    Pretty woeful stuff. I think I'm content with an order of Robinson, Leonard, Gavilan, Napoles and Armstrong at the moment. Hearns is an absolute monster in terms of his attributes, ability and skill level, but hard to rate in a Greatness sense at 147. He lost the fight that would've elevated him there.

    I wouldn't have Floyd in the top 20 welters. And that's being generous.

    No argument there.

    Graham is a somewhat forgotten fighter. He can hardly even garner mentions in discussion of Great Chins. :-( Being completely objective, I didn't see him winning the third fight with Gavilan though, which would've made him Champion.

    No, I never understood the controversy there. Some people continued to spout it even when the footage became readily available! :patsch
