Try to keep personal biases out and disliking one or the other, and rank these 3 from 1 to 3. And why?

toney-draw last fight
Hopkin-lost by decision last 2 fights
Roy- ko, ko & u decision in last 3 fights..

Rosewood is this your ranking? It's fine just making sure you know I meant over their careers because you listed there most recent fight's. They've all had good career's so there is no wrong answer.

Hopkins- Longest Legacy on Top of a division in recent memory.

Jones Jr- Dominated a few weight classes, one of the most entertaining and talented fighters ever, had a great career.

Toney- Great throwback fighter, has a impressive record with big wins and big losses, great fighter aswell.

Sisforshaq, good points and I respect Hopkins .But I coulden't put him number 1 simply because thru his reign he didn't fight Toney and loss clearly to Roy.So he had some good wins but he lost to the other big name of that era and didn't fight Toney. Roy won in several weight classes and beat Hop head to head. Toney loss to Roy as well but did make noise in other divisions and won some fights at HW and could stil maybe do something if he gets in decent shape. So I'd have to put Roy 1 Bernard 2 and Toney 3. Another thing is that Hop's biggest wins as far as names were welters(Oscar,Tito).

RJJ - To many divisions and belts to count. #/# best fighter for a decade. 2nd person to move up to take heavyweight championship.

Hopkins - Cleaned out the Middle Weight Division. Champ for a LONG time.

Toney - He was the #/# fighter before Jones and a great boxer.

Hopkins/Jones jr./Toney
