    Marquez at the bottom, then Tito.

    I'd need to think about it for a while to make my mind up for the other three.

    I think Mccallum was a great fighter ,but on another thread i saw him ranked ridiculously high, someone had him 11th for the past 30 years. Imo he just makes the top 30 along with these other excellent fighters on his level.

    he can be overrated sometimes yeah, but he's at least as worthy as guys like Barrera and Morales of those kind of rankings.Just mentioning those two because they were getting simiarly high placements by a lot of posters.

    I've never really understood what people see in Trinidad.

    He had a good run of title defenses at welter and was a big time puncher.

    Wins over Vargas,Reid and Joppy were also impressive when he moved up.

    Yeah, he has a decent record at face value, but as a fighter I've always perceived him to be rather limited, relying almost wholly on his power and making quite repetitive moves. Bit of an overacheiver I would say.

    Well i think i kind of agree with you then:think Tito was definitely a force in his prime, but i agree he was beateable when challenged by an elite opponent with the right style.

    I think Tito is in the right company with the guys that i mentioned. I can pump the other guys up and also nit pick like i did with TITO. Bottom line all great figters with a couple???? along the way to prevent the from being even higher.

    How about

    Tito v Quartey/Whitaker 94-97, I say he loses to both at that stage
