1990s: Roy Jones Jr. – At his best, he inspired awe. Runner up: Pernell Whitaker.

2000s: Manny Pacquiao – Sorry Floyd but you need to fight the best to be the best. Runner up: Floyd Mayweather.

Wait a second.... so Floyd isn't #1 because "you need to fight the best to be the best....", but then he picks Roy Jones over Pernell Whitaker? That seems like a bit of a contradiction to me.

Maybe it's not in p4p category. PBF and Pac happens to be just 1 div apart.
