    To the mexicans fans (And some of them known clowns) mentioning Duran.

    You have many great fighters to choose from you dont need to try and claim Duran.

    Hes from Panama through and through.

    I do think the top 3 have to be chavez, sanchez and olivares.

    But I do think morales and jmm have enough gas left and the possible opponents to enter that group. I think mab has done all he'll ever do now.

    All this claiming half arsed stuff, leave it out. But if you are going to claim duran, how can you not put him number 1!

    Every so often I too feel the need to just give in and swim amongst the trolls, it can't be helped.

    I'm starting to ponder about doing a floyd vs robinson thread and just chucking everyone who votes floyd into my ignore list. Then doing a who's greater hopkins or joe thread and chucking all the ones who vote for joe into my ignore list. I'm sure then esb will be much better.

    For the sake of esb I hope the vast majority vote in favour of robinson.

    Juan Manuel Marquez. The man is all heart, incredibly intelligent in the ring, amazing boxing skills. Closely followed by Eric Morales.

    What of Saldivar? Fought a better crop of fighters than any of them save perhaps Olivares, in a smaller span of fights than even Sanchez. He was also more dominant than any save perhaps Chavez (whose opposition often paled in comparison). Saldivar would rank at the very top for me.

    I cant even see making an argument for Morales.. Hes an ATG but you Morales nuthuggers are going to far here. Abilitiy wise Sanchez was possibly the best.... But Chavez has the combo of Ability and lOngevity.

    Heres my TOp 10

    Chavez
    Sanchez
    Olivares -Lopez
    Barrera
    Morales
    Marquez real close^^
    Zarate -Saldivar
    Canto

    Morales lost all 3 fights imo. Mab beat Hamed, and Mab gave Jmm hell if we're going the 'many people thought he won' thought. Mabs resume is not shabby bruh. Em beat Pac so that counts, but I need more than just what you're saying.
