    Default Top 20 Fighters Since 1980

    **Any action prior to 1980 is null and void (e.g. Duran, Arguello, Larry Holmes), but can still be rated for success from that year on..

    Best I could come up with. I know I am leaving some folks out. In order:

    1. Sugar Ray Leonard
    2. Julio Cezar Chavez
    3. Roy Jones, Jr - An awesome fighter. I don't care about his loss of reflexes lack of fundamentals to fall back on as he aged. He is an ATG.
    4. Marvin Hagler
    5. Lennox Lewis
    6. Floyd Mayweather
    7. Evander Holyfield
    8. Bernard Hopkins
    9. Sweet Pea
    10. Thomas Hearns
    11. Oscar De La Hoya
    121. Marco Antonio Barrera
    13. Joe Calzaghe
    14. Mike Tyson
    15. Roberto Duran
    16. Erik Morales
    17. Winky Wright
    18. George Foreman
    19. Shane Mosley
    20. Manny Pacquiao

    Felix Trinidad (bumped off)

    I had a hard time coming up with any lighter guys worth mentioning for this particular era.

    EDIT: I TOTALLY forgot Pernell Whitaker. I squeezed him in at 9 and knocked Tito off...
