The Top 100 Pound for Pound All-Time Greats

Pernell Whitaker, he's at least done enough to separate himself from Roy Jones Jr., hasn't he?

 

for me his latter performances just confirm how good Tyson was that night.

 

For the reasons in my previous you are wrong

 

Larry is the king of excuses.

Fact is, at his very best he was hurt. But never faced a finisher like Tyson.

There you have it.

 

That's why I love boxing. Both can see the exact same thing completely different.

 

Totally agree

 

Np Dempsey got his ass handed to him by the two great fighters he met and George 'what do you mean the pivot punch is illegal' Lablanche. I feel alright without him while acknowledging his greatness. I don't think he's in those guys class.

 

The lablanche loss can't be held against him imo. He was considered as dominant as Floyd was today easily. It's just that we dont know enough about the calibre of guys he was beating. Early guys like that (pre serious record keeping) should receive the benefit of the doubt imo.

 

But don't forget he knocked out LaBlanche in 13 rounds previous to that fight and was also handling him in this one before the pivot punch happened :smoke

 

it opens up the playing field when you think about his number of top class victories as opposed to a lot who aren't mentioned yet.

One thing that is often overlooked with the pre 70's bunch is how often they lost during their prime. That's were more modern guys have the advantage.

 

I am going to throw one more name forward but it's only a suggestion
