    Whitaker
    Ray Robinson

    That's it, think he beats Napoles, Chavez, Ike Williams, Benny Leonard, Pryor, DLH

    Duran is a 50-50 though

    Carter? Have you actually watched him fight? He'd get schooled.

    Pryor, chavez, mosley, pea, armstrong, robinson, napoles, duran, alexis.

    Although I don't see it on film, angott's win over pep puts him in good stead.

    Not sure what to make about floyd v pep, benitez or intocable.

    Not seen enough williams, gans, leonard, jack nor chocolate.
