What a ******ed magazine. Usyk is the goat cruiserweight. Johnson isnt a top 50 heavyweight let alone a top 5. Eyebrows raised at Toney at 168 as well.

 

Holyfield above Usyk at cruiserweight based on what? Im no fan of Froch but he was better at 168 than Toney.

 

Johnson is commonly found in the top 10. The body of work those ahead of Toney possess is quite solid.

With Usyk being the flavor of the month i'm expecting quite a few to take exception to that vs other potential disparities. I'm also expecting quite a few to factor his latest heavyweight win subconsciously into the equation as well, not that i'm saying he can't or shouldn't be ahead of The Real Deal.

 

Extremely impressive overall given how much they took on.

 

Decent i gues but still, Jack Johnson at 5 in HW is really bad. The worse are at the lower weights class, in the Junior Bantamweight list Khaosai gets overrated so much, Gilberto Roman should be 1. And i think when they are done, Roman Gonzalez, Estrada and Rungvisai should be ranked higher than the likes of Watanabe and Tapia

In Jr Flyweight Jung Koo Chang is CLEARLY the greatest down there without a doubt. And no mention of Vicente Saldivar in featherweight when he has an argument to be greater or as great as Salvador Sanchez was

 

I think Frankie Liles should be to 5 and I'm quite surprised that Rigondeaux made it to 5, maybe Wilfredo Vasquez deserves a mention.

 

Terrible list.

 

There's some bad errors, but overall it's a pretty good set of lists.

 

No Saldivar?

 

Hagler over Greb.

The heavyweights are perfect...until the Jack Johnson at no. 5. I rate Holyfield, Foreman, Lewis, Marciano, Frazier, Tyson, Wlad, Liston, Dempsey over him. In that order.

 

Looks very good overall.

 

I was pleased to see Holmes at 3 af heavyweight - his stock has risen over the last 20 years.

Only this morning I was looking at @McGrain's greatest light heavyweights top 50 (brilliant resource) as I was watching some Tommy Loughran and I re-read Greb's win list at light heavy - it is insane. He should be in the top 5 there.

There are a few other odd positions and as has been mentioned, no Vicente Saldivar at featherweight is a bad one when they've put Sal Sanchez at 2. But I've seen a lot worse.

 

He is if resume counts for anything.
