He's a well known troll / awful poster. The fact you think he's excellent says even more about you. And just when i thought you couldn't get any lower than you already are. :tired:dead:barf
Fair play, you caught me. You come up with a list of steroid cheats and a few also ran's and rank them ATG's. Then you try excusing the use of PED's with the old chestnut about guys from previous era's using them if they could. Once again, fair play to you. As far as trolls go, you're a good one.:good You will forgive me for saying none of the people you listed are fit to carry Duran's Hearns, Chavez's or Hagler's used spit buckets I hope.
If your talking all time best rather than all time greatest in the modern era then you forgot the best of them all - Ricardo Lopez. He was the closest thing to boxing perfection in the history of the sport. Speed, timing, footwork, power, defense, combinations, iq punch variety were all 10 out of 10.
The 'modern athlete' lol. Show me a 'modern era boxer ' who can box 110 rounds over 7 hours like Andy Bowen and Jack Burke did 1893
Show me the level of quality at which they fought. I guarantee they would get absolutely socked by the ATG 130lbers of the modern era.
Has any boxer from any subsequent era, been a better athlete than Battling Nelson? If they were, they never came close to proving it!
Thats a different matter. Those guys had engines, endurance and toughness that guys of today don't have. Thats what athleticism means
A couple of decades later though and i'd fully expect the modern era 130 ponders to get socked horribly
Based on what? There isn't even much quality footage of them. You nostalgics believe in myths that can't be proven by anything empiric. From what we do have about these fighters everything proves that they were vastly inferior to even modern D-level fighters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6foQEfkFHFM Chin up, no footwork, no jab, no head movement or slipping, practically no defense actually. This was boxing in the black&white days that some people idolize here. Yet dinovelvet wants you to believe that these guys would beat Klitschko and Fury and are also better athletes than them.
Top 10 is very difficult. Obviously we're talking prime. Roy Jones Jr Sugar Ray Leonard Muhammad Ali Tommy Hearns Roberto Duran Jose Napoles Sugar Ray Robinson Vasyl Lomachenko Pernell Whitaker Number 10 is up for grabs. At the moment, it is looking more like Floyd Mayweather (130lbs) to me.
