    I forgot to mention Galaxy, Jeffries and Sullivan (which should bei at least higher than Frazier and Saldivar).

    There are a lot of good fighters in the 50 and under club. You could easily fill a high quality top 20. Here are my ten.

    10. Khaosai Galaxy
    9. Wilfredo Gomez
    8. Oscar De La Hoya
    7. Salvador Sanchez
    6. Felix Trinidad
    5. Pernell Whitaker
    4. Rocky Marciano
    3. Lennox Lewis
    2. Floyd Mayweather
    1. Ray Leonard

    Couple of picks for Khaosai Galaxy - interesting, as I hadn’t considered him. There are a few other fighters around the really light weights who deserve mention if we’re talking about him, but not sure any of them are top 10, including Galaxy himself. Jung Koo Chang for one.

    Because he doesn't know him/ his career is not over 80 years ago...

    Maybe can be also named Shane Mosley and Steve Collins (not sure what their exact number of bouts is).

    Out of curiosity can be also listed boxer which had 0 professional fights? These are in it technical undefeated.
    Then would be Stevenson and Savon good candidates.
    Otherwise I would mention Istvan Kovac and Mahmmet Abulajew.

    I would also mention Sam Hill, who is at least one of the best with around 20 fights (along with Ibeabuchi, Notice and Perugino).

    That proves it...:deal::buenrollo:

    I forgot to name Acelino Freitas, Gennady Golovkin, Guillermo, Rigondeaux and Brian Mitchel. Also Timmothy Bradley, Takafumi Uchiyama and I am not certain if Juan Manuel Marquez had 50.

    Good list. I’d maybe swap Gomez and Saldivar and once you get down to 9/10 you can probably debate some others but on the whole this is a very solid rating.
