    Pac-Thurman is up there, but my pick would be Carbajal-Arce, what a way to close out a career

    Great pick, probably the W that cemented Hearns as an ''equal'' with the others of the Fab 4

    Whitaker didn’t get the nod against Oscar (I had it 113 even BTW), so he doesn’t qualify. Otherwise he’d definitely be on the list. SRR has some in the late 50s against Fullmer and Basilio.

    Hopkins had a late prime. It’s crazy how great he looked at 36 against a 28 year old Tito. If people weren’t familiar with Hopkins they’d say he was in his prime that night.
