    Steve Frank. 7 seconds.

    Deal with it.





    And right on, Vic.

    Rosendo Alvarez was not as good as German Torres. He was not greater than Zapata either.

    Ratanapol Sor Vorapin was a washed up lower end Thai with a glass chin.

    Quality win over Saman. But Saman wasn't amazing. Still not mind blowing. Not as good as beating the young (in boxing bouts) Sot Chitalada is it?

    Straw weight is ****. Again.

    Yeah Lopez unified against a bunch of sub-par light fly weights to be 'greatest straw'. Yes he was incredibly consistent, but not against particularly impressive oppo'.

    As I always say; Love Lopez, undeniably great. But there are greater, despite his glittering numbers and flawless stats (and genius level of ability of course, not on the inside though)

    Again; it ain't Lopez. It's everyone else who's greater than him.

    They all beat better fighters, is the main thing. Personally, I'd have Pea above Saddler and about on even footing with Canzoneri and Burley. Don't know what the hell to make of Holman, but I guess same goes for him. I don't have a big problem with him being just behind each of them though.

    Ross is rightfully above. 20 or just outside seems the right spot for Whitaker.

    Yes I have Ross above Pea. And yes I have Pea around 19-22.

    I have Whitaker and Ross in the top 20. Hopkins top 30. Ray Leonard in the top 10

    Pep and Fitzimmons out of the top 10. About as radical as I can get :lol:

    Hopkins top 30? Maybe in an exclusively post war list cutting off anyone who started their career before it.

    I like Hopkins top 30. I don't agree with it, but I like it.

    Similar to what Flea said about Floyd not making the top 100. I think it's totally wrong, but I'm cool with it. :hey
