Re: Top 3 fighters starting from 1985-present

1. Whitaker
2. Jones

If Mayweather wins in May, then I'd put him 3rd. As of this moment, the 3rd spot could be a bunch of different guys. Holyfield, Hopkins, Lopez, Chavez, etc...

Great list apart from Joel. agreed he's an awesome fighter but one of the best from 1985 until now,no way.

I cannot do top 3,that's impossible.Top 5: RJJ,Pernell,Ricardo Lopez,JCC and Tito

(Tito is the most under rated by far,his resume is on par with any of the mentioned guys,record title defences and would have remained undefeated had he not gone too high up in weight.It's a testament to his awesomeness that he is the best name on Winky and B Hop's resumes and he was the smaller guy.Even now,I don't see anyone at 147 or 154 that can beat him)

agreed about tito but i think its because he was dominated twice which takes away from his legacy a bit but you gotta give the man his dues one of best fighters in new era

Only so-called loss I can maybe accept is the Castillo one. And even that one I debate about

Re: Top 3 fighters starting from 1985-present

I had JLC by 1 and had that been a 15 rounder,I would have put $$$ on JLC stopping or at least seriously hurting Cas. and I think Cas started too late v Corrales the second time.He was confused by Corrales boxing tactics and although the knockdown tightened things up,I think Corrales was ahead by then already.I had Cas winning the Freitas fight I think.
