H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0 decade leaderboard

Best boxers of the 1990s

Floyd Mayweather Jr leads the Score list, with Roy Jones Jr and Evander Holyfield close enough to make the order worth arguing about.

Showing the top 100 by score. Every ranked fighter is searchable on the main all-time index.

Read this with care

H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0 is a fixed public release, not a live database. A fighter can top one of these lists and still rank lower overall. The all-time score blends several things: how good they were in their fights, how far ahead of their rivals they stood, how tough their opponents were, their title record, and how long they stayed near the top.

For disputed placements, use the fighter page, methodology page and corrections process rather than treating one number as the whole argument.
