    Pryor was very good and his performance against Arguello was incredible. But I am not sure he deserves to be that high. Most guys on that list fought for a good decade.

    None of the K brothers on that list? Or did I miss them? In my opinion, they should not be there either in that case

    At least the list was accurate there and didn't include the Klitchkos. I always thought their success has to do with size and not skill. They are just too big for anyone they fight and it is a very weak division right now.

    Aaron Pryor, Ricardo Lopez and Joe Calzaghe made the ****in' list. Anything is possible.

    Three days, almost non stop; and the gimmick of angry, angry man over this poorish list (in my opinion) is still making me chuckle! You want to see some of my attempts... Actually you should not, you might just explode.

    Spread over a few threads as well :D And a debate with the editor on twitter :lol:

    It's no gimmick either, this ain't wrasslin'! I'm selling my copy on eBay, think I'll list it now.

    Flea's assault on Tris was pretty spectacular, I'll give him that.

    Ricardo Lopez is indisputably the greatest boxer named Lopez and came out on the Soprano's and rocked the same haircut as Julius Caesar. If anything he is overqualified.

    10. Ross
    13. Canzoneri
    15. McLarnin

    Off the top of my head, but they're always ranked in that order :good

    Vano, he at least acknowledge that I'd made a good case for Harada. That was enough for me :D

    my new list :

    1- Greb
    2- SRR
    3- Armstrong
    4-Langford
    5- Joe Gans
    6-Benny Leonard
    7- Charles
    8- SRL
    9-Mickey Walker
    10-Archie Moore

    I still have SRL in the top 10......I know, I know, pretty controversial, especially without Duran......but I really rate his win over Hearns, IMHO he won clearly against Hagler, IMHO Leonard was one of the best ever H2H, etc......
    And the second fight against Duran has some good value also.....
    It´s all close anyway, it´s impossible to be 100% objective......
