    Michael Carbajal over Mike Tyson and Mike McCallum (among others) is utterly laughable.

    Riddick Bowe had elite talent. I think he was more talented P4P than Morales. He was also the undisputed champ, only lost once, and beat Holyfield twice. I think you could make a good argument for either guy.

    Heavyweights are overrated, also rjj shouldn't be no1... Great talent but doesnt have the resume. Pre prime Hopkins and over the hill mccallum were not elite, And if Toney was as weight drained as its made out to be, then neither was he.

    Yeah but Morales list of top level wins trumps what Bowe did, and his win over Pacquiao is a better win than Bowe's win over Holyfield, whom Bowe had such a size/weight advantage over anyways.

    Very strange list. You can always pick holes in any list, but there are some picks that seem inexplicable. Duran behind Jones? Holmes above Pea? Foreman above Chavez? Bowe ahead of Tito and DLH?

    All rather odd :think

    Kalambay was a good fighter but not better than Wright. In fact I would pick Winky to beat him if they ever fought.

    Where the heck is Morales? And what on earth is Roy Jones doing occupying the number one spot?

    Kevin was trolling with this, surely?
