      I was thinking the same thing. The beginning of each article is a dead giveaway.

      Manny Pacquiao, unquestionably one of the best boxers of his generation, says his third meeting with Timothy Bradley Jr. on April 9 will be the final fight of his career. If that's the case, then it's time to assess Pacquiao's place in boxing history.

      ESPN asked its panel of boxing experts to rank the top 25 pound-for-pound boxers of the past 25 years. The results will be unveiled over eight days on ESPN.com, Facebook (ESPN Boxing) and Twitter (@ESPNBoxing) and counted down from No. 25 to No. 1, which will be announced on the eve of Pacquiao-Bradley III. Fans can use the hashtag #P4Prank to join the discussion and follow along

      Is Pacquiao the No. 1 P4P boxer since 1991? Here is the fighter ranked at No. 4

        I saw this oday. If they have Roy at 4 then that means BHop, Manny and Floyd are left. I wonder if they make Manny #1 just to get attention.

          B-Hop number 3, the top 5 has pretty much been according to form I guess the outrage will come at 1 and 2 which I guess isn't surprising.

            Floyd beat Pacquiao head to head and has never known defeat in his professional career. There should be no argument as to who is #1.

            Do you guys agree with Hopkins being ahead of Roy? When they were both closer to prime RJJ got the win over Bernard.

              Longevity may have placed him there, but prime for prime, Jones rules over the entire list. There was about a 5 year window where he looked almost unbeatable

                I think if you saw Roy and Bhop fight in their primes, then you can't seriously put Bhop ahead of him.

                  According to his tweet, it is wrong to put Hopkins ahead of Roy Jones.

                    Yea if you are going by the strict interpretation that it is a who beats who regardless of size list at their best in the last 25 years I think Roy would have to be 1 or 2.
