    I'd say he's up there, though. To some degree.

    Duran, Hearns, Hagler and Benitez is pretty impressive.

    Who you think the argument is between for the best 4 signiture wins of all time?
    At first I strongly disagreed but the more I thought about it, there are very few fighters with 4 greater wins than that. This seems like a good topic for another thread maybe in the history section. I think I'll go with Charles - Moore, Burley, Walcott and Bivins.

      Yeah, I'd say he's definitely up there amongst the Top 10 in that regard.

      Charles is a good choice.

      Ali is an obvious choice.

      Erm, Ortiz has some good quality signiture wins.

      There's a few.

        Others not mentioned-

        Greb also has to be up there wtih wins over Walker, Flowers, Tunney, Rosenbloom/Gibbons

        Williams with Montgomery, Jack, Gavilan, Angott

        Pacquiao has Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Cotto (if he fought and beat Floyd, that may be the best 4 wins, all-time)

                McClarnin - Canzoneri, Ross, B. Leonard, Young Corbett III.

                Langford - Gans, Flowers, Wills, Philly Jack. If you want to count the NDs he should of won and replace Flowers and Philly Jack with Ketchel and Walcott he's in discussion as well.
