skill.
All the other **** you're bringing up is completely irrelevant to the analysis/discussion.
This would be a much more serious debate had Floyd gotten a victory over Manny circa '09-'10 because he was at his peak. Similarly to how Nunn was at his peak when Toney fought and beat him. It's really that simpleComment

I thought the Jirov and Holyfield wins were excellent. Think he was fighter of the year for that.
Toney is a great champion. Hall of Famer with all-time great talent. But...some pretty bad losses in his prime hurt his standing. The Nunn win was fantastic. I'm not sure I'd place it ahead of the Corrales victory though. Nunn really was a terric fighter in his prime but his career kinda descended after the loss to Toney. Corrales was also highly ranked when he fought Mayweather and continued to notch impressive wins over top fighters after (Freitas, Castillo, and Casamayor).Comment

It was a good win defintely. And obviously a great fight. He just wasn't dominant at all but then again when was he?I thought the Jirov and Holyfield wins were excellent. Think he was fighter of the year for that.

Corralles is a god damned bum in comparison to Michael Nunn prime for prime. I would expect you to talk up the skills of Michael Nunn Mr Farrkhan lol, but I suppose you must defend the wife beater at all costs hahaI thought the Jirov and Holyfield wins were excellent. Think he was fighter of the year for that.

And Holy was a shadow of his former self, heart problems and no speed left. Did you even see that fight?Comment

1] JCCIn a far far deeper P4P era too. The fact that out of prime Pac was number 2 and aging cherry picking Floyd are considered 1+2 says a lot about this era. As you said you had prime JCC, prime Pernell and prime Michael Nunn 1,2 +3, and James Toney in his prime around 6 or 7 i'd imagine and prime Mike at about number 4 or 5 probably. Can you post the entire list please?
