    Impossible to list even 100, nevermind 1000.

    Once you list say the Top 25 stand alone SRR types, the rest, great that they are, there is little between them and even then you can never accurately list them in order, plus you'd also forget some, overlook others or wrongly place some too.

    Lists are in short futile inaccuracies which can never be right.

    TOP Fighters are just that Top fighters with little between them and in a 150 Years, there are 100's of them even 1000's.


    Waste of time.

    Any list of this kind and this long is going to be subjective with especially the lower and lower you go down.

    it's valid in the sense that one could gp through every year and decade and list the greatest champions, contenders and fringe contenders from boxings leading nations... that could certainly provide you with a 1000 or more over the 150 years, you could probably from there put them into tiers 1, 2, 3 and be reasonably accurate if you took the time to look at all the variables for honest assessment.

    then you could say these are among the greatest fighters the sport has ever thrown out, but it would be a litteral impossibility to list them in any perfect order, impossible and Inaccurate.
