    What I find funny is that a lot of people rank hagler above hopkins, yet when someone makes a thread who ransk higher hopkins or hagler b-hop will come out on top.:D

    Could someone justify Pernell Whitaker over Sugar Ray Leonard? I think Ring Magazine had him over Leonard?

    Who are you to say he shouldn't? People have their own criteria.

    Monzon is a top 15 boxer all time, let alone top 10 since Ali. He's unquestionably ahead of everybody else in the bunch not named Duran, Leonard, Hagler, Hearns (and as you see, I find him better than most of them).

    Here's a bunch, in order:

    Ali
    Duran
    Monzon
    Leonard
    Hagler
    Hearns
    Whitaker
    Mayweather
    Griffith
    Pacquiao
    Foreman
    Jones
    Hopkins
    Chavez

    Monzon retired before Ali. He should not be included then if we're ranking boxers since Ali (but including Ali). I agree however that he is top 15.

    Perhaps, but Pat Barrett would've stolen B-Hop's lunch money.
