    Active fighters are tough to rate...anyway...He is top 15 in my opinion, something like that, he deserves a high place in history.......

    I've got him inside the top 30. Who knows where he'll end up though, he's the only fighter to come along in my lifetime that has a reasonable chance to gain top 10 status.

    I take it you weren't born when SSL and Duran were around, because certainly the later makes most peoples top 10 list.

    Top 30 seems fair. 25-20 is not unfair.

    Inside that it's a tough call lest we start forgetting the truly exceptional.

    Top 15 is really pushing it.

    Five thousand, eight hundred and sixty three.

    If he beats Mosley he'll leapfrog Eusebio Pedroza and Fatty Langtry, but he's not cracking the top 5,860 unless he beats Mayweather or Martinez.

    The possibility of a Martinez fight is making everyone cautious I think. If this guy ends up mw champion some very alarming claims are going to be made. And not just by that guy who you know who I mean when I say.
