    The welter and fly ones have lots of good points, all lists are faulted to some degree in the eyes of some fans though, so it's inevitable that all lists will ship criticism.

    The Flyweights are the worst, if for no other reason than Wonjongkam making it. Why the hell did that list have to be made on the eve of his victory over Kameda?

    The Heavyweight list is a very good, balanced list. No surprise as its the most known and looked at.

    I knew you'd point that out though, i remember you kicking off at the time of him being mentioned on the voting thread. In defense of that list though there are many of the right names, you could change the order though.

    Heavyweight is a good list. Dempsey is the only name I have a real problem with.

    I'd like for someone here to tell me why Manny Pacquiao should be on the list of Featherweights.

    Because he beat that mug Barerra.

    Feather is where it started getting hard because the limit changed a few times back in the day.

    Yeah, exactly. He doesn't deserve a placement, let's be honest. Being a funny **** aside.

    I didnt put him in but from memory some guys only ranked more modern fighters because there wasnt a consensus on the weight limit until the 20's I think.

    Even so, Barrera actually deserves to be ranked ahead of Manny at 126lbs, who had three fights at that weight and didn't even win them all. Outrageous.

    Well Marco didnt have all that many either I guess.

    Depends on how much mileage his destruction of MAB gets opposed to Barerra's body of work there.

    I felt Manny beat Marquez the first time around aswell....and we all know JMM is ATG.

    Regardless of whether Barrera should be above Pacquiao, that's a tangent, Pacquiao is in that list and shouldn't be, we know that.
