    P4P, it would be something like the following, for me:

    FMJ
    Whitaker
    RJJ
    Hagler
    JCC
    Hearns

    ODLH
    Lewis
    Morales
    Trinidad

    Good list. Although on the prime-for-prime basis I'd rank Whitaker and RJJ over Floyd.

    Mine ranking would be:

    1. Whitaker
    2. RJJ
    3. FMJ
    4. Hagler
    5. Hearns

    6. JCC
    7. Morales
    8. ODLH
    9. Lewis
    10. Trinidad

    The reason why I have Morales over ODLH and Lewis is that his 2 best wins are better than any win in their respective careers (like Vargas, Quartey, old Whitaker and Chavez for Oscar or old Holyfield, Vitali and shot Tyson for Lewis). Plus, in addition, he had some other excellent wins over guys like Junior Jones and Ayala

    Lewis doesn't belong on that list, but the rest I'm good with.

    Cheers but the thread starter wasn't making a top 10 list of all time. Just where each poster would place those fighters in order out of those 10.

    Yes, if it were H2H p4p list at each fighter's respective peaks, I'd go 1) RJJ; 2) Whitaker; and 3) FMJ. When factoring in longevity and consistency to an ATG ranking, I had it the way I had it, but still close between those 3, I've no qualms with however they're ordered.

    We have Whitaker & FMJ and JCC & Hearns the other way around from each other, but otherwise our lists are identical.

    I got that, but the title of the thread said. "rank these GREATS in order", not "rank these fighters in order".
