    Wlad
    Roman Gonzalez
    Nonito Donaire
    Andre Ward
    Canelo / Froch
    Mosley
    Cotto
    GGG
    Martinez

    Keep in mind every list is subjective, depending on criteria, and some of these fighters I am much more educated with than others. I personally struggled here, so would like to see other posters views.

    But the first 4 are all bona-fide ATGs and first ballot HOFs. They deserve top 4 IMO.

    I agree with the first 4, but think Froch is a bit too high. He never really dominated his division.

    LMFAO!!!! Are you high? Who did GGG ever beat that is better than Ward's best wins? Ward is 10000 light years greater than GGG.

    I am not a big Ward fan. In this list? These are very borderline greats, but I will make it.. Let me make the list on the next post.. Ward to me has an incomplete record.

    Lol
    Ward is not that great. Decent boxer, but great?
    Canelo is too high, should be in the bottom of the list, because of steroids/corruption.
    Wlad is way too low.

    Embarrassingly so.

    I was as bored by the Wlad era as much as anyone but give the guy his dues.

    Why? Basically cleaned out 168 easily went up to 175 and took on a killer when people said he wouldn't and beat him 2x Ward has one of the best resumes of the era.
