    a lot of this is splitting hairs, but heres my take....

    1.) Roberto Duran (greatest lightweight and #3 all-time p4p in my opinion)

    2.) Eder Jofre (unknown to many but he was said to be the total package)

    3.) Carlos Monzon (an absolute beast...one of the 3 greatest middles ever)

    4.) Julio Cesar Chavez (jc superstar was a force to be reckoned with)

    5.) Alexis Arguello (perfect puncher...beat the best of his day...3 div champ)

    6.) Ricardo Lopez (maybe the best littleman of all-time...undefeated total package)

    7.) Salvador Sanchez (died too young...but was an exceptional fighter)

    8.) Erik Morales (one of the greatest of our era...one of my favorites...i need more time to evaluate his greatness)

    9.) Wilfredo Gomez (best 122 pounder...devastating puncher)

    10.) Carlos Ortiz (great great lightweight...wins over Laguna, Elorde, Ramos)

He padded his record on bums just like chavez did, except chavez had a longer run as a top 10 fighter. He was great from 84-98 i believe. Monzon is the best in my opinion.
        Many forget that Duran came from the LW division, cleaning the divison over....and when he came to the USA and fought SRL he was on the tail end of his prime....he was 29 almost 30 years old, after cleaning the LW for 7 years....7 years....dude..is taht overated then you have a problem...all boxers are overated then

          Duran was fighting in the USA for awhile before Leonard in Canada and New Orleans.

            Agreed, but he was not know but only to the heavy boxing fans.....he fought maybe 10 times before in the USA not counting PR....

                    Ain;t no point in trying to teach you guys boxing history....Jesus...you are thick dude....Watch Duran at this prime, let say Kobayashi fight and then we talk...or maybe the Duran v. De Jesus II, how a master boxer he was....the truth is simple, Duran would beat JCC bad...
