It's just for what's been done in the past 25 years right? I'm not seeing Mike on that list.

Terrible list as basically everyone has stated, but cotto loses to winky at any weight. There is no way he ranks ahead. Erik morales would be befuddled by winky if they were at the same weight. Wlad loses literally all of his advantages which if he fights at any other weight, he's not p4p anything all time and isn't even the best klit.

Sigh smh :dahell: and WHAT THE fukk combined

Coming Friday: Nos. 10-6

15. Shane Mosley
  • Record: 49-9-1, 41 KOs | Years active: 1993-Present

  • Weight classes: Lightweight, junior welterweight, welterweight, junior middleweight

  • Titles: 6

  • Top 3 signature wins: Oscar De La Hoya, SD12, 2000; Fernando Vargas, TKO10, 2006; Antonio Margarito, TKO9, 2009
Stats & Info: Mosley is the only man to defeat Oscar De La Hoya twice, both times winning lineal world titles (welterweight in 2000 and junior middleweight in 2003).

ESPN's take: Arguably at his best at lightweight -- eight defenses, all via KOs -- "Sugar Shane" found greater fame and fortune at welterweight and junior middleweight. His decision win against De La Hoya in their first fight, when both were in their primes, was a masterpiece of ferocious virtuosity. -- Nigel Collins

14. Joe Calzaghe :dahell::dahell::dahell::dahell::dahell::dahell::dahell:
  • Record: 46-0, 32 KOs | Years active: 1993-2008

  • Weight classes: Super middleweight, light heavyweight

  • Titles: 4

  • Top 3 signature wins: Chris Eubank, UD12, 1997; Jeff Lacy, UD12, 2006; Bernard Hopkins, SD12, 2008
Stats & Info: From 1997 to 2008, Calzaghe made 21 title defenses, tied for the most in super middleweight history and tied for third-most in boxing history.

ESPN's take: Never particularly exciting to watch -- a little too safety-first for my taste, and a pitty-pat puncher -- but there's no arguing with the numbers: 46-0, 32 KOs and 21 successful title defenses, or some of the names on his resume. Beat Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Mikkel Kessler and Chris Eubank, even if all-time greats Jones and Hopkins were on the other side of the hill. -- Wally Matthews

13. Marco Antonio Barrera
  • Record: 67-7, 44 KOs | Years active: 1989-2011

  • Weight classes: Flyweight, junior bantamweight, bantamweight, junior featherweight, featherweight, junior lightweight, lightweight, junior welterweight

  • Titles: 6

  • Top 3 signature wins: Kennedy McKinney, TKO12, 1996; Naseem Hamed, UD12, 2001; Erik Morales, UD12, 2002
Stats & Info: Barrera's trilogy bouts with Erik Morales resulted in two Fights of the Year as nominated by the BWAA in 2000 for their first bout and 2004 for their third.

ESPN's take: One of Mexico's all-time greats, Barrera initially was a brawler who refined his style into that of a boxer-puncher, which was never more on display than in his massive 2001 upset of Hamed to win the lineal featherweight crown. He went 2-1 in his epic trilogy with bitter rival Morales. -- Dan Rafael

12. Lennox Lewis
  • Record: 41-2-1, 32 KOs | Years active: 1989-2003

  • Weight classes: Heavyweight

  • Titles: 7

  • Top 3 signature wins: Vitali Klitschko, TKO6, 2003; Evander Holyfield, D12, 1999; Mike Tyson, KO8, 2002
Stats & Info: Lewis won the lineal heavyweight title in 1998, becoming the first British-born boxer to become the lineal world heavyweight champion since Bob Fitzsimmons in 1897.

ESPN's take: A cut below Holyfield and Tyson, both of whom he beat when they were well past their primes, Lewis was a very skilled and hard-punching heavyweight who would have been a tough night for a lot of past champions. KO losses to Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman do not help his legacy, however. -- Wally Matthews

11. Felix Trinidad
  • Record: 42-3, 35 KOs | Years active: 1990-2008

  • Weight classes: Junior welterweight, welterweight, junior middleweight, middleweight

  • Titles: 5

  • Top 3 signature wins: Oscar De La Hoya, MD12, 1999; Fernando Vargas, TKO12, 2000; Pernell Whitaker, UD12, 1999
Stats & Info: Trinidad made 15 defenses of his IBF welterweight title from 1993 to 2000, the second-most in welterweight division history.

ESPN's take: One of the greatest finishers in boxing history, Trinidad carried his power all the way to 160 pounds. The native of Puerto Rico is adored to this day by fans for his exuberance and pride for his country. "Tito" made 15 welterweight title defenses and unified titles in two divisions. -- Brian Campbell
