The Ring, May 1994 issue - GOAT Division by Division

[El Chicano]

wtf??? carlos ortiz easily is one of the best 135 pounds of all time.

He was an honorable mention if that's any consolation. So was Pernell Whitaker at 135lbs.

[TheGreatA]

Yeah Id say Floyd top 5 at either 135 or 130.

Floyd is not close to being top 5 or even top 10 at 135.

He is definitely top 5 at 130 though.

[J Mac]

how about mosley @ lightweight???

[El Chicano]

Does Kostya Tszyu make it into 140??

Calzaghe needs to be thrown in at SMW, RJJ at LHW, Hopkins at MW. I saw a couple of flaws on that list, I dont see Sugar Ray Leonard being an ATG SMW.
Also I dont think you can rank anyone over Sugar Ray Robinson at WW, and Pernell Whitaker should be on there somewhere if JCC is.

well, the list WAS made in 1994, which would explain why some fighters are missing.

Its pretty interesting that Chong Pal Park is rated the best ever at 168lbs, but then again, its a pretty new division. I dont know a ton about Pal Park, but Im pretty sure that former Marvin Hagler opponent Fulgecia Obeljemas beat him twice.

surprised that DM Qawi is rated above Carlos De Leon at Cruiser, he didnt have that long of a career there...
surprised that Hagler is rated so low.
Have to admit Im surprised Armstrong is rated above Ray Robinson at Welterweight.

Good post....nice to go back.

Do you think Pacquiao, Morales, MAB and JMM break into the top five in any of the divisions???

[AntonTheMeh]

jose napoles is a top five all time welter.

Barrera may have a case at 126 but I wouldn't give it to him
