    My suggestion is to have the 14 year old examine different fighters from the past or present, their matches. We are all talented posters on this site, if that youngster has any questions we are all here to answer any questions about the fighters and their fights. Everybody's opinions vary, but in the end it is important to show that 14 year old that his opinion is just as important as the opinion's of other posters. I have been watching boxing since 1965, my opinions of fighters may be different than the next guy, young or old.

    that's definitely something i will do. i've also been told if i can improve my math grade by the end of this week i'll be able to get a boxing bout simulator, so i can also run many sims on that to help with probabilities.

    That is good my friend, also concentrate on your education, it is very important. In the long run , having a good education is very important for your future. Any boxing questions, you can ask any of us.

    my last list had an abundance of people protesting my exclusion of calzaghe, i seem to be getting the opposite reaction here. personally i don't rate calzaghe as much as others but i had so many responses about him on reddit that i felt compelled to add him

    i think he's the best super-middleweight, yes. but overall i tend to favor the glamour divisions

    Is your list based on the opinion of others or have you actually watched the fights?

    i get much of my info from articles, other lists, and yes, other people. i do watch fights sometimes but it's hard to find much time. i try to cater to the majority basically

    Pound for pound is extremely tough. Not a bad list, overall.

    Not a bad go. There’s no right answer for a list. I’d suggest doing an all-time top 10 or 20 in each division and an all-time ranking of each country of the country’s with multiple greats like USA, Mexico, Britain, Puerto Rico etc; and of continents like Asia, South America, Africa etc; then go from there.
