    The reason the old timey greats are rated so high is because they fought so much more

    Conversely they tended to lose a whole lot more

    Which is why SRR 120-1 is so amazing

    Although Durans 70-1 isn't too far off especially when you consider he beats another atg in his prime after moving up

    Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall can make better lists than most of the GF, while they cut Cuba Gooding's hair.

    Greatest KO in boxing history

    Beat the consensus #5 x 4

    Stepped up 3 weight classes to take on cowardly but extremely talented F. Mayweather jnr

    Cleaned out one of most stacked lightweight divisions in recent memory

    Not bad for a natural 130lber

    My top 10

    1.Sam Langford
    2. Harry Greb
    3. Ray Robinson
    4. Henry Armstrong
    5. Ezzard Charles
    6. Willie Pep
    7. Robero Duran
    8. Joe Gans
    9. Benny Leonard
    10. Mickey Walker

    I should probably get Fitzsimmons in there somewhere. Also my top 4 are solid, after that everone is interchangeable.

    LOL @ RJJ being in the top 10, let alone #1.

    I could see him being #1 if we're talking pure talent and ability, but he doesn't have anywhere near a good enough resume to be in a top 10 ATG list.
