    Does McFarland get a mention? He didn't fight much at that weight but taking decisions against Gibbons and Britton twice in his final fights is pretty impressive.

    If they'd been all prime wins, particularly Pacquiao, Mayweather would be automatic top 10. Even though they aren't, he's still got to at least be a contender for top 15-20.

    Walcott is more a P4P force IMO. He basically got in as an honourable mention on mine.

    Ok, but it IS my opinion, I tried to find a place for Mayweather and Trinidad who in my Opinion deserves a mention. You may not agree with my order (obviously) but to say its " nonsense " obviously exposes your arrogance for not respecting someone else's opinion. But you have a nice day never the less....

    Do you not perceive a pattern here?
    Everyone who disagrees with you is dumb and "unlogisch".Which mean that just about all of this forum, except for Mendoza is at that level!lol

    You can never tell with him. Nonsense appears to be his aspiration.

    Do you recall his pages of never ending spurious arguments claiming that Floyd Patterson versus Pete Rademacher garnered same interest as McGregor versus Mayweather?! Now that was prime Rasta Borat!

    " Unlogic" is not a word genius, (at least not in the way your attempting to use it) but illogic is. So before you start throwing around "dumb" and the rest of the silliness your writing please pick up a dictionary. Because it's very DUMB of you to write a word that doesn't fit what your trying to say. In other words, before u try to get the splinter out of my eye, get the log out yours first you idiot.

    So the foriegn language excuse? At least that's Original. Yet everything else you wrote was ok . which now makes you a coward and a idiot. Learn one lesson in life , don't go at people you don't know with foolishness , and threats that your ass can't cash. A verbal argument with you. Really? I got pass your 2nd grade education yrs ago. A knife to a gun fight? Really? Not when you don't know the difference between unlogical and illogical . Stop trying to write like your so intelligent but clearly by what you write, and how you write it clearly says your not. So can we get back to discussing the sport of boxing please.
