      Who will be remembered as the kings of this era?

      Mayweather
      Pacquiao
      Cotto
      ...
      Who's the fourth? Canelo/GGG??? Ward??? Probably a little too early to say. Let's discuss.

      I'd say the 4 guys that made the most money. Pacquiao, and Mayweather for sure. Klitschko???? Who else made a ton of money.

        A differing opinion isn't troll bait.

          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.
          Yea I saw that's where you were going with it. Perhaps the 4 kings prior to this list would be
          Bhop, Mosley,Trinidad Oscar??

            Are guys like Hopkins really still this era? What exactly is the cut off point here for years?

              Hopkins can go on multiple lists.

              Decade would have been a better word than era

                TS should have used Decade

                  I don't feel people should really consider GGG or Canelo as part of the Mayweather and Manny era.

                    Yeah I might agree with that. Throw in Lewis, Barrera, Morales and maybe Holyfield into the mix of that last one, but Mayweather Jr. also could fall into that last era as well as well as this one I suppose.

                      Until 2020, it's Mayweather, Hopkins, Klitschko, Pacquiao.

                      YOU KNOW WHAT, **** PACQUIAO. MARQUEZ GOT ROBBED 3 TIMES AND PUT HIS ASS ON WORLD STAR IN A 4TH FIGHT.

                      Replacing Pacquiao with Marquez
