    Canzoneri is surely lock for number 1...Absolutely mind boggling record.

    You know, I like most of your posts but this is the worst I have seen of you.

    Please give me the argument to rank Chavez and Arguello above Canzoneri. I just can't see it.

    So Canzoneri is either #1 or #5 on the majority of the lists. I wonder what that says.

    Canzoneri has an immense resume and the small footage I've seen of him paints him to be a big puncher. Even though I don't have a wide knowledge of his style/repitoire(spelling?) I'd say he's a lock for the top 15 on resume alone.

    2. Arguello
    3. Chavez
    4.Saddler
    5. Pac

    Saddler is low because whilst he, Chavez and Arguello are close, I haven't been that impressed with what I've seen of Saddler. Shouldn't really take points away for an ugly style, and he's still in my top 30.

    I hope Pac shows himself to be as good as I believe him to be. Whilst I dislike Floyd as a person, I think Pac should takethe tests THEN beat him anyway. If he was really confident he would.

    I think Floyd is the man with the history of avoiding really tough fights, however this is a different thread.

    1. Canzoneri
    2. Arguello
    3. Pacquiao
    4. Chavez
    5. Saddler

    All great fighters but i'm not deducting points from Pac for fighting in the modern era and this controversy atm. They're all very close together on my all time list actually.

    3.Alexis Arguello
    4.Manny Pacquiao
    5.Julio Cesar Chavez

    (not much between #1 and #2, or between #4 and #5. The only placing I feel sure of is #3).
