roberto duran is the best fighter on that list. even ray leonard would tell you that.
his prime was in the 70's, however, if you can believe that. he beat kenny buchannan for the LW title in '72.
the fight of the century with joe frazier was in '71.
ali's physical prime was in the 60's, and prior to his layoff. many of his best wins came after the begginning of duran's prime.
that's what makes it a tough question. it's not whether duran is a greater fighter than ray leonard. he is. leonard had a great career, and is a great fighter, but his record is very short for a great boxer.

It has to be between Wladimir and Sugar Ray Leonard atm but If Wladimir Klitschko get's that WBC belt off of Wilder, beats Jennings and Tyson Fury then It's got to be him he could just break the longest reign of a heavyweight champion.
So for record breaking purposes it would help a lot that added with the fact IF he cleans out another era he will fuel the cry baby haters with more tears for years to come.

Pac is ahead of Leonard and Duran already and will be right up there with Muhammed Ali if he beats Floyd.
