1990s: Roy Jones Jr
The Ring picked Pernell Whitaker as its fighter of the decade, and Sweet Pea has an exceptional case, winning titles at 135, 140, 147, and 154 pounds, losing only to Felix Trinidad (convincingly) and Oscar De La Hoya (controversially) and being robbed of a win over Julio Cesar Chavez. But the winner here is Jones, who won middleweight, super-middleweight, and light-heavyweight titles with an elan that made it all look effortless and made Hall-of-Fame level talents like Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, and Mike McCallum appear hopelessly overmatched.
