I wonder how close Ricardo Lopez came to making the list (for 1990-1999)?

Happy to see Carlos Ortiz getting some recognition aswell.

yea replace barrera with calzaghe and its solid, calzaghe is one of the most overrated boxers ever....

but theres no objective standard in boxing, so its always just biased as to who your favorite was basically

im pretty sure my 90-99 list would be identical

Pareng Kadyo, Flash Elorde is at number 10 in the 60's decade.

Holyfield had one of the greatest runs in the late 90's. That was something special.

Come on...he fought the best and won. Beat Duran, Hagler and Hearns. Floyd did not have an ATG opponent in his resume....besides...he's at number 2...what is there to complain about?
