    No Mike McCallum jumps right out as a WTF. He’s probably better than half of that list - at least. Granted, Wilfredo Gomez, and Wilfred Benitez did work in the 70s, I’d still have them over quite a lot of that list. Ricardo Lopez, Chocolatito too for sure. That’s five admissions I’d try to make room for. I can lose Klitshcko, Tyson, Foreman, Canelo right off the top.

    Not a bad list. I agree with ChrisJS that a few people like Mike McCallum and Ricardo Lopez belong on the list ahead of guys like 90s Foreman. But, no list is perfect.

    Canelo shouldn't be there period. Camacho's a tough one.

    You are right about Benitez and Gomez. It was a long ass stream with 4 guys who knew their ****. They mentioned that Benitez was youngest 3 weight champion of all time, probably the best counter puncher of his generation, but his best wins were in 70s. He beat Duran in 1982 but it wasnt enough for them. Criteria was pretty strict and all 4 of them said no.

    Old George Foreman definitely should not be on the list
