    In the last 25 years Roberto Duran has boxed...why the **** is he not on that list? Is the criteria whether you've boxed in the last 25 years which puts you in the spotlight, or whether you've boxed a premium performance? If it's former then I'm having Duran in there.

    No everything that occurred after 90 and he didn't really beat anyone after 1990 to make him worthy of the list. Otherwise Leonard should make it too as he had 2 fights after

    True.

    Because I'm biased as **** I'm having Diego Corrales and Arturo Gatti on my list...if only for entertainment value.

    After 1990 remember and Tyson aura was crushed in his 1st fight of the decade by Douglas and not long after he went to jail and the year after he returned he was beaten by Holyfield and it was all downhill from there.

    Bear in mind, this is from the start of 1990, so technically Whitaker only has an 18-3 record to be ranked that high off.
