    How anybody can even consider ranking Calderon above any of the other fighters listed is beyond me......I would LOVE to know the particular performances and fighters he has beaten that gets him ranked so high.......he is a fantastic technical boxer but so overrated.

    That win alone gets him ranked that highly!!? Cazares is nothing special and they still weighed in at the same weight.

    Where would you place Zsolt Erdei in this list then? Unbeaten champ who moved up and gave up 17lbs to beat Fragomeni?

    Due to the level of competition, Calderon will not get past Cotto. Calderon may have fought 2-3 decent ones compared to Cotto's last 10.

    beating cazares and being the 2nd best straweight of all-time is better than what cotto has accomplished.

    Cotto is never top 20 at 140 and may not even be top 40 at welterweight.
    He is not even top 15 welterweight in the last 20 years

    Oh man Rafael Marquez vs Hamed would have been a great fight!


    I havent seen enough to rate them all in order, but common Hamed went undefeated for a long time and used to toy with the other champions at the lower weights. He was clearly, clearly better than Hatton and Cotto legacy wise.

    I'm crying tears of laughter at all these people ranking Hamed so low.

    Calderon hasn't even won a world title.

    Plus he has looked for the easy way out on the technical decision rule a few times.
