Good list, even though I don't agree with Duran in the top 10 over guys such as Barney Ross and Carmen Basillio even though he beat #2 on the list, which makes a hell of a case/
i know a lot here rate duran's win over leonard as the best win ever...in that case, duran should be at the top 10 EASILY...he did beat the #2 guy on the list... as for me, im not that high on duran as a welterweight because leonard set the record straight in the rematch. He outskilled duran into submission still, duran would make it into the top 20 easily
Of the modern era, rough draft: Ray Robinson Ray Leonard Luis Rodriguez Jose Napoles Kid Gavilan Tommy Hearns Emile Griffith Carmen Basilio Charley Burley Henry Armstrong
Its too deep a divison, you can always make a top ten, but it will never be right because this or that fighter was left off. Ross, Gavilan, and others would make a top ten list, but than others top ten fighters would need to be booted off.
I would go for something like 1. Ray Robinson 2. Ray Leonard 3. Kid Gavilan 4. Jose Napoles 5. Mickey Walker 6. Emile Griffith 7. Luis Manuel Rodriguez 8. Joe Walcott 9. Charley Burley 10. Carmen Basilio Armstrong and Hearns just off the top 10
Ray Robinson Jose Napoles Pipino Cuevas Henry Armstrong Roberto Duran Barney Ross Jimmy Mclarnin Carmen Basilio Ray Leonard Kid Gavilan
I limited this only to fighters I've seen, hence Joe Walcott is left out. 1. Robinson 2. Walker 3. Leonard 4. Hearns 5. Gavilan 6. Napoles 7. Griffith 8. Rodriguez 9. Basilio 10. Armstrong Then probably... 11. Ross 12. Whitaker 13. Holman Williams
