    Well, at strawweight there isn't much to compare with Lopez. At light-fly there are far more accomplished fighters.

    At 140 Pryor was a beast whilst his flame wa burning; H2H possibly the best, but again, I'd have him between 80-100; based on a mix of talent and resume, which really isn't that deep.

    Rosendo Alvarez is deserving and underrated especially on this forum.


    First one that jumped out was Lennox Lewis at 32:patsch Hell no! He barely cracks the top 10 heavys. Do you really think hes more accomplished than many of the others below him?

    But i have to give you credit , Actually your list is better than alot of others that ive seen. I mean most of us can pick apart any list but this one is good for the most part. Canizales should be higher Sanchez,Delahoya,Spinks too. Good picks for the most part

    Except Lennox Lewis!

    I think those are all pretty fair except Lopez is too Low,Pryor could be a little higher. Ill wait for Pac and May to get on,but i think Pac is a very accomplished fighter and will be rated much higher by you and other posters here in a few years. If he retires today I wouldnt have a problem with him around 15, and NO i Am not a *******.

    There is 0 chance of rating Alvarez A) Above Saad B) In the top 200.

    I know you rate Alvarez but thats mainly because you're a massive fan of Lopez. I admire Lopez's skillset as much as anyone but he is NOT a top 50 ATG.

    Sorry man.

    He hasn't learned about them. He's one of the most notorious trolls on the site, and knows jack **** about boxing.

    That much is true with just a quick glance at his list.

    Hello mate.

    well, I think there are a few 'tiers'; you have your locks; absolute genius', iconic figures. These are the top 30. 30-50 are seriously good fighters that have proved themselves umpteen times at the highest level.

    50-80 are good, solid fighters that have proven their worth but either don't have the depth in resume or were inconsistent at times.

    80-100; well known fighters that either A)had immense talent or not the resume to match B) Decent careers C) Some great wins amongst some tat.

    It's hard to say who I think is an 'ATG' but in short, those are some of the patterns that emerged when I first attempted my lists. Only started including pre-Louis fighters in the last few months so obviously my list needs a complete re-doing. We learn new things every day so the lists always changes but looking at yours it appears to be a fairly solid top 40 (debatable of course and some strange placings but then there is always gonna' be with a list like these) and then a list of 150 more fighters, with no thought with placings and people included for bizarre reasons (Alvarez, despite what Anarci said is nowhere near the top 200 AND isn't even a top 10 light-fly, H2H or resume wise IMO)

    So, fair play for having a go Asero, but I think I'll wait for Manassa's before really going in depth with analysing one. Because as he will be able to talk back/discuss/explain it will actually be a debate worth having:good

    Eusebio Pedroza could be higher he was champ for a long time against some good opposition. Very good tall rangery Boxer,did what it took to win even if he fought outside the rules at times. He was very difficult to beat in his prime.

    Agreed. I'd have him between 50-60 I reckon. Dominant, cagey, tough and intelligent. Very hard to beat. Too many dismiss him beacuse of his dirty tactics and the loss to McGuigan. Those people don't know ****:lol:

    I agree at his best he would beat most heavys in a hth. but i cant forgive him getting KTFOD by good but not that good heavys like Rahman and Mccall, and thats when he was in his prime. Also thought Mercer edged him. Just to many great fighters in all weight classes to put him so high. I dont remember anyone ever considering him the Top PFP guy maybe top 5 at the highest. To be rated as high as you had him he would have to be PFP #1 guy at least at one time or if not a top 2or 3.

    he set the record straight in the rematch just as what ray leonard did when he forced duran to quit...see most people still rank leonard in the top 3 WW and duran is not even in their top 15 WW
