    Holmes is higher all-time than Frazier and should replace him on that list. Whitaker is too low and needs to be above both Hagler and Monzon. Foreman is too high and should be behind Arguello and Hearns if your going to include them.

    Calzaghe and Hatton don't belong anywhere near a top 10.

    Monzon ruled MW like it was his *****. As did Hagler. The mention of Calzaghe, Mayweather Jr. and Hatton was a joke (didn't you read the post?)

    Good list :good

    Personally, I would squeeze Mayweather into that list, like him or not.

    :rofl
    Maybe in terms of god given ability, but PBF doesn't fight anyone who's a threat, only old fighters, or guys who come up from lower weight classes. Let him fight Margarito, Williams, etc., etc.....it will never happen.

    Fair list.....but....

    1. I would have Ali as no1
    2. Barely heard of your no7 & your no8 could surely make room for a Hagler/Chavez/Mayweather type guy no ?
    3. Im starting to rethink classing Duran over Leonard continously on these lists.
    4. Nogeuira losing broke my ****in heart, guys a soldier. :verysad

    You're entitled to your opinion. I wouldn't.

    Perhaps that means you should do a bit of research on those fighters rather than just assuming that more famous=better.

    Again, you're entitled to your opinion. I disagree.

    They all get old eventually. In MMA it's all about the young guns these days.

    There is not much at all between Leonard & Duran, its so close that it may even come down to preference.

    One fought the other tooth and nail and loss. Then he came back and made him quit, like a ****in *****.

    One was the victim of arguably the greatest KO punch in history. The other went to war and beat that guy who delivered said punch.

    No contest.

    Only those who have a preference for RD would even think about ranking him higher. I didn't particularly root for either, as I was always a fan of Hearns and Hagler.

    I´m surprised that people have Roy Jones Jr. on their list. I´m huge Roy fan but dont think he belongs on that list. Also surprised how low Hearns is, most people here doesn´t even have him on their list.

    If you're a huge fan you should know why he clearly deserves to be on the list.

    It appears you didn't read the OP very carefully.
