Suprised Johnny Dundee hasn't had a mention yet

Dundee's best work was a 135, in my opinion. That said, here's my top 10 list, though not set in stone.

1. Pep
2. Arguello
3. Attell
4. McGovern
5. Saddler
6. Chocolate
7. Saldivar
8. Sanchez
9. Dixon
10. Griffo

These really isn't a well thought out list, mostly just a quick opinion from glancing at resume's.

[IronDanHamza]

Mines pretty much similar to everyone elses but heres mine;

1.Willie Pep
2.Henry Armstrong
3.Sandy Saddler
4.Vicente Saldivar
5.Abe Attell
6.Salvador Sanchez
7.Kid Chocolate
8.George Dixon
9.Eusiebio Pedroza
10.Alexis Arguello

Alot of people didn't make the cut, quite a deep division.

Louis Kaplan, Johnny Dundee, Owen Moran, Baby Arizmendi, Johnny Kilbane, Azumah Nelson.

The list goes on and on and on.

Wouldnt argue with you there but it depends whether you only want to rate a fighter under one weight class I guess. Bit like Greb, lot of respected historians have him at one or two at middle and then barely rate him top ten (if that) light heavy and then rate several fighters above him such as say Loughran and Gibbons who I would say he proved he was superior to?

Any chance you watched Pacquiao-Barrera I?

Yeah Pacquiao is a bad style matchup for Barrera but I think Barrera is the better fighter

[McGoorty]

Based on how good they were

1. Barrera
2. Sanchez
3. Morales
4. Arguello
5. Pacquiao
6. Nelson
7. Marquez
8. Fenech



Big drop off



9. Norwood
10. Gomez(not his natural weight class)

Nice to see fenech there, he never lost at that weight. My only problem with your list is there's no Attell, Armstrong, Pep, Dixon, Kid Chocolate, Saddler, Pedroza, Famechon and many more. I always thought boxing was older than the seventies, isn't it ??????????

[McGoorty]

I'm sorry, but Armstrong does not belong on this list, nor any other but WW and P4P.

Only problem with that statement is that Henry Armstrong Was a featherweight Champeen and a natural Featherweight. The fact that Hank was a WW champ does not alter the fact that he was never more than just over the Featherweight limit. Anybody can rank him as a FW, LW or WW, Remember, Henry punched ABOVE his weight......................................... ,,,.................................... Go Homicide Hank.

Dundee, yep, a great fighter, just read a newspaper article on him from 1914, he was magnificent.

I don't rank guys who there isn't enough footage of.
