Top 10 pound for pound Boxing Badass Motherf***ers

[Stonehands89]

...Sharkey's rematch with Jeffries alone may be enough to launch him into the badassmosphere. Both fighters reportedly lost about 15 pounds in that bout due to the heat and Sharkey finished the fight -with his face a bloody mess, several shattered ribs, and a broken jaw. He lost -but who cares?

Some strikes against BERNARD HOPKINS however:

1 Lost to a white guy.

2 Pretended to get punched up the balls when he couldn't handle the pace.

3 Prone to wearing a ****in stupid mask. Whatever the case me be against Tyson, he never wore a mask. He got a tattoo on his face instead.

4 Lost to Jermain Taylor. I'll repeat. Jermain Taylor.

5 Hasn't got proper teeth. And not in a menacing way.

6 Appeared to cry after beating Pavlik. Like, actually crying. Like a bird.

7 Fought Robert Allen 28% of his entire career.

8 Never took the cut necessary to avenge his biggest defeat. Instead, dominated what Roy left behind.

PS, I'll chuck in Tyson, Qawi, Barbados Joe, Benn, and Ketchel as worthy names.

A hilarious summation of Hopkins' career. Well done son.

As if Tyson's tattoo isn't unbelievably embarrassing.

It's great that Hopkin's looked goofy at times for 15 minutes coming to the ring. Tyson's going to look stupid for the rest of his life.

[McGrain]

Bump...mad old thread.

[Hattons Hook]

Coul Gerald Mclellan be considered for his dog fighting and flemingo killing antics and while also being competitive in one of the fights of the last century while bleeding into his own brain?

[Seamus]

This guy is Number 1 thru 10.

Great thread, but what about Greb? Fought half his fights with one eye and against the best, AND against fighters who were not only very skilled but heavier than him. (Tunney, Gibbons, Norfolk, Dillon etc) and only "KO'd" twice in 300 fights. Not to mention he beat (according to some historians)Flowers, Dillon (multiple times) and Walker. Now we know too that there was no street fight with Greb after their 15 rounds. You gotta be some fighter to have Dempsey scared to fight you. Greb has to be no.1 (after Jack Johnson that is.)

[red cobra]

Yes, Johnson was a true, before his time, "without a template", crazy badass.

[red cobra]

Monzon was surely a badass..you can't be a globetrotting, 14 title defense champion for 7 years without being one, and as an honorary badass, I nominate Yori Boy Campas..just for taking it from Tito without going down, and putting that long overdue whipping on Tony Ayala.

[teeto]

Monzon threw his wife off a balcony. He is royalty here.
