Duran deserves that - he was a master of both offense and defense.

 

george foreman is far to high, good placing of duran though.

 

I would have rated him higher. Higher than both heavyweights in the top five.

 

Dempsey at number 16 is ridiculous.

 

I think Jack Dempsey is a little high ...

I mean, I like him, but I don't really think of him when I think of "The Best Boxers of the Last 80 Years". He was ferocious, and one of the great punchers of all time, but I would rank him a little lower as far as overall boxing greatness.

 

Tito ahead of DLH ?

 

Is this p4p? Anyone know what criteria they've used?

 

It is not a bad list.

Jones should be much higher.
Foreman too high. Dick Tiger too high. Trinidad too high.

Just skimmed it over...

 

So Pac can't be lower than to 32. Pac is already recognized as the Greatest Asian fighter ever.

 

By you?
