    Leonard,Lewis,Holyfeild,Mayweather,Hearns,Jones,Ty son,Holmes,Duran,Spinks,Hopkins,Hagler,Whitaker,Ch avez,Pacquio,Calzaghe,Waldimar,Marquez,Dela Hoya, Trinidad thats about the list in order i have no trouble with Tito being in there but no way i rank him higher then Spinks. Say what you want tito about the glam division or what ever but Spinks division was consider top of the crop and people gave a shit when he came on. Should look at more of his fights at the weight Spinks skills were off the charts and could ko dudes with both hands in a flash being undefeated Lhw has never happen before as champ and he held the Hw lineal championship at the same time that has never been done before either. I cut out lower weights besides Lopez because he was unbeatable and Lewis is a heavyweight that could beat anyone in the division history.

    Also i did put them up in order my list and all I would like to know how people view Spinks and Hagler. They both had about the same amount of defenses and the wins they have i think are pretty equal for how good they were at there weights. Would like to hear any thoughts on it people will say Duran and Hearns but both were not same force at middle weight and Holmes fights were close for Spinks. Going off that with out those wins who would you say beat the better comp at there weight class.

    What great fighters did Spinks beat? I know he was dominate champion but he was just before the time that I became a fan. Actually so was Hagler, but his fights were repeated and are classic.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    There were few lhw i would say that were pretty great at the weight class Spinks was in. Muhammad, Johnson and Qawi are about as good as any mw Hagler fought what Minter last guy forgot dudes name before Hagler lost to Leonard. Hearns was pretty good at the weight but was coming up and Duran was no star really at mw and up. If we count the Hearns win i say Spinks although both fights were pretty close beating Holmes was pretty huge and going up in weight to do it looking at the names i say lhw in Spinks era are as good as any really.
