    Rules

    1. Current Fighters- have fought at least 1 time in the last year

    2. Do not confuse athleticism for skill

    3. Skill is fundamentals, ring generalship, and the ability to make adjustments.


    1. Floyd

    2. Marquez

    3. Dawson

    4. Miguel Cotto

    5. Hopkins


    at this point I have trouble placing the rest: Chris John, Mares, Andre Dirrell,the Klits, Ward, Rigondeaux, and Martinez

    Ever, ever is much harder. That's a tall order..off the top.

    Jones Jr
    Whitaker
    Robinson
    Leonard
    Mayweather
    Ali
    Duran
    Hopkins
    ......................

    It's a hard thing to do, because I always think of their opposition, how they would do against other eras of opposition in surrounding weight classes.

    Do you give more credence to those who weight jumped and proved excellent in other classes? Or to those who stayed and crushed a division for years?
