The PPV Era is purely business and some says it launch the death of the sport. Best fighters are hardly fighting the best in their prime. Every boxer is considered a cash cow and being milked for maximum revenue.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Solid list, I’d have a similar core of names but obviously in a somewhat different order.

My top 5 would be:

1. Jones Jr
2. Mayweather
3. Pacquiao
4. Hopkins
5. Whitaker

One guy I feel you may have overlooked is Mike McCallum, pretty sure he debuted in the early 80’s. If it was late 70’s my bad...

I’d also have Loma on the list and James Toney way higher, but overall good list.

They say boxing is dead but you look at the quality of the top 25 boxers and still we do not have Mccallum, Hatton, Wonjongkam, Martinez, Rafa Marquez, Tarver, Vazquez, etc
