    I don't even know what these giberish abbrevations shall mean, seems to be slang...

    But once I know, you act childish and can't understand many things...

    Though others here might have just raising when Saldivar was champion, what is the case to rank him high. I actually have him in the top 20 likely (not like you discredit Hamed, who achied 4 - 5 times as much), but just not in the top 10.

    But you also rank Vitaly Klitschko at place 29 and Byrd around 20...just as you ranked Ruben Olivares on place 2 in Flyweight (not Bantamweight!!)...which just says more about the poster than anything else.

    You are probably the least guy who should moan about other rankings/ list or different oppinions of users here (as many have a lot more forgotten than you got to know)...

    Though this is a lot easier for you than bringing arguments to the subject...You didn't disprove any of my claims here yet.
    I named you 10 world class opponents at least of Hamed, you didn't even one for Saldivar, but I doubt you can find 10 victims of him which were better than these of Hamed (and fair won, not by support of the judges), but you shouldn't mention Laguna (for two reasons)...

    Saldivar Fought
    Shibata no4 .1970 Saldivar lost his title
    Famechon no2 .1970
    Legra no1.1969
    Winstone no4. 1967 x2
    Seki no3.1966
    Seki no3 .1967
    Robertson no6.1966
    Winstone no6 .1965
    Ismael Laguna no1.1964 .I hadn't mentioned him but thanks for reminding me ,he was the number 1 contender when Saldivar beat him!
    Lost to Eder Jofre no4.in1973

    11 Ring ranked top ten opponents only one of whom,[Robertson] never won a world title.I know you will deny this as you always do and accuse the rankings of being biased.
    The ratings are easily verified by anyone interested in the truth,which of course you are not!
    You're just a clown whose act wasn't very funny when you first performed it and now is just boring unintelligible nonsense.
    You haven't been back 5 minutes and everyone is ripping into your ridiculous assertions already!
    Waste of space.

    Saldivar didn't do anything; Laguna dominated him and was not even close to his peak, which was years latet in Lightweight.
    So he only won against 6 ranked boxers, where neither was as good as Tom Johnson, Wilfredo Vasquez or Manuel Medina. Only 1 - 2 were as good or better than Robinson, Soto or Ingle.
    These Famechon, who got a big gift against faded flyweight Harada and Legra, who had his best time in upper weight-classes.
    That might be barely enough for top 20, but not top 10 in my view.


    For these which rate Erik Morales higher than Naseem Hamed in Featherweight; he had not even less than a quarter of achievement in this division, but also lost his first (full) title fight against average champion Cuty Espadas Jr. That guy wouldn't have made 10 rounds vs. the "Prince".
    When somebodies claim Castill won the first bout vs. Mayweather, then occurs this even the more to Espadas Jr. vs. Morales I, which was a big robbery.

    Jup, the two time WBA champion, who dominated Marquez. He got robbed against Gainer, due to low blows, which the referee didn't notice (and caused eventually the "knockout"). He was next to Hamed, the best in Featherweight until 2000.

    Good to see Kid Chocolate in there. He seemed to have a tremendous impact on the sport and boxers that came along after.

    This was your post and your question.
    "I named you 10 world class opponents at least of Hamed, you didn't even one for Saldivar, but I doubt you can find 10 victims of him which were better than these of Hamed"

    I've given the names of those that Saldivar fought in title fights proving everyone was top ten Ring ranked. As usual you can't admit that ,you just did your usual and went of on another unintelligible tirade of irrelevant gibberish.You have mental health problems and posting here seems to exacerbate them.The danger is that engaging with you on a regular basis may adversely affect the mental health of those that have happily continued during your enforced absence not only not missing you in the slightest, but breathing a sincere sigh of relief when stumps were finally pulled on your ludicrous tenure as the number one butt of jokes on the forum.What you get out of being scorned and laughed at on a daily basis is simply mystifying,and just proves the old adage ,"it takes all sorts",is as true today as it has ever been.
