    Self explanatory. Top 5 greatest fighters who are still living. With Whitaker & Hagler gone in recent years, it's removed two guys who otherwise would have had a case on the list.

    I would say:

    1. Duran
    2. Leonard
    3. Jones
    4. Floyd
    5. Pac

    I suspect this may be the same top 5 others have.

    Honorable Mentions: Ortiz, Jofre, Spinks, Chavez, Hearns, Hopkins, Gomez, Olivares, Benitez, Harada, Cervantes, Canto, Buchanan, Laguna, Lewis, Holy, Holmes, Foreman, Tyson, Nelson, Fenech, Qawi, McCallum.

    I sometimes forget that Ortiz and Jofre are still alive.

    Didn't know Ismael Laguna was still alive until I just checked.

    I also forgot that Kid Pambele is still alive.

    2. Roger Leonard
    3. Bobby Pacquiao

    I think "Vicious Victor" is the best Ortiz alive today.

    To be honest, I wasn't totally sure that Leoncio was still alive.

    When I was younger, I lived in a block of flats with my mum, and the people who lived below is were called Mr and Mrs. Ortiz. Mrs Ortiz was very good with me and my little sister Gracie, but she got arrested for slicing off her husband's fingers.

    She's the hardest Ortiz alive today.

    I would've gone with Saul Duran. But otherwise, solid list.
