    sorry misread ttile but i think they would all be in contention for P4P number 1 as long they didnt fight each other

    His resume is better than all of them. His limitations as a fighter were more glaring, though.

    brillaint little one liner Sweet Pea but i think Arguellos limits where shown but he could adapt and it was very hard to take advantage of these weaknesses though

    Why would it be hard? Roy was fighter of the 90s, Pernell wasnt. Roy wins hands down because he was fighter of the 90s and beyond.

    next is Arguello and who made an impact on the sport all the way from the early 70s until he met his match in Aaron Pryor. Actually, I believe Alexis has the greatest of achievements but Roy was unbeatn for so many years, he had that George Foreman/Thomas Hearns aura of invincibility.

    Next is Pernell and last is Gomez for being thrashed in the Sanchez fight.

    1st - Whitaker
    2nd - Gomez
    2nd = Jones
    4th - Arguello

    However, I think Jones is the only one who would definitely defeat anyone who ever fought at that weight (Gomez may very well have beaten anyone who ever fought at 122, but I cannot say he definitely would have with the same certainty that I personally apply to Jones at 168).

    Arguello
    Whitaker
    Gomez
    Jones

    Could possibly see Whitaker being switched with Arguello and Jones with Gomez.

    if you base it on factors like level of comp, number of title defenses and the overall ability that they have in cleaning up each of their respective div

    That's my choice as well. I might be a bit hard on Jones, but he's in stellar company.
