im guessing 16 years because it would take us back to 1990 (soon to be 1991 though)

holyfield.............. nope. he loses too many fights (a few in his prime as well) and is probably the most overrated fighter in the history of boxing

lennox lewis was good, but theres no forgiving getting knocked out by hassim rahman and dont forget that vitali was giving lummox a beating before he got cut

bowe is one of my all time favorites, but he hasnt achieved nearly as much as mayweather and as much as i hate lennox.........bowe was running from him. not to mention, a great fighter would never get beat up on by golata

as for roy jones jr......... i was torn between him and mayweather but the devestating ko from tarver put a hurt on his legacy, plus he lost to glen johnson, which is inexcuseable

delahoya has also lost too many big fights and should have AT LEAST 2 more losses on his record (sturm and quartey)

mosley got schooled real bad by vernon forrest and winky wright. forrest is crap, and wright would be one of my top choices for greatest of the last 15 years (after pernell whitaker)


so i guess it goes like this................

1.) floyd mayweather jr.

2.) roy jones jr.

3.) pernell whitaker

4.) winky wright
