Being a Dixon fan is so cool. Dixon is like blues or horror where I really wanna be the type of guy who likes them because that type of guy is really cool but I always fail whenever I try. I don't meet the cool threshold. I hope it's like a palette you can train or something. I'll get there one day.

 

1. Joichiro Tatsuyoshi.
2. Akira Yaegashi.
3. Erik Morales.
4. Fighting Harada
5. Román González
6. Bobby Chacon
7. Jung Koo Chang
8. Juan Francisco Estrada
9. Orlando Salido
10. Katsunari Takayama
    
    Not counting guys like Duran, Canzoneri, Pacquiao, etc.
    
    The ordering was tricky and 2-3 guys missed out. Really the only placements that are concrete are the top 4. 5-12 are always swapping with each other.
    
    For fun the others in contention were Israel Vasquez, Moon, Yabuki, and Tapia
    
    Edit: Wait did Marquez really not fight at welterweight? Shoot that makes things harder.

 

I am assuming that they could have fought Welter but started below? In no order

Julio Cesar Chavez
Roberto Duran
Pernell Whitaker
Salvador Sanchez
Wilfredo Gomez
Michael Carbajal (I know he lost the rubber, but...)
Alexis Arguello
Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquiao
Willie Pep

 

Marquez can’t be either, quite right, I’ll replace Leonard with Prince Naz. Seems like replacing a gourmet burger with a McDonalds quarter pounder but such is life
