    I doubt it Mac. Most will take his overall career into consideration but won't separate this from his undeniable greatness at 135.:good

    Leonard, Gans, Duran, and maybe Armstrong or Canzoneri. As good as Duran was, his resume is shallow compared to a number of lightweights, hence him being 3rd.
