Great career indeed. Yeah, I also would have the Ramirez fight outside his top 10 (especially since I had Ramirez ahead).
An impressive list, and there's still guys like Royal Kobayashi, Vilomar Fernandez, Lionel Hernandez, Art Hafey, Jose Luis Ramirez etc. that...
Whitaker looked pretty sloppy at 154 imo, but Floyd seemed sub par himself. Didn't impress me in the DLH fight at all, despite being in better...
Gutted :-(
Marquez has a much better argument for beating Pac than what Laporte does for beating Chavez. It's rare to find someone that thinks Laporte won...
I pretty much agree with Steve's points but to add some things: Chavez got hit plenty by Taylor yes, but Pac would not throw punches in bunches...

It is when you consider that Taylor fought one of the best fights of the decade. Taylor was simply superb, and yet Chavez found a way to win...
Chavez was simply more effective than Barrera at doing what he did, making him a better fighter. Barrera did some things better than Chavez sure,...
Chavez was much more a pressure fighter than Barrera who liked to mix it up at mid range more and fancied himself as a counter puncher at times...
He beat Meldrick Taylor too. And Rocky Lockridge, who imo is no worse a fighter than Juan Manuel Marquez. And Jose Luis Ramirez, who is about as...
Barrera and Chavez similar? In what way? Barrera is no where near as strong, has no where near the chin and nowhere near the ability to press a...
Did you think Pac took Juan Manuel Marquez? What does Marquez have that Chavez lacks? Other than a lesser jaw, lead right hand, left hook to the...
I don't doubt Pac-Floyd would be hyped as the greatest showdown of all time, but I simply don't see Pacquiao being on Chavez's level. Azumah...
If Floyd fought guys the calibre of McGirt, Tito, DLH and Chavez in his third or second or any division he calls home, I' sure you'd find few...
