As great as Carlos Monzon was, I cannot phantom or see him at position #45. Arguello at position #42? This is Garbage by ESPN...Whitaker at 44? How could it be? Whitaker dominated the whole 90s decade and almost never lost a fight not to mention that he probably never lost a round.Borinken25 wrote:Not according to ESPN top 50 p4p.
