    voted 50 - 100

    he was the most popular fighter of his generation
    won a gold medal at the olympics
    was a HELL of a lightweight while it lasted. he had skill and size and incredible punching power at 135
    he fought virtually everybody
    he was in some tremendous fights

    his first fight with shane is a classic
    his fight with quartey is pretty damn close to that same level


    in the mythical historical sense he makes a great fight with a lot of the great lightweights. he might not win them all, but he'd still have that hook
    he didn't fight long at 140, but he'd do some good work there as well with some of the greats

                the trick is to fight no one but win all your fights.
