    It's a terrible list, but frankenfag's top 10 blows it out of the water for sheer hilarity. Redrooster's top 25 wasn't much better, either. I'd love to see either of them, particularly frank, throw out a top 100.

    Eubank :rofl

    And I am a massive Eubank fan, but he wouldn't even get into the top 10 British fighters of all time let alone the top 100 of all time.

    Plus there are so many other mistakes that I agree with the thread starter - worst list I have ever seen.

    To be honest I think he simply picked a hundred names and threw up a random list.

    What makes me laugh is.....

    Tony Zale Over Ezzard Charles, Sam Langford, Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Foreman, Tunney, Walker, Canzoneri, Williams etc. How is Zale greater than them?

    Marlon Starling over Sam Langford? :-(

    Were is Bob Fitzsimmons, Orginal Joe Walcott, Jim Jeffiries, George Dixon, Tommy Ryan???? :huh

    Why is Barry McGuigan, Alan Minter, Jose Torres, Mark Breland, Iran Barkley, Bennie Briscoe, and John Conteh in a Top 100 list?

    Rocky Graziano number #36? Are You Kidding me?

    So much more I could rant about, but I'd be here all night.
