    I'd like to know why Winky Wright is ranked lower then Shane Mosley. I also think Joe Calzaghe is underrated on this list too

      I think Trinidad is too low. Sure, he relied on Papa Trinidad's surprise but man - could he absolutely strike fear before a vicious KO.

            I’m surprised Mike Tyson was rated so low; the dude was a breath of fresh air to the heavyweight division after previous greats like Ali/Frazier rode off to the sunset.

            Peace.

                  JMM and Corrales should not be higher than McCallum and Azumah Nelson. That's blasphemous in my opinion. They should be higher than Cotto and Wright in my opinion as well. Morales should be higher than Barrera. 'Nard should be higher than Roy. Pacquiao and Mayweather should be a touch higher.

                  Calzaghe should be in the 15-20 range.

                    Jose Luis Castillo is too high on this list as well.
