    Then why do you have more than 3 exclusively HW fighters on this list above him?

    Maybe Benitez but Trinidad? Nah. Williams and Kid were savages who were punished because of the time period they fought in. I rate them both pretty close to Charley Burley who is clearly better than the two fighters you mentioned.

    Cause Lennox is bigger than all of them and it is basically a tossup.

    I have Marciano at #5 who is about 50 lbs lighter, Jack Johnson at #4 who is smaller, and Holmes at #6 who is also smaller.

    Fair enough on lewis

    Is your all-time p4p list the same as ATG list?

    But i still feel Sanchez had a better career than gomez

    TBH that was strictly based on activity. Wilde is still the greatest Fly ever even though he is overrated my many.

    I had Tunney #17 on my last list but I probally was overrating him a tad too.

    You don't take size into consideration? Marciano would be a cruiser today.

    The list is a bit unfair to heavyweights- and youve got Evander as the 4th best heavy of all time?! ahead of Holmes, Frazier , Foreman, Tyson?

    When I do P4P I generally go by weight class.
    Considering Lennox would be capable of fighting any man over 200 lbs, I would absolutely consider him in the p4p with hw's.

    In fact, being that big and doing that well is very uncommon. I think he deserves a lot of credit for it.

    I really don't think it is that close with Barrera and Morales. With the wins over Pacquiao and Jones I think it is pretty easy to put Terrible above the assassian.

    Kid and Williams were 2 of the 5 greatest fighters to never win a championship. I rate them very high.

    Sanchez might be a little bit low. I agree. DLH maybe. Oscar and Roy Jones have gone down on my list cause they didn't know when to quit.

    Sanchez beat more ATGs NElson,Lopez,Gomez and other excellent competition he was also never beat in his prime. Gomez was kod quite a few times notabally by Sanchez and Gomez wasnt past it cause he moved back 4 pounds and still had some good wins. No way is Gomez above Sanchez:patsch

    No I have him as the 4th greatest p4p heavyweight of all time. He had a nice cruiserweight carrer before he moved up to heavyweight.

    He is #8 all time on my heavyweight list though. He is massively underrated. Especially in the classic forum. Then again most of them know more than I do about boxing.
