    Fighters should be rated only at their natural/prime weights.

    Burley should be rated at middle and Langford at light heavy. Armstrong, Ross, Duran and Whitaker should be rated at lightweight.

    I'm talking about two his fights with Robinson. The report of the 1st fight in particular reminds very much of Duran, but a lot more awkward one. Not quite the same style, but there are similarities with what Leonard faced in the 1st fight with Duran and should have faced with Hagler had it been against a younger version of Marvelous.

    Gavilan cannot be ranked higher? He would have eaten them both on the same night, head to head, or acomplishment-wise, he's a P4P Top10 material, something Walcott or Ryan couldn't even dream of becoming.

    There's obviously not enough black & white footage of him for Janitor.

    Be honest. Where would Burley be without Futch's praise and rating of him?

    It's way too low. Doesn't being regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter from 1969-1974 and one of the divisions most dominant champs mean anything?
