    i think the general gist of the list is good and sound.we can always argue that fighters should be in different positions especially in the top ten,but there's nothing really outrageous in there.

    Because in my opinion they are marginally, very marginally, greater fighters pound-for-pound because their combined ability and achievement amount to greater than Hopkins's. I am a big fan of B-Hop, but his resume lets him down a little.

    Holyfield had a FAR better resume than Hopkins, as did Lewis. Holyfield was an ATG at two weights as well, while Lewis was just as dominant(aside from his two hiccups) against better opposition as Hopkins.

    Griffith should be as high as #4, Napoles a bit higher as well. Harada should be on the list, as has been said. Spinks should be higher. Ortiz should be WAAAAAY higher, as in top 7 or so. Rodriguez is another that was left off who should be top 10.
