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

[deathofaclown]

I don't think anybody with any common sense could disagree, except fans of a certain fighter who are still depressed.

I could see a case for Roy Jones at his peak though but for an overall career, going 19 years undefeated and still being on top at nearly 40, i'd have to say Floyd deserves it.

Embarrassing.

F U!! I did post an applause gif. RED K!!!!

What's the list look like? I didn't bother checking it after i saw numbers 25-16 or whatever it was

roy never lost in his prime and stayed well past it....Ray Robinson has over a dozen losses and lost in his prime and near it...legit ones

Only loss Jones had under the age of 35 is a dq loss

I like both equally but I have never seen a fighter before or since dominate world class fighters and hall of famers like a prime Roy Jones...not even Floyd

Floyd Mayweather is the greatest fighter of his generation and a top 10 ATG.

With that being said no one that has ever laced up boxing gloves is better than Roy Jones Jr. in his prime. No one.

i JUST heard fat dan say that.

why would you put him in front of floyd?

I think Roy in his prime was the superior physical specimen. He also accomplished a lot. Yes Floyd was technically better and fought and beat the better opposition. I'm not against them choosing Floyd whatsoever but if we're talking p4p Roy MIGHT have been better.

agreed. roy in his prime ... i remember it like yesterday when i was a kid racing up to my buddies house to watch him fight james toney, roy was scary in his prime.

only thing that was a knock on him during his prime years was that haircut .. what was that line on the back of his head he used to keep?

Suddenly ESPN are credible

LOOL

I'd personally have Holyfield higher than both May and Pac.

So...
