    This is the only good, realistic list I have seen so far. I wouldn't have Lewis over W Klitschko though. Wlad's career has been far longer with many more defenses of the vaunted heavyweight title than that of Lewis. Other than that great list.

    You can maybe rank Lewis above all of them, again it's debatable. I just feel as though the Mexican trio have beaten greater fighters and have the resume to prove it. Lewis can get a pass though since it's not like he can climb up weight classes, but he did beat every man in front of him. Also, the HW division is the premier division in boxing. But still, one must take into consideration who they beat and what they did in their prime and after.

    Lennox Lewis top 3 wins.

    Mike Tyson(faded but a good name and money fight on his resume)
    Evander Holyfield 2(faded but good passing of the torch)
    Vitali Klitschko(absolute prime and great win)

    Erik Morales top 3 wins

    Marco Antonio Barrera 1(absolute prime and in the middle of greatness)
    Manny Pacquaio 1(absolute prime and in the middle of greatness)
    Daniel Zaragosa(faded, but a good passing of the torch)


    Juan Manuel Marquez top 3 wins

    Manny Pacquaio 3rd and 4th fights(I'll just go with the two wins we do know. Pac was in his prime but fading just a little bit in the 3rd fight. Same goes for the 4th fight)

    Marco Antonio Barrera(faded but still a world class fighter. Very close and entertaining fight)

    Marco Antonio Barrera's top 3 wins

    Nasem Hamed(a lot of factors come into this fight regarding if Hamed was slightly passed it or not. What we do know is that Hamed was undefeated, the number 1 FW champion of the world, and was comfortably in the p4p rankings. Barrera absolutely schooled him, masterclass performance)

    Erik Morales 2 and 3(Morales was undefeated and in his absolute prime. It's weird because I felt as though MAB won the first first, while EM comfortable won the second. Either way, they both split wins in this stage of their career while Barrera won the rubber match. Greats fights and great trilogy)

    No matter how you look at it, either way these 4 men are all ATG's. Rating their top 3 wins isn't the deciding factor of determining greatness, but it helps us get a glimpse of how good they are and who they beat.

    I swear Nonito Donaire is the most underrated fighter of all time.

    Sal Sanchez is greater and underrated as well. He was unbeatable at the end. Sanchez - Arguello is the fight I want to see someday.

    Did you just think of random fighters after selecting Leonard as #1? What a s h i t list.

    You apparently haven't watched or read much about Manos de Piedra. Please do so.

    :nod I had a tough time leaving Sal out. He got a shoutout in my honorable mention though.
