    I could only make 10 options for the poll. Who do you feel is missing?

    Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis should be on this list.
    Both are more deserving than a lot of those guys.

    I am catering this poll to a belief that to be truly great you need to move up in weight, and both of those men spent their entire careers at heavyweight.

    Plus, only 10 options in the poll max.

    None of the above. Ali. Maybe it's a tie between him and SRR.

    An impossible quiestion to answear. Because the boxers evolve and the opponents for the boxers are not the same.

    This will only be a subjective poll because there is no way to pick a single boxer that are better than the current or prevoius ones.

    Pep from that list. Poll needs Armstong there though. I have no idea why Sweet Pea, Floyd, Manny and Hagler are there.

    Absolutely agree, there are many variables to consider. But lets say that someone put a gun to your head asked you to pick ONE GUY.
     
  11. Their isn't a definitively best ever. It's impossible to prove...

    By all accounts tho the masses cry Greb, Robinson or Ali! Take your pick..

    List your top 10 please, and the most frequent names of the top 10 will make it to the new poll.

    I am going by Mayweather's irrefutable logic that Ali should barely get a mention because he has spent his entire career at heavyweight. Could you list your top 10? I am gonna update the list with the most frequently quoted names.
     
  14. Holmes & Tunney are overlooked...
