    yeah, pac did cross my mind...it's an interesting dilemma. if a guy is a PED cheater, does he deserve to be listed among the top fighters? is lance armstrong still considered the greatest cyclist? is marion jones still a 2000 gold medalist? is a-rod still a great ballplayer? points to ponder...

    good point....but jww are also considered close enough to lw that it makes sense to lump them together....after all, a couple of decades ago, they were all lw.

    i consider kostya tszyu worthy of honorable mention as well...but more toward the lower half of the next 10.

    OK, obviously i mis-read and thought you were talking about pacquiao. benny leonard of course would never make my list...if you ask me, he doesn't belong on any modern list of atg fighters....maybe if this was back during your day, like 1936. :D

    Him claiming to be the best ever and not really taking the few guys who are capable of beating him.

    your argument is childish and lacks insight.

    - benny leonard is not on my list because he belongs to a different era when fighters basically sucked....henry armstrong is on my list because even though he was from that era, he was a fighter ahead of his time, like srr, rjj, ali and even louis. if this was back in your era of 1936 he would be #1 pfp of all time.

    - pacman refused to be tested which means his entire career is suspect. however, mosley only started using PEDs to make the jump from lw to ww. the lw portion of his career was untouched by the PED allegations.

    now that you've been schooled, go sit the fcuk down have a coke and a smile a stfu.:D

    Well then my answer would be:

    1. Nobody really know what has happened between Floyd and Pac in the negotiations.

    2. GGG is unproven and is too big.

    but, you know what? i agree....take ggg for example wtf is wrong with ggg? why doesn't he move up and challenge wilder?

    how is his behavior of not taking a fight with guys 2, 3, 4 weight classes above his natural weight excusable?

    we need to make sure he and canelo alvarez sign their next fights against david haye!
