    ....beat Roberto Duran on the inside?

    Or consistently push Tyson backward?

    Outbox Arguello over 15 rounds?

    How about the lightest fighter to outbox Hearns over 12?

    Whom is the lightest fighter you would favor to knock out a prime Shane Mosley?

    Add your own. :thumbsup

    So if Ramirez would've been good enough 2 stop Arguello b4 d 15th rd ended he doesn't count but if Mancini couldn't do it because he was stopped then he doesn't count either ? a man mustn't b 2 good 4 his opponents or his wins r dismissed as mere stoppages . This is how it's here on ESB .
    What about d option of Ramirez flooring Arguello 3 times overall and landing d more telling punches without going down himself and still miracleously failing 2 stop him ? would that have been considered a good enough win ? but i believe Ramirez was good enough 2 stop Arguello b4 15 r over .

    i guess i take Holyfield 2bd lightest 2 constantly push tyson backwards .

    u took a good unoriginal blueprint and filled it with condense **** .

    i tried 2c d order in which u tried 2 reply , then i guessed u referred 2 only a part of d questions . after some time it seemed 2 me that u indeed replied 2 all of d questions in d order in which they were asked .
    Then i saw Seamus' reply and it reinforces my 1st and last (but not intermediate) guess . not a good indication 4u .

    Dude, it's a hypothetical thread. Get over it. Of course I don't favor any of these guys over the larger men but I do believe that they meet the criteria of each respective question. Obviously, the TS doesn't want obvious answers like Corrales, Marciano, Leonard,etc., etc. Think outside of the box damn :patsch...

    So you'd genuinely give Ricardo Lopez a better than 50\50 against Arguello....straight up?.

    He'd be lucky not to get killed stone dead.Same with a Bantam weighing Olivares against hands of stonehands.

    While I realize that the profundity of my words throw some for a loop, maybe we should all focus more on actually contributing to the thread. What a concept.

    Strange thread.

    Lightest guy to outbox Hearns -- are we talking welter Cobra or light heavy Hit Man? Lightweight Stone Hands on the inside or middle? Etc, etc.
