    Too many mah friend. But i'll rank em anyways in your order of greatness. In this particular order sir;

    1. manny pacquiao -8 divison champion (unprecedented in boxing history) That feat alone will make Manny the greatest this generation had seen. Period

    2.roy jones -after 100+ yrs , Bob's feat is repeated. From MW champ to being HW champ.

    3.floyd mayweather -Let's be honest here, FMJ should be the greatest undefeated fighter of all time and one among the greatest defensive fighter of all time

    3.bernard hopkins -IDK but Bhop is an alien.Lol. We'll see him in his 50's with a belt

    4 evander holyfield -i can feel Holy. If Ali would be the greatest HW with just being 3 time HW champ, wHy not Evander with 5x?

    5. wladimir klitchsko -Could eclipse Louis 25 consecutive title defenses. A Truly remarkable feat in any given time

    6. vitali klitchsko -the greater one between the Klit bros. If he is to fight lil bro, he'll ko him

    7.- miguel cotto -4x divison champ -the one and only in PR

    8. juan manuel marquez -Next to JCC he's the greatest MExican fighter ever

    9. marco antonio barrera - Marquez got lucky he never faced MAB in his prime

    10 erik morales - Marquez got lucky he never faced Eric in his prime

    11 shane mosley - When he was able to touch Floyd,it should have been over had he been in his youth and prime best

    12 ivan calderon - IDK what Ivan is doing here, Mayol and Segura just got his numbers

    13 pongsaklek wonjongkam -Havent seen much of this guy. My bad
