    Ok, now that Pernell and Marvelous have been firmly established, who else to you rank? A thread gets kind of pointless when its just the repition of the same 2 names.

    In addition to Luigi's list: Winky, Moorer, Kevin Kelly, Pacman all are at least notable.

    Marvelous Marvin for his career and the quality of opposition he faced.
    Pernell Whittaker was an all time great as well for the ages. All the skill and talent in the world but Marvin was more spectacular. Watch out for the outstanding contender Ajose Olusegun who is 20-0 and moving towards a world title shot at Light Welterweight. He is a terrific southpaw with bags of skills, speed, power and timing.

    Pac Man is great but I think Guzman will do him.
