    #01: Tony
    #02: Ross
    #03: McLarnin
    #04: Ambers

    All are ATGs of the highest order, and I can see either of the first two being in the top 10 P4P.

    Ross
    Canz
    McLarnin
    Ambers
    Very hard to quick between McLarnin and Amber's for me. Razor thin.
    Canz is clearly above them for me and I have Ross slightly better than Canz.
    All are great great fighters. Big fan of all of them.

    So it seems like there is a minor consensus about McLarnin and Ambers being at #3 and #4 respectively with Canzoneri and Ross being interchangeable at #1 and #2.

    I think it's a great shame that Ross and Ambers never fought.
