    1. Tony Canzoneri (pretty easy choice)
    2. Sandy Saddler
    3. Alexis Arguello (close call between #2 and #3, could switch up)
    4. Julio Cesar Chavez
    5. Manny Pacquiao (very skeptical of the guy right now)

    Don't know a lot about Saddler and Canzoneri, so I will rank the other three:

    Chavez, Pacquaio, Arguello.

    Pacquaio will lose to Mayweather, almost certainly.

    But what has Saddler got over him.

    Pacquaio has as good a resume, across more weights and is fromt he modern era. Both have losses and Pacquaio was kind of outboxed by JMM. But that doesn't matter he is up against Saddler not Calzaghe here.

    Pacquaio has the greater list of achievements and is superior H2H.

    In 15 years everyone will put Pacquaio above him, why can you people not just open your minds up now? There is no need for this waiting.

    I can admire these principles somewhat at least.

    My personal ambition is to rewrite history through aliases and a media career as a boxing commentator in America, with the consequences of convincing the public into accepting Joe Calzaghe as their GOAT, somewhat similar to Barry McGuigan on the topic of Calzaghe being the best ever British fighter.

    But yes, **** the public.

    This weight jumping argument is utter bull**** in my view. The guy has never been undisputed champion or even comprehensively dominated any division he has ever fought in. Hell in 4 of the classes he hasn't even fought what was considered the best fighter in the division. What Saddler did at feather trumps what Asero would call Pac's TIMELINESS:roll:

    People perhaps blow Saddler's achivements and abilites up a little, to help justify the folklore and legend of Willie Pep.

    Robin Reid, the Olympic medal winning, underachieving super-talent, whom was occasionally brilliant is my Saddler.

    But I am wrong of course.
