Some posters may debate some placements, but if that's off the top of your head, it's an awesome effort.

Bowe was a lot of things but high on a p4p list isn't one of them. And even though I'm a huge Lewis fan (face it you either love him or you hate him) I don't think he belongs on a p4p list either. Holyfield's a different story. At the very least he's a candidate.

Ali during the decade of his prime was clearly the bestp4p fighter of the 60's even taking in to account the enforced lay off.

No, actually, Jofre was considered the best.

Your 90's list is absolutely Riddick-ulous !

Barrera and the fat man doesn't belong in the top 5.

Where's Pernell Whitaker ?

You kidding? Do you really think Rednut is going to mention Whitaker after his legendary ass whupping of peak Camacho in the gym?

redrooster · 07-25-2007, 10:30 AM

I already have Pernell in as you can see. I was never that crazy about him and forgot but until Sweet Pea reminded me of his credentials.

Barerra was edged out by Hopkins with his 20 defenses. Holyfield was whipped twice by my man. I was going to put in Lewis but then I remembered his crappy chin.

Ezzard · 07-25-2007, 03:28 PM

No way is Pryor top 5 p4p in the 1980s. Spinks has a shout at number 1 for that decade.

You put your finger on my biggest oversight. Spinks should have been third in the 1980's--he just slipped my mind. Sorry. I do think Pryor deserves to rank #4.
