    Mosley is top 15 for me, not top 10, his resume is just far too thin, and I'm not positive, with all the great Lightweights, that he ranks much higher than top 10 just in a head to head list.

    Also, Matt, he was a bit better at WW, but he doesn't rank higher in a head to head sense at WW simply because he'd be facing bigger, better comp. If you rate him top 5 head to head at LW, at WW do you rank him above Robinson, Leonard, Hearns, Napoles, Griffith, etc? Or even someone like Trinidad?

    With guys like Duran, Whitaker, Gans, Leonard, Ortiz, Armstrong, Williams, Jack, Ross, Canzoneri, Chavez, Buchanan, Arguello, etc etc, I just can't quite find a place in my top 10.

    It would be a great idea to tackle each criterion inidvually and come up with top 10s in these 7-8 categories. Might have a go at a few later on....

    Against better comp than Shane did in 32. And as far as head to head goes, he looked his best there, against Rosario. As you can see though, Chavez was just a latter mentioned name, because of that very fact. Not top 10 in my book either.
