    I agree with everything there. Might move Oscar up to tier 1, but that's really it, and it's not a major issue.

    Swap Hopkins and Calzaghe for one and elevate Lewis to the top tier for another just to start. :-(

    Are they not only divided into tiers on how you see each fighter, but also in order?

    Pacquaio
    Jones
    Hopkins
    Mayweather

    Oscar
    Lewis
    Morales and so on?

    whilst I view Lewis as greater and do agree with your H2H valuation I'm still of the belief as time progresses the difference will become less apparent.

    Tier 2 is way higher than Tier 1. Tier one the way you have it is all the blown up air bags of boxing. Tier 2 is the reason we watch boxing.

    It's true. It's easy to claim to be the best when you fight washed up has beens, weight drained fighters, and won't even fight each other like the two main hype jobs on there. Imagine Morales and Barrera not fighting each other, or Trinidad and DLH. Those two ****heads are rated way too high.
