    My pick goes to Duran. Nothing but a poor mans Aaron Pryor.

    Honorable mention, Vitali Klitschko, how do you get famous for ****ing losing?

    Ali is likely the most overrated ever.

    How many Lightweight's compete with a top 3 ATG MW when they are well past their prime?:yep

    It's not the wins, and it's not like Duran doesn't have his fair share of highly impressive wins.

    You guys really blow my minds sometimes.

    Exactly! How the **** do people think he is a top ten ATG? That means in the history of boxing, people can't name 10 people better than Duran?!? Get the **** out of here.

    If Duran is a top 10 fighter than where is Hearns?

    Ali is overrated because nobody even thinks about mentioning any of his MANY flaws, it's always a fixation that he's some type of nearly unbeatable god in his prime, when that's FAR from the case. He's just automatically accepted as a fighter you can't even criticise and it's just ridiculous.

    Accomplishment wise he ranks as the best HW. H2H wise, he's not even in the consideration against the last couple of decades of modern elite's, in my opinion.

    Not saying he isn't very good, but a top 10 ever! That is just mind boggling.

    Hearns is a top 10 in my book mate. But Duran at 135-147 H2H, CRUSHES so many fighters, it's not even really worth discussing if you think that he's not one of the 10 best the sport's had.

    You think Floyd beats Duran? The **** who almost lost to Castillo.

    You think that Hearns is one of the 10 greatest fighters to ever lace up gloves regardless of weight???????????? What the **** are you smoking, tell me, because it got to be some good ****. Hearns was a wonderful fighter, but ALL of his big fights he lost. And lost by knockout! ****ing knockouts.

    And yes Floyd beats Duran at any weight. Floyd isn't there to hit. Pot shots and just winning rounds.
