      Jirov was a good win but he looked far from dominant.

        He lost the fight on the scorecards in my view, but the fight 100% should have been stopped. Toney was teeing off with full torque, smashing him full force but he was refusing to go down.

          Tim Littles was undefeated too and Iran Barkley coming off some ok wins as I recall.

            Dude no one is talking about career resumes.

            To argue which win is more impressive you simply look at where the opponents were in their career and what was their level of skill.

            All the other **** you're bringing up is completely irrelevant to the analysis/discussion.

            This would be a much more serious debate had Floyd gotten a victory over Manny circa '09-'10 because he was at his peak. Similarly to how Nunn was at his peak when Toney fought and beat him. It's really that simple

              I thought the Jirov and Holyfield wins were excellent. Think he was fighter of the year for that.

              Toney is a great champion. Hall of Famer with all-time great talent. But...some pretty bad losses in his prime hurt his standing. The Nunn win was fantastic. I'm not sure I'd place it ahead of the Corrales victory though. Nunn really was a terric fighter in his prime but his career kinda descended after the loss to Toney. Corrales was also highly ranked when he fought Mayweather and continued to notch impressive wins over top fighters after (Freitas, Castillo, and Casamayor).

                It was a good win defintely. And obviously a great fight. He just wasn't dominant at all but then again when was he?

                Holyfield was decent.

                    Corralles is a god damned bum in comparison to Michael Nunn prime for prime. I would expect you to talk up the skills of Michael Nunn Mr Farrkhan lol, but I suppose you must defend the wife beater at all costs haha

                    And Holy was a shadow of his former self, heart problems and no speed left. Did you even see that fight?

As you said you had prime JCC, prime Pernell and prime Michael Nunn 1,2 +3, and James Toney in his prime around 6 or 7 i'd imagine and prime Mike at about number 4 or 5 probably. Can you post the entire list please?
                      1] JCC
                      2] Sweet Pea
                      3] Nunn
                      4] Esparragoza
                      5] Meldrick
                      6] Real Deal
                      7] Tyson
                      8] Raul Perez
                      9] Myung-Woo Yuh
                      10] Khaosai Galaxy
