    any opinions on this one?

    Here's mine, just kinda off the top of my head:

    1 - Roberto Duran
    2 - Eder Jofre
    3 - Jimmy Wilde
    4 - Pancho Villa
    5 - Julio Cesar Chavez
    6 - Bob Fitzsimmons
    7 - Alexis Arguello
    8 - Wilfredo Gomes
    9 - Ricardo Lopez
    10 - Georges Carpentier/Khaosai Galaxy/Fighting Harada

    A bit patchy here lads (really ran out of gas near the end).

    I'm sure most of you have better picks.

    Lets have them.

    Benvenuti has also a case, but I personally would put him only in a Top 20-list.

    Check out Bogash, he has also a case. Beat the likes of McTigue, Loughran, Tiger Flowers, Walker, Malone, Scozza, Clark, Panama Joe Gans, etc., excellent resume, nice record and also head-to-head (what we´ve heard and read) pretty good! :good

    Langford, Duran, Fitszimmons, Jofre and Monzon are shoe-ins for the top 10.
