Who's the greatest?

I would say Bob Fitzsimmons then Greb and Robinson in a tie for 2nd place.

From Tracy Callis (Callis is a member of the International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) and elector to the International Boxing Hall Of Fame):

"Bob Fitzsimmons was the greatest middleweight fighter of all-time, the second greatest light-heavyweight fighter of all-time, and the best "pound-for-pound" fighter in the history of the boxing"

During his career, held three world championship titles – middleweight, heavyweight, and light heavyweight, Jack Johnson rated Fitzsimmons better than anyone in boxing history.

Abdullah, Nice to hear from you...To list the ten greatest fighters is hard to do..I go with my intuition, and what impact the fighter had in his times...What obstacles the fighter had to overcome, and what the writers of his time wrote about him...And my imagination...Some interchangeable...
Greb
Fitzimmons
Langford
Ray Robinson
Benny Leonard
Joe Gans
Jack Dempsey
Joe Louis

 

Gene Tunney
Ezzard Charles
Jack Johnson
Henry Armstrong [omitted by oversight ]
Ike Williams
Roberto Duran
Willie Pep
Just opinions as we all have,abdullah

 

Abdullah, you know of my admiration for harry Greb..However I have read many accounts of Greb saying this..." If I ever fought Dempsey in a regular fight, after a few rounds Jack woukd kill me "...I have read this statement in old Ring Mags, many years ago, and from boxing writers of the time...A peak Dempsey at 190 lbs ,would eventually corner and ko even Harry Greb, as even Greb admitted, in a real fight...But Greb would have fought Dempsey, if given the chance...As the book title implies, Greb was fearless...B.B.

 

Amazing Robinson is number 1 in most picks in regards to pound for pound.

As said before, Greb was calling Dempsey out for a title shot(And along with Harry Wills EARN the said title shot. Greb if rankings were there back than, would have made a good number 2 contender)

Robinson on the other hand when offer a possible Marciano fight for the heavyweight title, turn it down. I pretty sure Harry Greb would have jump at the chance.

 

Interesting, I've never heard anything about that...

 

SRR with Greb as a close second.

 

Fitzsimmons, Langford and Charles are the only other ones I can see have a claim for the number one spot aside of Greb, Armstrong and Robinson. The others you have don´t have enough arguments.

If I had to pick I´d take Greb.

 

its still robinson.i've never seen greb so couldn't rank him

 

robinson only weighed 150ish when he was at his peak.greb had 20lbs on him.

 

Robinson is the greatest imo. I think Greb has a better resume but I cant give him the number one spot so hes a close second.

 

i'd have ezzard charles up there too.
