#3 is too low for Elorde
He was undefeated at 130 for 7 years in a time where there's only 1 champion @130Comment

Hiroyuki Kobayashi is currently running TAIHO KOBAYASI Boxing Gym which I was once part of when I was a university student. He is such a gentleman. Glad to see him not being cut in the list.Comment

I think the list doesn't make sense...
Sometimes it sounds satisfying or fulfilling to be called a writer of what ever field of interest one person is in...with my great love of sport especially of boxing, knowledge of such depends greatly of how eager u focus on what u've interested into...i find this list & even the previous listings in different weight levels of the respective writers opinion intriguing & of somewhat nonsense...even though i already don't like reading his writings based on his previous items it still catches my eye since it involves a lot of my favorite fighters of w/c i've closely monitored from the past up to the present...i believe he made lines of bases & made it complicated so that it will sounds better & convincing to the readers eye but i think he's the only one who understands it...i think from what the general public views as of fans favorite, experts/writers favorite, medias favorite, etc. will be a good basing factor to consider, since its a common denominator viewed as a whole package summary of creating a different lists of boxings best....the history of the collection of favorites from past to present reflects it all...not by guessing, not by inventing, not by illusions, but by records...

Sandy Saddler could be ranked higher but it's hard to determine which of his fights should count as being at 130 lbs since in some he or his opponent would weigh a pound or two over the limit.
He beat Zulueta twice and both fights were over 126 but under 130. He also beat Miguel Acevedo, Ray Famechon, Tommy Collins, Lauro Salas, Miguel Acevedo at 130.
Saddler had other fights where he weighed 130 but his opponents weighed in at the lightweight limit or over, for example against future LW champion Paddy DeMarco when Saddler stopped DeMarco in 9 rounds. Saddler was outweighed by 5 lbs.Comment

. All I'm saying is, Floyd would beat this guy easy, Arguello is slow/ very dependent on the right hand, look what happen to Corrales...The same will happen
Arguello except he won't get dropped
My dream match would be Mayweather vs Whitaker at 135Comment
