    Top ten .... probably not. That being said, I wouldn't argue with anyone who put him there.

    I do think top 20 is fair.

    I'm with both of these gents. He's at least great enough that I don't immediately write off someone rating him in the top ten somewhere, but I think he fits better somewhere in the late teens to thirty. Mixing his name up around guys like Canzoneri, Pete, Chabbit, etc.

    For what it's worth, he placed #16 on the All Time Survey from the Classic Forum a few years back.

    There’s definitely an argument for it. His achievements are crazy, and he has several great wins over great fighters.

    But once you’re into that level of greatness - it’s pretty hard to differentiate in my opinion, and just being in the mix is about as good as it gets!

    He's certainly the greatest to come from the leprechaun divisions. I agree with top 20, but if you're gonna put him in your top 10 go for it.

    So according to you, if Manny is below Floyd that makes him number 2.

    Around Top 15 range for me. He’s accomplished a lot and has done extraordinary feats. Also wins over 8 HOFers is something to take into consideration.
