    Not a bad little tier system.

    Hopkins is far too high up though- no way he's tier 1 based on the rest of the names in tiers 1 to 3. Would swap Roy Jones and Lennox around and move Toney down a tier as well.

    He needs that win to be considered great. Above 135 proves nothing of greatness and people call him an ATG:rofl. Great talent(maybe not even that as he's not tested enough) but his big mouth and "0" worship hurt him in the long run. He's on par with maybe Calzaghe, Wright, & Tszyu but should not be over or with Mosley, DLH, Hopkins, RJJ, and Toney for instance.

    Joe Calzaghe two tiers above Marco Antonio Barrera.

    Luf, I like you a lot as a poster, but that is such a horrendous call that I actually find it offensive.

    :yikes

    Tapia,Carbajal,Chiquita,mark Jonnson,Canizales are little guys you left out, that are or should be in the HOF someday soon.

    Also Ricardo Lopez should be in atleast tier 2 maybe even tier one. And Lewis tier 3 or 4.. Im pretty sure you left a few out.

    Yes I definitely left many out, I noted in the opening post that I wasn't trying to include every fighter, just wanting feedback on using a tier system and on where I had placed those guys who were included. :good

    Hopkins doesn't belong in tier one in my opinion.

    RDJ, Floyd, and Pac there for me

    Haha yeah that's jus an ommission based on copy and paste on my phone trying to delete names and keep them somewhere so I know who's been ranked. Guess I forgot about them 3 letters. He can be put up there in the same bracket; maybe just as good a sbw as morales and certainly a very good featherweight plus that 4 point swing against jmm up at sfw has been overlooked by far too many people when the career is weighed up.

    Lewis is always above Calzage by the way.

    Edited my list around. Not really sure what I was thinking keeping joe that high. The winner of s6 probably overtakes him anyways.

    Spreading out what tito and shane did over 3 weights is better than what joe did in 1. It can't really be denied.

    I probably still have norris and zoo too high maybe they should drop down a level.
