    An impressive list, and there's still guys like Royal Kobayashi, Vilomar Fernandez, Lionel Hernandez, Art Hafey, Jose Luis Ramirez etc. that haven't made the cut.

    Hell of a career the man had. I kept Ramirez off my list because it wasn't one of his better overall performances, in fact he arguably lost. Would've been one of the better names, though.

    Great career indeed. Yeah, I also would have the Ramirez fight outside his top 10 (especially since I had Ramirez ahead).

    Jose Legra was a good name on his resume

    He was pretty much shot by the time the younger Arguello got to him.

    I'll take this list. It sounds about right.

    I havent seen the fight but Ive heard a few people say the same thing... AA must have had an off night IMO, far better fighter than Ramirez.

    Arguello would have got on top of him if it was a 15 rounder, but it was also a styles thing. Ramirez had a great chin and could hold his own in a battle where a fighter stands in front of him and tries to duke it out with him.

    Nice. And fighters like Royal Koboyashi, Andy Ganigan, Art Hafey, Billy Costello, Rigoberto Riasco, etc were also good names on his resume.
