Evander Holyfield would definitely argue this.

I believe Duran was 72-1 when he fought Leonard the second time. The list isn’t based on who beat who, but their overall career. Duran was possibly the best lightweight of all time.

Prince Naseem Hamed in the top 50? I hope you're talking punchers because he's definitely not top 50 of all time. Not even close.

Get on line and find old film or vhs or dvds, what ever it takes. There was never any one like him !

I completely agree. He was something special.
Also, Hagler should be higher on the list. Mayweather would be higher on the list as of 2008. Tyson 1985-1989 was amazing, but I wonder if 1995-2006 removes him from this list especially all-time, but man was he fun to watch.
