    Every one of these lists are EXTREMELY close, alot of the fighter are interchangable.

    P4P I rank them:

    1.Jackson
    2.Hearns
    3.Shavers
    4.Tyson
    5.Hamed

    At their fastest weight I rank them the same as you listed them

    1.Camacho
    2.Meldrick taylor
    3.Joan guzman
    4.Pacquiao
    5.Malignaggi

    All of these fighters were very technical in their respected styles, which makes them hard to rank. I'll rank them according to how good they are at fighting with their specific style.

    1.Ricardo Lopez (The most technically perfect fighter ever)
    2.Roberto Duran (Duran was technically brilliant for his style)
    3.Bernard Hopkins
    4.floyd mayweather jr
    5.Juan Manuel Marquez

    Don't get me wrong, Marquez is a brilliant technical fighter, but i feel his defence let's him down when compared to other counterpunchers (I'm a big JMM fan).

    Damn man, you couldn't have made it much harder for me.

    i have to agree with this pretty much exactly. The only changes I might make were switching hearns and shavers, and switching hopkins and mayweather but even that's debatable. I hate to admit it but camacho was faster than taylor overall (at least before rosario ruined him)
