    I like this list better than DINAMITA's....Felix Trinidad is about 25 spots higher on this list. You win on that alone :good

    If that is your sole basis, then I'm a-ok with that amigo. This list has Trinidad above Rodriguez, Perez, Holman Williams, McCallum. I mean, I'm a Trinidad fan, but there is just no justification for that IMO.

    Lewis to low at 27??? I think thats way to high already.

    I think Hoya is fine where he is in that list..only 1 spot higher than Ive got him in mine..Ive heard arguements for him being a little higher but also some for him being a little lower aswell. I dont think putting him in the 65-80 range is all that unreasonable.

    Mayweather at 39 is the absolute highest he would be justified IMO..no way should he go any higher than that..In fact he could go down a few spots if anything.

    I think Floyd should go higher, either that or Jones should go lower.

    I can live with your remarks regarding Lewis however.

    DLH is a strange case. Had he been given the nod against Trinidad and Mosley II which he clearly deserved, where would he (and they for that matter) rank?

    In addition I guess, with him being a money fighter for pretty much half of his career, where do you think his ability could have taken him?

    I consider those wins for De La Hoya...I make my own mind up on decisions like that and that adds to the reasons why I rank him over both Tito and Mosley. I dont think you should just accept the judges decisions in situations like that..in the end it is your list.

    You reckon Jones should not be Mayweather? May I ask why, I dont think he should personally. Or are you just saying they should be closer together?
    I think RJJ is about 10 spots to high where he is on asero's list though, but thats just my opinion.
    I have him in the low 30's from memory.

    jones is the undisputed p4p king for 1990s and he did show dominance. jones, bhop, holyfield and lewis should be in the same boat.. as for PBF, he is definitely top 3-4 at 130 and a lot of alphabeth title in higher divisions. if he losses just one fight, i put him 62-67.

    p4p list is different from ATG list..

    i think it is easier to make a p4p list than an ATG list..
    Because in a p4p list you just look at the primest prime of a fighter. his best 2 years may do the trick. longetivity and timeliness has nothing to do with an all-time p4p list

    problem with p4p list is that it penalizes the heavyweights..
