    Addie how is that having a chip on my shoulder? The reason i was asking opinions on these 5 is because theres not much seperating them.

    I said his list was great but that I'd have Pryor lower because he's become increasingly overrated in my view. Would you like me to justify every placement...that would be no problem for me. No problem at all. I stay the **** away from subject matters I know nothing about, like Jim Watt vs Humberto Soto for example.

    I like your top 2 very much myself.Michael Spinks' resume is top notch at LH,going undefeated and beating men like Dwight Muhammed Qawi,Marvin Johnson,Eddie Mustafa Muhammed and Yaqui Lopez,amongst others.He is arguable the greatest lightheavyweight ever.I have nothing but respect for Thomas Hearns and his accomplishments,but nobody believes that about him at welterweight.These choices are very close,however,as all of them are terrific fighters.My 5 are:1.Marvelous Marvin Hagler.2.Michael Spinks.3.Evander Holyfield.4.Roy Jones.5.Thomas Hearns

    1.Hagler
    2.Spinks
    3.Jones
    4.Holyfield
    5.Hearns-I would have had Tommy higher, but his stamina weakchin and overall lack of balance hurt him. They say that Dundee said that if Hearns had any balance he would have beaten them all in the 80s. I don't know about that.

    Holy wasnt robbed in 84, he was stupid. He was warned for hitting on the break 3 times, He was warned hed be DQed if it happened again. He was in complete control and didnt need to do it at all. HE WAS JUST STUPID

    As for the thread

    I cant split Spinks and Holy, both were dominant in their own weight divisions, basically unbeatable, both stepped up to fight significantly bigger men, very good bigger men. Holy has more quality wins at heavy but Spinks beat the better champ and moved up more.

    Jones, similar to the previous two, although he doesnt have the quality of wins at LH and Heavy he should have been at 168. He was easily under the LH limit during his best years but went up and got titles at LH and HW. DM is as much to blame as Jones for the two not meeting

    Hagler was dominant in his division, but his best wins are over smaller men. Hart could bang but was shaky, Briscoe was old. I dont think Sibson, Vito, Obel, Hamsho were anything special. There were great fights at LH for him while he was champ. I cant rank him over the guys above despite the fact he is possibly a better all round fighter.

    Hearns is my personal favourite out of this bunch and on his night beats anyone from 147-154 in my opinion. The problem for me is he didnt dominate any particular weight class (my #1 at 154 ever) nor does he have a genuine great victory over a comparable man (Hill victory maybe, Duran was a smaller man and past his best, i do see the same result regardless however and Cuevas was limited)

    BRo watch that fight in the Olympics one more time. Holy cant be blamed for that blow his punch was in mid air when the bell rang. Everyone knows that Holy was smoking everyone in the olympics, and the refs countreyman was gonna fight him in the final.

    The fix was in. COMPLETE BULL**** !!!!!
