Just been thinking about this a lot. It seems like the reason they are all so prestigious is in large part due to the legends that were able to develop over time about them.
We live in such a documented age, will anyone in this era be remembered with the greats in 500 years? Would these 5 people have a chance at the legacy they left behind if they started today?

##Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Jazza Dickens
Round 1
Rigondeaux with a little range finder. Dickens bigger, looking down at Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux feints with the lead hand and Dickens backs up. Rigondeaux misses a left uppercut. He ducks under a few jabs. Dickens looking to get knocked out by Rigondeauxβs left as he is staring at the right. Rigondeaux realizes that and tries a big left. Another one. Both miss, but the second was closer to the mark. A big right and left from Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux jabs. Dickens tries a right hook and Rigondeaux disappears. Dickens slaps with the right hand. Jab and a left that misses from Rigondeaux.
##Rigondeaux 10-9
Round 2
Rigondeaux with a big loaded up left hand. That was beautifully surgical. Dickens just misses two huge hooks, another one misses. Dickens thinks these are great shots when he lets them go but Rigondeaux is living in the matrix and nowhere near getting hit. Very quiet. Dickens has basically been figured out and he doesnβt want to throw anymore. Rigondeaux has made him pay enough.
##Rigondeaux 10-9, 20-18
Round 3
This fight is being stopped. That left hand Rigondeaux landed at the beginning of the second possibly broke Dickens's jaw and they're calling this one off.
##Official Ruling: Guillermo Rigondeaux by TKO3
