When the dust has settled

Look at what Roy, Hopkins and Wlad have done.

And look at what Floyd has done. Wlad has been on top for a decade. Floyd for 17 years.There is a strong argument to rank RJJ higher. Incredible fighter and talent. But Wlad and Hopkins above Floyd. Only a boxing ignoramus can have either higher.

His cherry picking and ducking are also noted

RJJ
Floyd
Manny
Hopkins
Wlad
Audley

Depending on who wins may

Floyd/manny
RJJ
Hopkins

Such a weird list

If Jones retired after tarver 1 it would be looked at differently

Yup, Roy Jones no doubt would be top 15 p4p of all time if he hanged up after target 1, or even Ruiz, just shows despite what people say fighting on and losing way after your peak will harm your legacy

Are we to ignore catchweights?

It didn't harm Robinson's legacy. He fought until 45 and lost to cans. Oldies are looked at with rose tinted glasses.

Yup that's exactly the reason why, nowadays you have to retire at the right time, pretty much anyone who started fighting after 1990 onwards will never break into the p4p all time top 10
