    its hard to put lazlo papp in despite his greatness because of his short career as a proffesional.

    I'd at least have Papp in there at around the #7 spot. As a matter of fact, I'd have him higher. I don't understand your criticism, even if his career was a short one. The level of performance he showed and the fighters he beat (which was better than most of the fighters you have placed ahead of him) should assure him a high spot on the list.

    I agree with Pea, Papp at least deserves to be ahead of a guy like Calzaghe who I fell should be lower.

    Good list.

    Sure I read Jose Torres rating Papp the best fighter he ever fought (they met as amatuers at the Olympics). Certainly a great talent, but whether he's worthy of top 10 undefeated is debatable IMO.

    There was a wire that had him beaten by one Tom Hunter, although me and another person were unable to find a local source for that one.
