Use whatever criteria you like, rank some more if you want If I get enough replies I'll combine them. 1. Bob Fitzsimmons 2. Sam Langford 3. Sugar Ray Robinson 4. Harry Greb 5. Henry Armstrong 6. Ezzard Charles 7. Jimmy Wilde 8. Jem Mace 9. Archie Moore 10.

You know, when you end up with a top ten that has names Greb and Robinson forced right next to Floyd Mayweathers, you really might want to both rethink your criteria on lists before making another & also educate yourself more thoroughly on boxing before doing any more lists. Funny how you managed to arbitrarily find a place for good old completely out of blue reference like Jem Mace and Wilde, the latter to whom has probably the weakest resume of any supposed great fighter in boxing history.
I'm not sure about that Russell. I'm not sure that's the case. His flyweight resume is a little underwhelming but he did beautiful things at bantamweight.
The records of Wilde's opponents on boxrec is very incomplete. Anyway I pick ones I like, both P4P and all time rankings are super subjective already. If you think it's wrong post a better one.
Yeah, it's an off the cuff comment I didn't think much about, to be completely honest. But to be fair, he does have a pretty ho-hum record for a man who some consider the single greatest P4P fighter of all time because of his exceptionally diminutive size, yes? I've heard people take that position before. I don't think his record quite holds up to anywhere near his actual ability.

No I don't. I'm not a fan of the dude. But he is/was a great boxer and I wouldn't think it unreasonable to have him scraping the bottom of the top 10. I would probably put him somewhere in the lower half of the next ten. I have sympathy for the BitPlayer inclusion as I'm guessing a fair few would take issue with my placement of Roy at 10.
