    Good stuff, though I still think Morales should have been higher.

    That's probably the exact same list as I had, or I might of possibly had 1 name different to that list, but it's a very respectable list no doubt.

    I like the way you've presented it aswell good job :good.

    EDIT: Is this in order btw?

    Their resumes only reflect fights from 1998 to the present. The Hopkins, and Toney fights were in '94 and '93. Those fights should not count on this list.

    As far as the lineal title, I think he did but I am not sure... I think everyone recognized him as the champ at 175, but can someone verify?

    That list that Lewis beat is flat out awesome, it really shows how bad HW boxing has become.

    Calzaghe actually missed the cut by one vote, it was that close. He would be #11 if we did top 15.
