Quite a few full fights, don`t know the exact number... he`s one of my favourite fighters to watch. The 2 Lopez performances in particular are probably in my top 10 boxing clinics of great fighters vs quality opposition.
If it is, he only posts as Frank from one computer in one location, because his IP ties in with exactly nobody's.
Frank isn't a troll.. he just has a wild rating system for fighters.. well sans a few names. Mine would be, and I would like to add, I'm in the minority here.. but just don't see how more people don't have Whitaker in their top ten. I understand he doesn't have as many fights as some.. not as long a title reign as some.. but if you weight in h2h capability and being the best fighter P4p in world.. for what.. at least 4 years imo.. plus being one of the best fighters on film.. plus completly and totally dominating some great fighters like very few ever have... I just don't see how he is not on more lists. 1. SRR 2. Armstrong 3. Ali 4. Duran 5. Langford 6. Whitaker 7. Fitz 8. Greb (based solely on resume) 9. Holy 10. Charles
Pep is top ten in an all time sense for me.. but this is strictly pound for pound i thought.. and the fighters I listed, to me, were more proven going up in weight and most were clear p4p best in the world for a period of time.
Yeah, they are great but don't you think Castillo, Cowdell and Ford gave him enough hassle to show he wasn't completely infallible and one of the top ten fighters of all time? Even going on your criteria, he didn't always replicate the form of Gomez, Lopez x2. I rank him really, really highly myself, probably as highly as you do if you take out all the fighters I have in my top 50 you'd refuse to watch (not a dig, fact) and I love watching him fight. It just comes across to me that some forget he wasn't completely flawless. He was admittedly super tough at feather, at bantam he could be wobbled. Going off on a tangent here; without fighting Pedroza his reign will always be a disappointment, as will Pedroza's for not fighting Sal'. They wouldn't have done even if Sanchez had lived and that is a crying shame that the no.1 and no.2 didn't fight each other. After Pedroza slayed Ford would've been the best time IMO. Neither man did much until towards the end of '81. Sanchez beat Gomez and Cowdell towards the end of that year while Pedroza banged out Sibaca. Sal' was having the better of it but Pedroza had severely outclassed Ford earlier on in the year while Sal' beat Castanon and Perez. Wish they could've fit it in with the winner to fight Gomez on the same date.

Love the list, but I'd drop a few of the jokers with losses for unbeaten thoroughbreds Harry Simon, Samson Dutch Boy Jim, and Jimmy Barry. I feel nautious even having to include fighters with draws on here....but generosity has its place.
