    I explained the Hearns thing a few posts back & Duran from 1980 onward wasnt at his best, his last peak fight was vs Leonard early 1980, all his other peak fights were in the 70s... he did look good on occasion in the 80s but not enough to be considered the best in the last 30 yrs.

    Suga, Ray, LEONARD!!! He had speed, power, heart, knew how to adapt, had chin, he was a beast in his prime. I think RJJ is one of the greatest p4p of all time, but if SRL fought at MW like he did at WW, I'd pick him to smoke RJ.

    What made you put PBF so high in your rankings?

    I voted Whitaker for fun.

    You're obviously trying to be funny by including Floyd Mayweather among the nominees.

    You succeeded, I laughed.

    As much as I bash Floyd, you'll never see me denying the man's skills in the ring.
