I know im gonna hear it from you guys but IDGAF

 

Luis Rodriguez should be way, way up these lists.

 

I got him around 20. I had Benitez and Zarate just outside the list.

 

Fixed :good

 

This is my list based on resume, dominance, longevity and character. If I did it based on skill it would be somewhat different and would require some more thought, so it's not exactly what you are asking for but it's what I'll put up here nonetheless.

1. Roberto Duran
2. Kid Gavilan
3. Luis Manuel Rodriguez
4. Julio Cesar Chavez
5. Carlos Monzon
6. Vicente Saldivar
7. Eder Jofre
8. Jose Napoles
9. Carlos Ortiz
10. Nicolino Locche
11. Alexis Arguello
12. Miguel Canto
13. Ruben Olivares
14. Ernesto Marcel
15. Salvador Sanchez
16. Wilfredo Gomez
17. Victor Galindez
18. Carlos Zarate
19. Wilfred Benitez
20. Kid Chocolate
21. Antonio Cervantes
22. Esteban DeJesus
23. Felix Trinidad
24. Eusebio Pedroza
25. Panama Al Brown
26. Pascual Perez
27. Ismael Laguna
28. Cocoa Kid

I could keep going there's plenty more: Miguel Lora, Santos Laciar, Hilario Zapata, Baby Arizmendi, Ricardo Lopez, Rodolfo Gonzalez, Pedro Montanez, Jose Medel, Chucho Castillo, Lupe Pintor, Horacio Accavallo, Sugar Ramos, Kid Azteca, Antonio Gomez, Guty Espadas, Rafael Herrera, Fidel Bassa, Betulio Gonzalez, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Gilberto Roman, Raul Macias and I'm sure I've missed out plenty more.

 

What do you mean by character?

 

[FONT=&quot]One gets points for character if they do things like:
- Take risks (e.g. fight everyone in and around their weight division and not duck opponents, offer rematches, go out on their shields in an effort to win fights rather than hold on just to survive etc)
- Overcome adversity.
- Bear up well to adversity even if they don't win (and this is shown by the ability to take an ass whipping when it's your way coming, so durability counts here).[/FONT]

 

Ah, thanks for the clarification :good

 

No have them tied cause although Monzon beat better opposition and is a top 4 mw, i still dont think he was as good a fighter as Lopez. If Lopez was a MW hed beat him and if you want to talk about all of Monzons defenses well he has 14 to Lopez 23. Griffith was past it,Napoloes was way outsized, so dont overrated his resume to much. Dont get me wrong he still beat some other really good fighters like Valdes,Briscoe,Benvernuti,Watch a tape of both of them fight and can you honestly tell me he was better than Lopez? Id say no but i put them even cause i know that there are a lot of arguments as to why Monzon should be higher.
