good question the only fighter who i think fought any good fighters during their prime would be Jones. none of the other fighters during their prime fought any worthy opponents. tyson is the most feared during his prime. but when i saw jones knock someone out with a body shot, i had never seen anything like that before i was amazed and then when he also knocked someone out with the first hit. my choice by far is jones.

Out of your list I would say Roy Jones Jr. Second Bernard Hopkins, third Mike Tyson then PBF.

This is a good question but when I think about it Mike Tyson and Roy Jr. really had nobody to fight in there prime, Mayweather Jr. is just about there and is about to retire like Barry Sanders did so that leaves Hopkins who to me maybe the best Champion of all-time (don't get me wrong Ali is the GREATEST boxer of all-time)
Anyone who can defend their championship 22 times deserves that title of the best champion and to me was the best in his prime

The answer would definetely have to be Mike Tyson. I do not recall any boxer being as intimidating as Tyson was especially when he was in his prime. Every time one of his fights came on you had to keep your eyes glued to the screen to make sure you didn't miss one of his first round knockouts.

I would have to say Roy Jones because it took him like 50 fights just to really lose one and it took him like 15 years. He never really lost in his prime, he was umstoppable

mike tyson when he won his first title,how many seconds did it last & how many times did he go past the sixs round,not many and i think Rocky Marciano was the best ever as the man retired undefeated which you don't see these days as lennox lewis retired with a couple of losses,but one mean upper-cut.

Muhammad Ali wasn't even in his prime when he was stripped off his belt and was banned in boxing for a few years. He really hasn't reached his full potential yet. He was still good after but was never the same.

Mike Tyson, only because he was the biggest PPV draw in sports.

None of the above
They are/were all good fighters.
The best in his prime of all time?
Joe Louis
