Those are the clear top 2 IMO. Both men were unhittable in their prime, but age took away their speed and caused them to get hit more. I put Whitaker #1 based on his chin. As he got older and got hit, he proved that he had a great chin. He took Trinidad's best shots for 12 rounds at 147 and was still standing at the end. Trinidad being arguably the best puncher pound-for-pound of this post-1990 period.
On the other hand, when Jones lost his reflexes and movement, his chin proved to be suspect.

Rest:
3. Floyd Mayweather- the "new" Pernell Whitaker
4. Bernard Hopkins
I like Whitaker. Always have. But he lost the De La Hoya fight. It was close. But he lost it. And it was legit. People scream he was robbed all the time. Fine. Go ahead and say Whitaker should of won. But if you do that, than man-up and say Wilfredo Rivera got robbed in his fights against Whitaker. Especially the first one.
