Rank these men in order please classic posters....

Whitaker
Jones
Gomez
Arguello

But Gomez for me is possibly better than Jones, i really don't know, it's subjective.

 

Arguello
Gomez
Whitaker
Jones

 

Everyone will have a different combination but if pushed, i'd go with ..

1. Pernell Whitaker
2. Roy Jones
3. Wilfredo Gomez
4. Alexis Arguello

Its too hard to seperate Jones from Pernell .. If Jones had operated in a more competitive division, i'd have him ahead of Pernell because i think his natural talent edges Pernell ..
Gomez and Arguello were 2 great fighters in they're own right but as boxers i cant compare them to Whitaker and Jones..
This is a very difficult question because im a huge fan of all 4 guys ..

 

1.whitaker
2.arguello
3.gomez
4.jones

 

Hmmm

 

With Wilfredo Gomez rated on the basis of his form in the 70's up to the Sanchez fight,,,strictly based on the form he showed during that period when he was at his peak, I'd say just in the order you have them there..exactly.

 

At their best:
1. Gomez
2. Whitaker
3. Jones
4. Arguello

All great at these weights difficult to do. My list may change later.

 

this is real tough

1. Arguello
2. Whittaker
3. Gomez
4. Jones

all very very close

 

Very very difficult to answer, i fell arguello is a little behind the other 3. Jones looked like superman at 168 and if he had stayed there longer and continued to look as brilliant and beat the top names i'd have him at 1 but he didn't so i'll take him in 3. I rate whitaker slightly higher than gomez skills wise so i suppose i'd rank it

Whitaker
Gomez
Jones
Arguello

But i'm not really happy about that and if you ask me tomorrow i may have changed my mind

 

why is arguello being ranked so low his resume is better than Gomezs and i would say ability wise he is better

 

His resume is clearly better (though if you take gomez 122 resume against arguello just at 130 its close).

However i think gomez is a more complete fighter at his absolute prime, he could do almost everything, massive power, brilliant footwork, great skills etc. Its close as arguello ws great himself but i fell he could be outboxed by someone with good movement and boxing skills, i'd fell comfortbale with picking mayweather to beat him at 130 for instance. Gomez prime was very short but when he was there he was unbelivable.

Arguello ranks higher for his career achievments

 

good argument SB

i do think arguello is the best SFW and a top top LW the guy is amazing in my top 20 in fact all 4 of these guys are

 

Whitaker
Jones
Arguello
Gomez

 

Yeah GP, i think the question is who would be ranked higher p4p if they were all in the same era at a given point in their primes.

But it's so tight you could re-arrange them a lot.
