Number 44 is fucking BS end of.
No way, he's was really good, but thats 44 out of the best ever, he wasn't that well recognized which is a big factor, he never got the credit he deserved, and thats probably why he is so low, but he lost to Oscar, not by the scores they had, but he lost that one.

Because people naturally dry hump the past all these guys won't get the credit they deserve until 20+ years down the road. Honestly guys like Whitaker, Hopkins, Mayweather all deserve to be higher, especially Hopkins with his fight with Calzaghe and his win over Pavlik now. I think he should be p4p in the top 30.
