    Santos is so overrated. Besides margarito (hands of stone literally) he hasn't proved anything.

    FYI...I do like Oscar...yes he got robbed at 147 against Tito...but that was at 147......147

    Tito was a better 154 pounder...

    Leaving out Benvenuti and jackson is a crime!!!

    Norris should be higher and a couple of people are on that list because of what they acheived at different weights.

    Not bad though, top 4 are solid.

    Even if he was robbed it was a 147.

    Tito beat Reid for the WBA belt in his first fight at 154, then fought mando Mamidou Thiam, this kid looked like a superMW. Then he beat a prime undefeated Vargas...

    I think I hold him higher then Oscar at 154.

    That's a pretty good list man. I can never decide between Hearns and McCallum. :thumbsup

    Like this much more, but I'd have Hearns over Mike and I can't see why Vargas makes the list. Personally I'll take Mazzinghi in there.

    I'll go:-

    1) Hearns
    2) McCallum
    3) Norris
    4) Winky
    5) Jackson
    6) Benvenuti
    7) Benitez
    8) Trinidad
    9) Vasquez
    10) Mazzinghi

    I am pretty sure Jackson nearly killed Norris! So how do you have Norris over Jackson?

    In that case you can't have Wright over Vargas!?!?!

    Don't forget Norris also beat Mugabi, SRL, Don Curry, Meldrick Taylor, Carl Daniels etc...
