    Vivian Harris?

    I'd put Kostya Tszyu higher, within top 3. (Chavez, Pryor and Tszyu in any order)

    Too early to include Khan and Bradley.

    Chavez
    Tzyu
    Pryor
    Ross
    Canzoneri
    Locce
    Benitez
    Hatton
    Cervantes
    Ortiz

    Tricky after then. I know oscar only had a couple of fights there but he beat two quality opponents impressively. Same with pac. Obviously these can't be fitting of a top ten place but they're noteworthy imo.

    You forgot about Loi! Also, what about Perkins?

    *Pryor could be above Tszyu.
    **Benitez didnt have a great career at 140. Don't confuse his overall career with his phase at 140.

    Kostya needs to be much higher he is top 3 easy and can even make the claim as best.

    No Loi? Seriously? And I'm still not sure how people rate Pryor that highly. Pryor ahead of Locche is absurd.

    Duran would actually have been the best, or one of the best, if he hadn't skipped right over the division to defeat one of the greatest welterweight champions of all time in Montreal.

    No Miguel Cotto? Cotto had a solid run at 140 and beat quite a few champions/former champions and future champions.

    Sorry, I don't think Tszyu should be top 3. JCC and Pryor destroys him any day. Ross, Benitez, to name a few beats him imho.

    It's nice to see Locche, he of Argentine fame by way of Italia, receiving a little love.

    My father used to rave about this guy.

    JCC was at his best at a lower weight.

    Glad to see Ricky Hatton on so many lists, he gets too much **** on this forum.
