Who are the 4 kings of this Era?

[krazyn8tive]

Mayweather
Hopkins
Klitschko
Pacquiao

This is the list. Period.

[BOXEO _]

There isn't 4, unless you want to consider Oscar De La Hoya... which we should because he transitioned Floyd's and Pac's career.

Mayweather
Pacquiao
Cotto
De Lay Hoya

*** it, lets throw Roy Jones Jr in there too.

[LomaUsykKlichko]

If Klitschko is not in your list then idk

[Boxfan83]

Am I really going to be the only person who puts Bernard on here

Very true, I and others forget about Old Bernard, definitely one of the greats! I had Floyd, Pac, Cotto, & Marquez but I could easily replace Cotto or Marquez with BHop with no issue, I could even withstand an argument that BHop should be first or second on my list.

[DuttyAlacrity]

Hopkins has a legitimate claim too just based on his longevity.

[Bozbay]

Interesting. I see your train of thought here.

I would say Marquez but he goes out the picture when you ask yourself, when did Floyd and Pac become PPV stars? When they fought Oscar. They nearly all fought each other. You can't consider Wladimir to be on this list because he is a heavyweight and of course, never fought the other guys.

The original "four kings" all fought eachother. So you cannot include fighters who never fought eachother, e.g. Hopkins.

Asking "Who are the four greatest of this era" is different.

[Mr. Philadel]

BHop
May
Pac

Mayweather, Pacquaio, Marquez and klitchko

Hopkins... is not in the era of fighters that turned pro in the 90s


DLH, Trinidad and Mosley were born in the 70s but look at any video, they were at their most potent in the 90s like Jones who was born in 69...those guys at 135-147 would've made noise in any era

hopkins is in the generation of people born in the 60s and Roy, Pernell,Holyfield are in his era generation


Mayweather is the best

Pacquaio is the most beloved

Klitchko is the underappreciated after a great era like former champion larry holmes(Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis, and Bowe ran the 90s klitchko is from the 96 Olympics like pbf)

Marquez is the unsung hero who had an ATG trainer Nacho, beat one of the best of his era in a one in a lifetime ko over Pac...also won titles from 126-140
and his longevity, world class at lighter weights in his late 30s after fighting in near obscurity in the early 3rd or half of his career



these are the 4 kings in my book

[HanzGruber]

Floy PAC wlad. Bhop/cotto/jmm?

[Build That Wall]

Marquez and Cotto have not achieved as much as Hopkins has achieved in boxing
