    PBF is way overrated. PBF resume is not that impressive and don't overrate the ABC titles.

    Hattons Reign at Light Wleter is better than tszyu's ( I think anyway)

    Tszyu got Kod twice at Light Welter. his best win is Judah, who I think Hatton would beat up on.

    Hatton Kod tszyu, Castillio, Urango (looks better by the day), Mallinagi and a host of other top 10ers..he also won a title @ a higher weight which tszyu didnt and only got Kod by a generations greatest.

    Nice list. Lewis has to crack the top ten though....Best HW we've had since Tyson's prime.

    I think you have to judge what people do in their prime Years....Lewis woul dbe dead cert top 5 if he didnt get KOd by two average fighters in his prime years.

    Jones was so dominant for 10 years, Mayweathe the same. To dominate at the TOP level for so long is an amazing accomplishment.

    Hopkins is there for the longevity, I also think Hopkins may have been comparable if he had a top promoter, remember B Hop was an outcast of Boxing, he was suppposed to get blowmn away from TITO, what a proud champion.


    Barrera is for me one of the most complete fighters we have seen, a counter puncher brawler boxer, did it all.

    13, is being generous as it is, his only top class win was vs Hopkins, im only putting him in for consistancy. There is no way you could rank him above the rest
