    I'm sure theres been top 10 lists, but let's just narrow it to the top 5. An easy order imo:

    1. Duran
    2. Monzon
    3. Chavez
    4. Jofre
    5. Ortiz/Arguello interchangeable.

    I can't rate Ortiz lower than 2, his resume is insane.

    His resume is brilliant and he was a complete fighter. I tend to think Napoles was a “better fighter” but when I factor it in I have Ortiz slightly ahead of him.

    I think Napoles was better than both Arguello and Ortiz, but he does rank behind both in greatness.

    I'd definitely have Napoles at 6.
