    I don't put Tunney in my top 10 atg list either.. Anyways, my point was that people should only put top 10 atg's that they've actually witnessed, this isn't a list for boxers with the best resumes. I have to admit that the Dempsey roll is pretty bad ass though.

    Really? Name me another fighter who fought and beat ATG's all the way from lightweight to heavyweight? You reall dont know sh*t about boxing. If you think you do you're welcome to debate this choice with me.

    Mayweather? MAYWEATHER?! Hahaha

    If he beats pacman in their upcoming fight then maybe he belongs with all those names but right now Floyd should be nowhere near any ATG list.

    Why, is it not possible to guage a fighters greatness based on newspaper articles, first hand testimony and film of their opponents?

    How many of your top 10 fighters actually hold wins over other top 10 fighters on your list?

    I got no defense I like them better than the others and Marciano was undefeated after all, something almost no one else of his era could claim. I like Chavez a lot. :conf So why Not.:D

    You seem to have missed Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep, Benny Leonard, and Walcott.

    Leonard above Duran is objectively incorrect. Arguello and Jones way too high. Wlad ahead of Lennox and no Vitali??

    Unless this is supposed to be p4p?

    Hey this is my Top 25 ATG list write your own list if you think you can do better, no criteria was given this is just the way I see it. Also I wrote I won't put anyone on the list I haven't seen at least 3-5 matches of theirs and I haven't seen that much of Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep, Benny Leonard, and Walcott, so I didn't put them on my list.

    Personally I think Wlad's resume trumps Vitali's.

    Brilliant, but you should have put Trinidad instead of Chavez.
