go on to the first page of this thread, and you'll see that Pep and Gans complete my top 10 All Time

i can reason with not having dempsey because he fought so long ago and his exact record is unknown, just said him because he was one of the first big name brawlers in boxing, i still think louis and marciano deserve mention though

Louis yes, Marciano no way!

Louis is very very close behind Ali on the HW list, but Rocky was nowhere near that level, despite his unbeaten record (which to me doesn't mean much at all). I have Jack Johnson, Foreman and Lewis above Rocky in my HW rankings

Granted I don't think he's close to GOAT but you have to appreciate if your polling on a forum that there are a lot that do.

Marvin Hagler not there either?
Pernell Whitaker?

Now, I know he beat some really good European fighters, but he was not in the class of a Greb, Robinson, Fitzsimmons, Pep, Ali, Duran, Armstrong, Langford, Gans, Charles, Ryan, etc.

That would be my top 5 as well, in a slightly different order. Really, though, pretty much any order is justifiable with that crew.

Never said he was. I was simply pointing out that Greb did not hold the record for most wins. Also, why did you mention Langford if you were only concerning yourself with World Champion boxers?

I said World Champion boxers and accomplished boxers. Langford is clearly the greatest non-champion in history. Did you not read my post??

"A fighter who actually accomplished something note worthy, besides having so many wins."

Sound like Langford???
