    Off the hook?

    You think you would be letting others off the hook while arguing that Mayweather was greater than Jones or Whitaker?

    Mayweather, it could argued isn't even top 5 over the last 20 years.

    Prime RJJ surley he was indistructable. Tyson in his short prime was unbeatable also.

    I rank Lewis over Holyfield and Tyson at HW.

    On an ATG list, Holyfield comes in higher than Lewis, with Tyson trailing. Short but dominant prime, but he lost to both and never defeated the great fighters of his era. Holyfield comes in over Lewis because he is IMO inarguably the greatest CW ever. Lewis is underrated and I don't doubt I may be underrating him as well.

    Quite a list. Only problems I have ranking Chavez is that a decent portion of his work would be cut out, including his entire 130 run, and his best performance against Rosario in 1987. I'd take Holyfield over him when only taking into account post-88. If you're taking everything into account though, I'd agree.

    I am surprised to not see Terry Norris. However, impressive list.

    Yeah good call, I missed him and Winky Wright. Norris is #3 at LMW for me, while Wright is #4.

    Made this on the spot, just basically writing down every name that came to mind. Damn, missed Tyson too, actually.

    How did Roy's, JCC's, Whitaker's, and Tito's run end? ... very brutally !!

    Roy is seeking redemption - he couldn't go out w/ 3 straight L's (2 by KO) to end his career.
