    And the list is a year or two old...
    I admit that might be up for a debate.

    you list Roy's TOP 10 wins and PAC's TOP 10 wins. No downplaying or highlighting certain details to avoid a merry go round argument.

    which one is better?

    1. Erik Morales 2X
    2. Marco Antonio Barrera 2X
    3. Juan Manuel Marquez
    4. Ricky Hatton
    5. Oscar Larios
    6. Oscar Dela Hoya
    7. Chatchai Sasakul
    8. Lehlo Ledwabba
    9. David Diaz
    10. Jorge Julio


    All World Champions. All won multiple championship from diffrent weight divisions except the last 4. This resume beat roy's imo.

        I doubt very few here have seen a lot of Henry Armstrong, Jack Johnson, Dempsey, and others...
        I've seen most of those old schoold fighters only in books and magazines. old videos arent accurate enough they move like cartoons.

        I was watching Villa vs Wilde and all of sudden wilde was down on the floor out.

            I won't put it 1-10 cuz some might debate it...

            James Toney
            Bernard Hopkins
            Mike McCallum
            Virgil Hill
            Antonio Tarver
            John Ruiz
            Glen Johnson
            Clinton Woods
            Montell Griffin
            Vinny Pazienza or Felix Trinidad(well washed up Trinidad)

            It may be close...both had higher weight supremacy....Roy went from 160 to heavyweight

                It not impossible, but very difficult to judge fighters by old film. They are missing many frames, grainy, filmed from a distance and most of the time from only one angle. What you see isn't a complete picture. TheGreatA put up a video of Vitaly with the missing frames and grainier than todays film and it changed how he looked as a fighter noticeably. How are we to believe fighters of the past were so crude when they fought on such crappy film, when one of the best heavyweights in the last 10 years looked like crap on a film not nearly as bad?

                    Alfredo Escalera, Jose Luis Ramirez, Ruben Castillo appear to be Arguello's best wins...

                    Evander's are probably Rid**** Bowe, Mike Tyson, and Michael Moorer...

                    I haven't seen enough Arguello to say for sure really...Evander is the only 4-time champ tho

                    Edit: O **** I forgot about Ruben Olivares...

                      All 3 should be above DLH IMO.

                      Between Vander and Arguello I'll rate Evander higher.
