Pleased to see the Cuban Hawk making the Top 5 on just about Everyone's 147 List. :deal

 

not good to see leonard being massively overrated at welterweight. ted "kid" lewis only appearing on my list. just dreadful. he's probably the best welter in history. check out his killer resume.

and britton only getting on two. one of which is mine.

fitzsimmons only appearing on my list for middleweight? sort yourselves out people.

Not finished my BW list yet.

@Assassin, TK Lewis is my #18: Britton (x6), M Glover (x2), S Bartfield, J Griffiths (x4), C White, L Duffy (x2), W Ritchie, K Graves (x2), J Tillman - Britton (Dx2), J Griffiths (D), W Brennan (D), Downey (D) - Britton (Lx8), M Glover (L), S Bartfield (Lx2), L Duffy (L).
Lost a fair bit in his prime (some of my numbers could be off, I did this months ago) and by my money he had a total of 17 months as the best WW in the world. I genuinely find it incredulous you could class him the WW goat.

Britton is my number 7 so only just misses out on my top 5.

Fitz is my #10 MW. achieved great great things but not enough depth of quality for his resume. as a p4p fighter, in terms of achievement I have him only second to Armstrong.

 

Foreman looks too high to me, I could see Holmes creep into my top 5 ahead of him :think:

 

Not one person gave a shout out to Mayweather, i know this comment will get a lot of hate but SERIOUSLY, the guy has dominated for 16 years without a loss, do the right thing..

 

-Muhammad Ali
-Joe Louis
-Larry Holmes
-Rocky Marciano
-Sonny Liston --(Great chin, great power,great reach,great technical boxer,Greatest heavyweight jab, he dosen't get the credit he deserves IMO)

 

i agree that Floyd skillwise is right next to Leonard/Robinson but he doesnt have the legacy at any one weight. Also not fighting Pac devalues his presence at the Welter. Imagine Leonard not fighting Hearns...

 

My ever changing top 5 lists

Ali
Louis
Johnson
Holmes
Lewis

Dempsey just does not belong anywhere near the top 5.

Greb
Robinson
Hagler
Monzon
Hopkins

Robinson
Leonard
Armstrong
Galivan
Napoles

 

Sugar Ray Robinson
Henry Armstrong
Sugar Ray Leonard
Jose Napoles
Kid Gavilan


Harry Greb
Carlos Monzon
Sugar Ray Robinson
Marvelous Marvin Hagler
Bernard Hopkins

Muhammad Ali
Joe Louis
Larry Holmes
Rocky Marciano
George Foreman

 

this is a HW, MW and WW thread, Floyd hasn't fought for that long in either division.

 

I feel ya..
