    Jim Watt. The only absolutely ridiculous list was Jonny Nelson's. Looks like he thought about it for all of 5 seconds.

    Jim Watt for me.

    Nelson having Tyson in his top 5 and Jack Johnson at number 1 is crazy to me.

    Surprised Duran featured so high in so many lists.

    I would have Hagler in the lists ahead of Duran

    Ali
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Hagler
    Alexis Arguello
    Mayweather

    Don't think people should include fighters they've not seen fight in their own lifetime (apart from ali who there is so much footage of)

    Yeah, pretty clear Nelson's picks are there for what they did for the black movement/black culture in general.

    Same as the people who regard Di Stefano/Puskas/Pele as the best footballer of all-time, despite there being very little footage of them at all. People definitely look back at sportsmen before their time nostalgically, as people take for granted what they have in the here and now.
