    I'm dissaponted by how few of you put the greatest boxer to never hold a title , Luis 'King Kong' Ortiz at the top of the tree. How anyone could ever put the likes of Stevenson, Gavilán and Rigondeaux ahead of this boxing luminary has just left me utterly dumb founded..........:eyepop:

    Cuban boxers in the pros are useless. Let's be straight here and not beat around the bush.

    Absolutely! Lara is arguably undefeated still. I thought he beat both Williams and Canelo cleanly. Poor guy is this generations Mike McCallum.

    It's a shame those amateur monsters could not become pro because of comunism. Probably Savón is the best of all of them (the best of the amateurs, I mean). Arguable, ofc.
