    Agreed. Hell, even Stallone is in a hall of famer, lol.

    Robinson had the greatest skill set of any fighter in the history of the sweet science. That is why I rate Robinson #1 pound for pound and Greb #2. :good

    I think he definitely had the greatest combination of power, speed and chin (as one package). I have no doubt Gavilan would be the best fighter on the planet were he fighting today. Robinson does appear to be several generations ahead of his time if only athletically compared to most of his oppo, though he undoubtedly built a far deeper resume than Leonard. SRL can however, hang with anybody as far as very best wins are concerned though IMO.

    This is right.

    Manny is above Mayweather, however much I love Mayweather, Manny is the 8 division champ and has beat everyone from Sasakul to Margarito. That is mental. Mayweather, although the best superfeatherweight of all time, had a dead reign until he beat Hatton and then Cotto.

    the list to me is
    Leonard
    Pacman
    Chavez
    Morales
    Mayweather
    Cotto I think Cotto could be left out of this list. I love Miguel, but he does not belong here.

    Leonard had the more meaningful fights (despite most being rematches)

    Manny = Flyweight, Bantamweight, Superbantamweight, Featherweight, Superfeatherweight, Lightweight, Light Welterweight, Welterweight, Light Middleweight champion
    = 8 divisions (if you include IBO light welterweight title with Ricky Hatton)
    Complete monster.
