    There can't be many 15 year olds around who would even know these guys, let alone possessing knowledge of them and being able to rank them.

    You have incredible knowledge George, and I always look forward to reading your posts. Especially on the lower weight fighters.

    It's crazy knowledge, even now as a young man in your early 20's.


    I don't think I'd be able to compile a list.

    It would be too hard after you got past the first 30.


    But I like the tier guys what is often used, and not a specific number.

    In no way, shape or form is Ali 3rd, ahead of SRR and Armstrong.

    Jofre over Pacquiao. I can't see it, personally.

    How about we just debate Pacquiao vs Jofre?

    I edited my response though, it was ruder than I meant it to be.

    Also, having Chang but not Gonzalez or Carbajal is a take I don't agree with at all. I think Chang was better, but by their careers I don't see it.

    On the new list I posted, which is still like more than a year ago and I don't know fully agree with it even now, has Pacquiao like 25 places above Jofre.

    I like Harada being top 50 and being above Jofre. I don't quite understand why Jofre is typically ranked the higher of the two. Harada beat him twice while they were both prime (or at least near it. Neither was drastically past it), has more impressive p4p achievements winning titles at flyweight, bantamweight plus getting screwed over at featherweight, and has better top wins.
