    Arreola kicks Ortiz and Rios's asses at the same time. Or at least smothers them under blubber. :blood

    Don't be hating on my top 2 ATG, or I will have Victor Ortiz hunt you down and beat your ass like he did to Maidana :bbb

    Easily hell I even got benny leonard over ray.
    Duran in my book was so close to being the goat if he had won against hagler there would be a legitimate case for him being so.

    He might not even make it in top 10. IMO the Klitschkos had recently booted him out from that list.

    Pep didn´t stay at one weight. Pep has even more depth than Ali.

    Pep was a career featherweight, he fought bouts over 126 if that's what you mean, just like any champion does when they have that lee-way when it's not a chmapionship fight, or after they have been dethroned etc. Anyway, even if that is a point to concede, my point about Ali having a better resume is valid.

    Pep-

    Chalky Wright
    Sal Bartolo
    Jackie Wilson
    Manuel Ortiz (great but smaller)
    Sandy Saddler
    Paddy Demarco
    Harold Dade
    Ray Famechon
    Jackie Graves

    Ali-

    Sonny Liston
    Joe Frazier
    George Foreman
    Ernie Terrell
    Cleveland Williams (past prime)
    Ken Norton
    Floyd Patterson (not the best version)
    Jerry Quarry
    Earnie Shavers
    Henry Cooper
    Jimmy Young
    Ron Lyle
    Bob Foster (great but smaller, just like Manuel Ortiz for Pep)
    Jimmy Ellis

    Forgive me if i've missed out some names that i shouldn't have. You're dead right in saying that Pep had depth, i'm just as right in saying that Ali has an immaculate resume, and a better one than Pep does. I keep saying that i know all about Willie Pep and if we are going to discuss who the better fighter is then we can do that til the cows come home, and Pep might win, it's close, but when we're talking about greatness Ali edges him, and those big wins are the tie breaker, but clearly. You can't say that Pep fought in a good era and allow him to benefit from beating countless contenders and then deny Ali the same benefit, and on top of being the best of two fine eras, Ali has three wins over fighters who are constantly put in the top ten in his division's history.

    MArvin Hagler ducked no one and beat every man he fought. Nuff said.
