ESPN Ranks Floyd Mayweather As The Best Fighter Of The Last 25 Years

[IronDanHamza]

Ya'll are really starteing to overrate the hell out of Roy Jones...ya'll act like none of his losses count and that he was actually fighting top fighters and he wasn't..I was a huge Roy fan but The Toney win was great but look at the list of champions he defeated and tell me its an ATG list

Jorge Vaca, Jorge Fernando Castro, Bernard Hopkins, Thulani Malinga, James Toney, Vinny Pazienza, Eric Lucas, Mike McCallum, Montell Griffin, Virgil Hill, Lou Del Valle, Otis Grant, Reggie Johnson, Julio Cesar Gonzalez, Clinton Woods, John Ruiz, Antonio Tarver, Felix Trinidad, Jeff Lacy

How was he not fighting top fighters?

He was literally fighting top fighters.

[IronDanHamza]

Hopkins also has a win over Roy himself and every middleweight worth a damn over an entire decade and the jump to beat Tarver

That's just illogical Larry and you know it so why even say it?

Hopkins beat a shot to **** Roy and yeah he cleaned up the worst MW era of all time.

[IronDanHamza]

I don't have a problem with Floyd being number one although I think Roy Jones deserves it. In general the list seems to confuse accomplishment with p4p talent. At no point in his career was Bernard Hopkins ever a top 3 p4p fighter, so how can he be rated that high over 25 years? I rank Hopkins very highly but he's not a top p4p fighter.

Hopkins was P4P #1 in 2004.

#3 on a few other occasions.

Pacquiao is the best. Made greats like Mayweather and Mosley run away from him

A guy beaten 5 times and knocked out cold can never be the best , logic tells you to be the best nobody should be able to beat you let alone 5 times .

Rjj is no1 or 2 behind pAC.. 6 division titilist!

I'm pretty sure Floyd is ranked #1 there, buddy.

Expect to see it a lot more throughout the rest of your life.

Mayweather has too weak a resume for that. It's good but even bums can wrack up a ton of wins with little chance of losing when facing overmatched opponents in relation to their own talent.

Looking at Mayweather's resume it's alot of average fighters who have been beaten plenty of times and a few past it greats. Pacquiao and Hoya are by far his best wins.

But good for him.
