    Damn...that list makes me cringe. How did you come up with those fighters? Only one of them is a sure-fire HOFer.

    No interest in trying to rank those five.

    Edit: Strange list to put together.

    to be honest, not as bizzare as giving DM props and putting him first.
    the ranking is suppose to be on a fighter's career, not how good you actually thought he could have been.

    Guys, lay off the OP.

    There is a cohesive thread. All five were considered real forces in their prime, and fell short of long-term expectations for various reasons. Their overall achievements can easily be compared.

    i can't believe people are giving DM props in this thread when it's related to achievement and not talent.

    DM might have been a very talented fighter but ranking him above fighters who achieved something at the highest level is a slap in the face for those who did it imo.

    23 title defenses is nothing? I know it's the WBO, but...

    Ricky doesn't even have that many title fights.

    add linear LHW title, unified champion, belts at LHW and CW, straight
    48-0 record, his only fault is that he never fought Jones Jr.
