    Lopez was definitely in my consideration, but then I remembered Evander. It's easy to forget about all the good things Holyfield has done, especially in recent years.

    Give me your list Silencers, I'm honestly curious about yours. You're one of few very knowledgable guys who still come to NSB for discussions.

      Dude, it's a matter of opinion. It's not a concrete list.

      I'm trying to gather everybody else's perceptions as to who the top 15 are, tabulate the number of times each fighter was mentioned, and then build a definitive list.

        And I don't think I have Pernell or Toney too high.
        Are you taking it from 1993 on and excluding everything before it? Because if you are I would find it difficult to put Pea on that list, and believe me when I say he is in my top 5 all time faves and i have seen all but a couple of his fights. You are excluding the man's career at 135 right there, and that is when he was at his best.

            Sorry, I left Lewis out too, what a shame. I would replace Chavez for him.

              My criteria is that the fighter had to have at least had 1 fight in the last 15 years. If he was past his prime, like Pea was, you take into consideration all he's done before that, and decide for yourself if you wish to include him, or omit him.

                Well done X89 you made a list without putting Mosley in it
                he does not deserve to be mentioned on anybodys list.

                Trinidad should be rated above Oscar
                they beat the same fighters mostly and Tito did it first
                he also beat Oscar in the ring so thats the end of that argument.
