You cant have a superfight bigger than that. Everyone wanted to see these two legends go at it and determine who is superior. Yogi, i think pernell proved to you that he was indeed superior to his dance partner, the Great julio cesar chavez.
azumah nelson is top 10 at featherweight, i have talked with many people regarding this and they usually hold nelson in a higher regard than the people u are bragging about.
When i do these debates, its just for fun. If you want to cry about it and say that you are done talking, then go ahead.
In my honest opinion, i think that the way you guys rank ur top p4p boxers of all times, is based on the amount of respect from the writers of thier own era. You are a hockey fan like me, maurice richard was the big rockstar in his days and everybody loved him, the guy has a huge legacy. Many "experts" rank him among the best players of all times. Would i call him a better overall hockey player than jagr or frosberg, no way, dream on. They are by far, superior. I still respect the rocket though, hes important to the history of the sport.
