Hearns is way too high so is Palomino

Hearns is way too high so is Palomino

Hearns woulda beaten Leonard if his stamina had been better. And Palomino was the best Mexican technician ever probably. Tommy also dethroned Cuevas easily, Pipino was one of the most feared punchers at the time.

Barrera
Lopez
Sanchez

If anybody could cure there weakness they would be better that means nothing

Which Lopez and Gonzales?? Barrera, no way. Palomino boxes his ears off, but he would be a big bite for him. Neither Marquez brother beats him either. Rafa comes close to being as good.

[IronDanHamza]

Barney Ross and Jimmy Mclarnin way too low.

Where's Joe Walcott?

Oscar definitely not a Top 10 WW.

Well the Lopez is no doubt Ricardo. Palomino wasn't nearly the classic boxer you imagine him as. His strengths were conditioning, decent power, and a rock solid chin. He often was outboxed in the early rounds and Wilfred Benitez totally outboxed him.

I wish Palomino and Cuevas fought when both were champions.

I wish Palomino and Cuevas fought when both were champions.

Especially since they both fought mostly in LA. The timing was perfect, yet there was very little buzz or demand for it here.

If Oscar is in the top 10 ATG WW list...Then the list is not IMPROVED at all.
