    That's a pretty stacked resmue to me. I think anywhere from 15-30 is a good spot for Arguello. I might be a little biased since he is one of my favorite fighters but I try to be objective.

    I'm getting roasted on Fitz. Though he will never be in my top 10. I might wanna go back and make another assessment on him.

    Zarate might be the greatest bantamweight ever so a top 50 ranking is definately justified.

    I dont entirely agree with all of them, but no ADDIE just fine you tend to underrated Modern day greats. Fedor has a good perspective on them.

    Although i think he rates Fitz to low i dont think its a joke to have Holy And Chavez high in fact id put them higher.

    To be honest- I am surprised we don't have more people hollering that Pacquiao is 10+ spots ahead of mayweather-

    But Resume for Resume- I like this and your others a lot.

    Quick Q- if a fighter beats another one currently, do they replace them? Or do you go stricktly by who beat who?

    My point wasn't that the placings of Holyfield and Chavez were horribly wrong (though I do think Holyfield is unjustifiably high at #24), my point was that it is horribly wrong to have Holyfield and Chavez so far ahead of two vastly superior fighters in Fitzsimmons and McLarnin.

    I dont put Mclarnin above Chavez :nono Or even Fitz but you could make a case for Fitz. Holyfield is probably place right i only have him a couple spots higher i have Chavez much higher.

    Good cause im tired of laying Chavez resume down and proving how much greater he was than people think.
    One other thing i dont need no help! Im highly confident in my knowledge of the Sweet Science from 1800s to present:bart
