    Top 5 atg and would beat everyone today up to 154lbs. Mosley would be a classic.

    Either number 1 or 2, it's between him and Robinson for me.

    He is very great....a Atg but nothing he did at LW where he gets all this phony credit from was better than his win against Leonard which was a ****ing amazing win....but him quitting agaisnt Leonard in the rematch hurt and his loss to Benitez, there is no way he should sniff the top 10...and he should not be rated ahead of Leonard, Hagler, or Hearns ....sorry to break up this love fest....Very Great but Very Overrated!

    **** off, if Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns were natural lightweights like he was he would have ****ing destroyed them. He is the most dominate fighter in the history of the game at his natural weight. No one else comes close! He was 62-1!

    Think of how much natural size he was giving up to these guys at welterweight and middleweight. He was a lightweight fighting at middleweight and winning a title. That would be like Haggler moving up to heavyweight.

    Not a single one of them would have beaten him if they were they were a natural 135.

    if IFS counted dweeb......the bottom line is he quit like a ***** after talking about Leonard' s family in the 1st fight Ray got his ass he thought Ray had forgot about that from the 1st fight he was embarrassed on epic proportions....he lost to Hagler got his brains mopped up against Hearns....he wasnt better than any of the 3 and he lost to Benitez and he ducked Arguello at lightweight....the truth hurts dont get mad...lol

    If's do count dumbass especially in boxing where there are weight classes. He was a lightwieght that beat the lineal champ at 160. How many middleweights went up to heavyweight and did that.
