    If you scored the Trindad and at least Mosley 2 against Oscar, why should anyone value your opinion on boxing?


    Oscar took the risks, he fought them all. He proved he was better in the ring than most, even if the judges were watching something else.

    That list is horrific.

    Cotto and Mooreer aren't top 45 much less 25
    They also seemingly ignored everything below featherweight(Nonito, Wonjongkam, H. Gonzalez, R.Gonzlez, R. Marquez)
    Not to mention Winky Wright and Terry Norris

    I think this guy made a mistake. Wlad should be #7 instead of #17.

    Big fan of Cotto but 14 is a stretch in my opinion.

    I'm surprised I'm the only vote for Hopkins. Career greatness should be about record, quality of scalps, consistency, and longevity, not peak pound-for-pound ability. So I think despite how great Roy looked for a few years and his win over him Hopkins deserves the accolades as the greater fighter.

    Rafael Marquez, Tapia, Calderon, Mark Johnson, Winky Wright at least deserve to be above Michalczweski. Roman Gonzalez is every bit as deserving as current fighters Floyd, Pac, Ward, Wlad Klitschko.

    Lopez was not better than Chavez and Whitaker in any aspect. Even if you go only for skills/abilty I wouldn't buy it.

    Bare in mind the early part of Whitaker and Chavez's career isn't included. Only what occurred after Jan 1st 1990
