    You think I should bump RJJ above Greb?

    * Duran is too high at #2.

    * RJJ and Mayweather's being anywhere near the top 10 is indefensible. Indefensible!

    * You spelled Pep's name wrong. That extra "p" points toward your perpetration of presenting a peculiarly polemic post with a parade of pugilistic poop.

    I knew you'd crucified for such a list. Any fighter who started his career from the 80's onwards in your top 10 and you're asking for it.

    I'm sure it will come out that way for me, yes. While not having thought much on it i really don't think i can find him a spot above Duran.

    So today it's the 80s. Before it was the 40s. Let's get serious here: make a defense for either of these guys being above Ray Leonard -never mind guys like Armstrong.

    Today it's the 80's, last week it was the 40's, next week it could be the 20's, maybe it could be the 70's, but more than likely it will be the 60's.

    Your right I forgot Leonard, pop him in above Pep and drop Henry out the top 10

    My argument is simple, P4P is about how fighters compete if they were the same weight and Mayweather comfortably beats Armstrong for my money as does Duran, as does Whitaker

    If Armstrong weighed 168 does he beat RJJ? He could well lose every round

    I can't see anyone living with a Prime RJJ P4P, including Greb, he'd most likely lose a wide wide UD. And they fought at the same weight so RJJ has to be up there
