I used to always say yes.

Now I'm not so sure.

I have him number 2 at lw clearly behind Leonard. But then he has one of the greatest victories in history plus top class victories over palomino, Cuevas, Barkley and Moore.

His titles are a bit misleading and had he beaten Benitez, hearns, Hagler or Sumbu I'd say absolutely.

Top 20 lock. Top 10 debatable.
