    Its a good list. I certainly dont have any beefs with it. You could switch a few around but it really comes down to personal opinion doesnt it? And his opinion isnt bad.

    I really don't like the list. How the hell can Harry Greb not be in your top 20 p4p?

    And were is Micky Walker, Barney Ross, Monzon, Archie Moore, Chavez?

    But yet Zarate, Perez, Canto are in the list?

    Arguello is also to high

    Greb and Walker should be on there but I've seen worse. Personally I'd have them top 20 though. Fitzsimmons and Langford are decent choices for the top 3 and often overlooked. I cant see the problem with Canto, great fighter, very underrated.

    A few off the wall picks, but otherwise it's one of those unique lists that I don't have too much of a problem with.

    Where's Greb? Why is Leonard so high? Why is Fitzsimmons there? Why is Armstrong so low? Why is Arguello so high? Etc.

    As I said, there were a few off the wall picks that didn't make much sense at all (that one being the main one that stood out), but otherwise I thought it was not too bad a list, if very unorthodox. Unorthodox does not always equal poor.

    archie moore not even in the top 20 ? it's a ****ing disgrace or a list made by people suffering from brain damage.
    but i see this on more lists (not only boxing lists) evrybody is allowed to vote.
    personally i think if there is voting for a list, boxing, soccer, music or whatever if you don't know to much about it don't vote.
    p.s. sugar ray leonard at 8 ?? all respect for him but he ain't a top 20 pfp

    Yeah, all in all that list kind of does suck now that actually think about it. On first glance it seemed cool and different, now not so much. More due to the fighters he left off than anything. Also, the inclusion of Zarate is pretty senseless any way you slice it.
