The Top 100 Pound for Pound All-Time Greats

The big question is where is Ottke fitting? No blueprint :deal

 

Loi>Calzaghe

As flyweights go Tunacao and Koki really aren't up to much. Flyweight lineage got tricky in the 80s, and although it evened itself out, post-Sasakul is a lot like post-Oguma (or indeed Avelar, depending on whether you think he belongs in the second list or not) where the 'lineal' title was changing hands between merely above average-to-good fighters. Like Chitalada, Pong took the title and made it his own. 24 hour weigh in's ruined the lower weights though, and Wonjongkam's era and level of comp', as well as the fact he had longer rehydration period's, something Muay Thai converts didn't used to get (they weigh in same day even now) are reasons Pong was able to sutain himself. That and a lot of truly abysmal challengers, and that's not me being 'anti modern' or anything, they just were, look at 'em.

Naito is likely his best opponent IMO. Awkward and likeable though he was, he really isn't that good a scalp.

Young Stribling. No love for this guy?

Khaosai Galaxy does not belong. His title claim is one of the phoniest ever. He didn't fight the best in his division either. Think about it; Watanabe and Poontarat unify. Watanabe is stripped of the WBA. Well, look who fights it out over the next few years for the lineal, should be unified WBC title and look who Khaosai fights. Yes, Khaosai had some damn good opponents. But Roman is a more acomplished fighter over two weights, without being a physical monstrosity and cement fisted midget crusher, and while he doesn't have the aesthetic quality that Galaxy's ring record has, he clearly fought and beat the better fighters. Yes he was humbled at the end of his career but I think Khaosai would've been if he'd fought Konadu and Moon.

I mean, why would I be trying to argue a Thai out of a high placing? I'm the guy currently uploading footage of Netrnoi Sor Vorasingh and Sot Chitalada to youtube.

Khaosai does not belong.

 

Reid couldn't even touch him though.....like literally...,....wasn't allowed to touch him. That speaks volumes on Ottke's ATG'ness.

 

Tszyu does not belong. Not in this field.

 

Flea, loi over calzaghe is definitely a possibility but I do think you are being a bit harsh on wonjongkam and galaxy .

 

Brian Mitchell was bloody good and a bit underrated, but not in this class.

Am I mental or did Pete Herman make the top 100? 'Cause I can't see him on any of the tiers here? I am mashed though.

 

Flea you're aces, you said you weren't gonna **** with this anymore for the night and a tad later you're right back in :smoke

 

I'm on board with shaking Tszyu and Mitchell from the holding
