What about Salvador Sanchez?
he was nearly undeaftable and when he died many of the guys he beat became world champions.
He is the best featherweight in the history of its division IMO.
It's funny that a lot of ppl here say DLH and don’t mention Trinidad, when DLH made a career fighting Tito's leftovers...
1. Ali
2. SRL
3. Duran
4. Hearns
5. Hagler
6. Morales
7. Benitez
8. Gomez
9. Trinidad
10. Barrera
Hagler > Hearns
No Robinson???
im probably going off topic a little here but jermaine taylor is definately fighting the best comp as of now.. i respect him for that.. hes taking the risks needed to be a great and popular fighter

Prime Quartey beats Prime Trinidad :cool:
I think Arguello's name should be tossed into the list. He fought past, present and future champs:
Marcel (lost to Marcel in his first world title try, then failed to avenge the loss as Marcel retired after the fight)
Ray Mancini
Billy Costello
Jim Watt
Claude Noel
Aaron Pryor (lost twice to The Hawk)
Bobby Chacon
Rafael (Bazooka) Limon
Alfredo Escalera (won twice over Escalera; Escalera held the WBC SuperFeather title registering some ten title defenses before Arguello took it from him)
Royal Kobayashi
Ruben Olivarez
Boza Edwards
Jose Luis Ramirez
Navarette
that's on top of such tough contenders as:
Ruben Castillo (undefeated in over 40 fights when he faced El Flaco)
Roberto Elizondo
James Busceme
Andrew Ganigan (trhe original "Hawaiian Punch")
Arturo Leon
Rigoberto Riasco
Three of those champs' names (Pryor, Chacon and Olivarez) are in the Hall.

that's a pretty good point. Trinidad's opposition is top notch as well.
Oscar De La Hoya fought absolutely EVERYONE except Wright and Forrest. He fights the best out there across multiple divisions. I don't think anyone has faced tougher competition than De La Hoya.
IMO.....DLH fought everybody,Holyfield had an impressive resume,Trinidad too and I am sure there are many from the olden days but in my time of watching boxing these guys fought alot of big fights.
that is up for interpretation
tyson is surely the most exciting fighter ever and in most people's eyes saved boxing when it had hit the shits
but come on to be one of the greatest p4p
you beat the best of your era ( tyson did not as holyfield and lewis beat him )
you overcome adversity ( tyson although showing a great chin and heart was eventually stopped by holyfield and in the rematch resorted to biting holyfileds ear off and then in what many regarded as tyson make or break comeback fight he was clinically destroyed by lewis ( though taking some of the biggest bombs time after time from arguably the most destructive right hand in history before falling and this blew me away i regarded tysons chin up to that point as rubbish when it clearly was'nt)these were in my opinion tysons make or breaks ( to prove his worth as a p4p great) and he failed
to me the 90s was lewis's era and 80s tyson's. well 90s split between lennox and holyfield. u 1 of the only 1s to say tyson had heart. now i know u know your boxing.
Holyfield:
James Toney
Lennox Lewis
Mike Tyson
Michael Moorer
Riddick Bowe
Ray Mercer
Bobby Czyz
Larry Holmes
George Foreman
Fought probably I'd say the best opposition of any heavyweight of all time perhaps.
He has a good resume, but it does not compare to ALi's.
Ali is an obvious choice.
He was expected to be destroyed by Liston and Foreman, but stopped both of them.
He fought Patterson, Shavers, Fraiser, Norton.
But Robinson must have fought everyone he possibly could have.
Holyfield:
