I will ignore the top 30 comment as that was an obvious attempt at trolling.Comment

You can't deny his ability and will to win but his accomplishments speak for themselves and what they are saying isn't good.Comment

Just a swarmer who was lucky enough to meet Arguelo on the slide.. Add a bit of cheating, and you don't get an ATG..
Other than that, who did he beat?
Arguelo effectively retired him, and was definitely responsible for blinding him in one eye..
Pryor was good, but not great..Comment

Pryor had an offer to fight Duran. He had managerial problems which caused a delay and by the time he fixed up these problems, the offer was off the table.Originally posted by mrboxer View PostComment

top 10 all time great...i'd place him in the top 5 actually...he ruled the 140 division like no other in any point in history...Comment

I assume you mean top 10 at the weight class of 140, right?Originally posted by screwhead1 View Post
He's pretty high all-time at 140.
I've never really done any defintive lists though.Last edited by Thread Stealer; 12-16-2009, 08:46 PM.Comment

Overrated for certain he was good at what he done, but he beat Alexis Arguello with controversy in the 1st fight, and the 2nd fight Alexis Arguello was shot. Plus Alexis Argullo wasn't at his best weightclass, and also Antonio Cervantes was past his prime aswell, maybe you guys should check out Aaron Pryor vs Gary Hinton, to see how badly Aaron Pryor struggled against a slick boxer.Comment

His managerial problems also caused a potential fight with Mancini not to happenOriginally posted by Thread Stealer View PostComment
