Thanks Burt! That means a lot coming from you!

(i had a sore throat)

 

1. Sam Langford - 217-48-39, 129 KO's - This dynamo is the greatest fighter of all-time never to win a championship. He beat MANY great names of his day, including Sam McVey, Joe Jeanette, and could have been champion at any weight from lightweight to heavyweight. You could put Langford or Greb at the very top, and I'd have ZERO issue with it, both are GIANTS in boxing history, especially when you factor in what both did against much larger men.

2. Harry Greb - 260-20-17, 48 KO's - Arguably the greatest offensive fighter of all-time, Greb was a whirlwind, who always fired punches from all possible angles, and who never stopped coming forward. The only man to beat the great Gene Tunney, Greb's resume is fully stacked with hall-of-famers and top contenders.

3. Sugar Ray Robinson - 173-19-6, 108 KO's - Beat 9 hall-of-famers and 50 top ten ranked opponents. Won titles at welterweight and middleweight (the latter title he won 5 times).

4. Henry Armstrong - 149-21-10, 101 KO's - Won titles in three weight divisions, featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight, and held these three titles at the same time briefly. Is arguably the greatest welterweight of all-time.

5. Ezzard Charles - 93-25-1, 53 KO's - The greatest light-heavyweight of all-time who later won the heavyweight title, Charles was one of the greatest technicians of all-time. Box or punch, he could do it all with the greatest of ease. Charles has one of the most impressive resumes of all-time, with victories over such fighters as Archie Moore, whom Charles beat three times out of three, and also has wins over Jimmy Bivins (4x), Elmer Ray, two victories over Charley Burley(!), two victories over Lloyd Marshall, four victories over Joey Maxim, Gus Lesnevich, and also, victories over Joe Louis and Jersey Joe Walcott, on top of the many other top ten contenders he beat. Criminally underrated in my opinion.

6. Willie Pep - 229-11-1, 65 KO's - One of boxing's biggest winners, Pep was a very dominant featherweight champion who relied on defense and counter punching to win.

7. Benny Leonard - 192-19-10, 71 KO's - Leonard is one of the greatest lightweights of all-time. After winning the title, he lost only once in his next 85 fights, a fight against the reigning welterweight champion, Jack Britton, in a fight that many people felt Leonard threw because Leonard did not want to have to hold two world titles at the same time. The Ghetto Wizard was one of the earliest scientific boxers who had GREAT punching power and excellent footwork. He fought and defeated many great names of the day, including Lew Tendler, Johnny Dundee, Willie Ritchie, and a large number of top ten contenders.

8. Roberto Duran - 103-16, 70 KO's - Arguably the greatest lightweight of all-time who later moved up and won titles at welterweight, light-middleweight, and middleweight.

9. Bob Fitzsimmons - 71-8-5, 61 KO's - Fitzsimmons is the first fighter to win titles in three divisions, middleweight, heavyweight, and light heavyweight, in that order. Had arguably the greatest left hook in history, and is the smallest-ever heavyweight champion, weighing just 167 pounds. Has notable wins over James J. Corbett, the original Jack Dempsey, Peter Maher, George Gardner, and Tom Sharkey.

10. 10. Joe Gans - 151-12-18, 96 KO's - One of the all-time great lightweights, fought and defeated many of the best contenders at the time. Gans was also the complete package. He could punch and box with authority and was an adept counter puncher. Has wins over Battling Nelson, Jack Blackburn, Mike "Twin" Sullivan, Frank Erne, and a large number of top ten contenders of the day. Gans is also the first ever African American world champion.

 

Woah, no need to be pissed. I understand there are some adjustments I have to make, and am open to making said changes.

 

I understand now. Thanks! And thank you all for the comments!

(p.s. - sorry about the text-to-speech, just couldn't talk that day).
