    Of almost everyones top ten/top five lists.

    Willie Pep is a recognized ATG but most have him falling just a hair short of the top end of their lists.

    To be honest i have barely seen a soul not have Pep at the very least in their 10, and many have him top 5. Good thread tho, should be interesting.

    Everyone I have ever seen make a list has Willie Pep in there top 10, many have him in there top 5. I personally have him as my # 1 fighter of all time

    But to answer your question.......How bout Pernell Whitaker. Never seen him in a top 10 list. but he is an ATG.

    Duran should never be top 5, if you rank him top 5, you're overrating his resume and legacy.
