    Atlas put out a solid list, but honestly, whenever Atlas starts talking I roll my eyes look for my boots because the crap in going to get deep. No way “Sweet Pea” should be on the list. Floyd and PAC looked better at 135 than Sweet P ever did. Although I get that the Pretty Boy and PAC never really campaigned at 135 for very long.

    You Lads are correct. I don't know why Carlos Ortiz doesn't get his just due, but thankfully he does on these boards.

    Gans at number 9? I have no idea why anyone listens to anything this clown has to say. The man is a joke.

    Because despite not being good at making nerdy forum lists and always making a spectacle of himself he actually knows boxing.

    No, he doesn't. Otherwise Gans is not at 9.

    You don’t think Teddy Atlas knows boxing? As in the sport and how it’s done? I’m not a fan but I wouldn’t take a stance like that.
