      Amongst each other or in context with all others? Also, is Erik Morales still active? If so, I'm reluctant to rank active fighters historically, particularly in the "History" forum.

        Winky Wright
        Oscar de la Hoya
        Mike Tyson
        Erik Morales
        James Toney
        Kostya Tszyu
        Shane Mosley

        First off, not ranking Mosley, he is a convicted drugs cheat. Same goes for Toney. Now for the rest:

        Erik Morales
        Oscar de la Hoya
        Winky Wright
        Kostya Tszyu
        Mike Tyson

        Not considering head to heads, just resumes, accomplishments etc.

          Each other.

          Just rank him on his achievements so far.

                Based solely on memory (w/o checking Boxrec or other research):
                1. Tyson
                2. Tszyu
                3. De la Hoya
                4. Morales
                5. Toney
                6. Wright
                7. Mosley

                  I'm going off of what their peaks were, if that's what you're asking.

                  1. DLH (140 and lower)
                  2. Tyson
                  3. Morales
                  4. Mosley (I think Shane beats Tszyu at 140)
                  5. Toney (vulnerable to boxers)
                  6. Tszyu
                  7. Winky (as good as Winky was, he never dealt with volume punchers very well)
