    Where would you guys rank Nunn? He doesn't deserve a top 10 rank, but what about top 15-20? The guy looked imperious all the way up to the Kalambay KO, before two sub-par performances against Moochie and Barkley. Then there is the loss to Toney, which in hindsight, is not a 'bad' loss and the only loss he had at 160.

    Indeed. The Abrams fight was Cerdan's American début and I think everyone was impressed with that particular showing.

    He would need to beat Golovkin IMO to gain consideration. I don`t see that happening but it`s boxing so anything his possible.

    Is this list supposed to be about greatness (accomplishments, resume) or about how good they were in their prime ?
