    Mayorga, Dingaan Thobela

    Broner wasn’t bad for a two division champ. The guys who were champs in three or more divisions were almost unanimously better though.

    Man, poor Arce getting **** on. He was a phenom in his own right when he was having televised barn burners month after month after month. I thought Arce used to be loved by boxing fans, didn't know there was a falling from grace for the man.

    With 4 ABC's now....you need an Excel Spreadsheet to figure it out.
    Back in the WBA/WBC days, there was "The Champ, then "the other guy".

    I agree. Ricky Hatton deserves to be on the list.

    Broner and Garcia, Garcia has potential. but winning 4 titles before having great career means something was too easy. Hearns and Duran won the 4 titles after the careers were basically wrapped up. It was icing on the cake. These guys now win titles and you don't even know they won 2 earlier because it was so insignificant.

    Garcia is potentially a great fighter and, imo comfortably in the top 4 p4p at the moment .

    4 weight titlists were always greats before they reached it. Right now he is not great. There have been many potentially great. Donald Curry comes to mind. He has not fought anyone really great to show he deserves anything near the great title.
