    **** resume

    This is for the top 10 boxers ever p4p in your eyes. How do you rank them? I expect Mayweather and Jones Jr to feature in these lists.

    Kind of in order. I favor volume/pressure fighters with good chins. Freakish power is also a plus.

    Greb
    Armstrong
    Fitzsimmons
    Robinson
    Wilde
    Tyson
    Duran
    JCC
    Tunney
    Calzaghe

    In no order i'll have:

    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Wilfredo Gomez
    Roberto Duran
    Pernell Whitaker
    Roy Jones
    Floyd Mayweather
    Roman Gonzalez
    Henry Armstrong
    Muhammad Ali

    Lots of guys left off on the footage rule. Very little footage of Ezzard Charles at his best, so he's out. Charley Burley, just a handful of minutes, so no. Langford, Greb, not enough footage. I nearly left Armstrong off because of not enough footage.

    But, you know, doesn't mean anything.

    Sorry but Floyd does not belong anywhere near a top 10 greatest P4P list, that is very insulting to the true ATGs on there.

    Mayweather is one of the most brilliant fighters i've ever seen in the ring.
