P4P best since 1990

Klitscho is the P4P best since Roy Jones was at his peak, he has ducked no-one and fought everyone from his era when they were at their peak.

Adapted his style to be head and shoulders better than anyone in the division.

Cant wait for him to stand Tyson Fury on his head

Lacy was wrecked by Calzaghe when he was touted as the next big thing and Kessler was in his prime when sorted by him,Eubank another good win if not superb and Hopkins though late on was still dangerous as he was proving 5 years later with some here tipping him to beat Kovalev as recent as a few months ago.
Naturally i bow to those here that followed the other named fighters but agree top 10 for Calzaghe.
Klitschko has not beaten a decent fighter for years though,not his fault just none about for probably the last 10 years apart from his brother post Lewis.

Lacy was over hyped, I sussed him our after his fight with Omar sheika, Eubank was finished, Hopkins was 43! Say what you want but speed kills and Hopkins at that age cannot dominate a fellow world class boxer with speed to give away, the Hopkins who beat winky, beats Joe. Roy Jones was a mess after yo yo time through the divisipns , a prime roy knocks Joe out. Kessler... Fair play.

So the Hopkins who produced the worst display of his career just 9 months prior to losing to Calzaghe would have turned the tables and won?

Lacy went into that fight favourite with all bookies and was tipped up by plenty of pros too. Like i said people on here gave a near 50y/o hopkins a chance against kovalev yet 7 years earlier he's past it! Nobody put Jones up as a good win as he was spent and comparing 'prime this and prime that' counts for nothing. 46 and 0 takes some doing even if plenty,particularly during the warren years were 'bum o'the month' types. Nigel Benn who never shied from anyone reckoned Calzaghe would have been better than all the Brits/Collins in their prime,a must for top 10.

Musts for top ten are;

1. Mayweather
2. Whitaker
3. Pacquiao
4. Jones
5. Hopkins
6. Lewis
7. Marquez
8. Mosley
9. Trinidad
10. De La Hoya

Now I don't think Calzaghe is in the class of any of them personally, top ten since 1990 possibly but not top ten by a fair way.

I kid you not I saw that coming. His styles was set up for joes mould. Anybody who had Hopkins 50/50 is insane! The outcome was never in doubt for mW.

As far as this list abs British boxers go Lennox is the only worthy one.

Mayweather
Jones
Whittaker
Pacquiao
Hopkins

Well the outcome was in doubt, It was a very, very close fight which could have gone either way on the judges cards.
