    Here's a 40 minute segment of so-called experts and analysts telling us who they consider to be the top 20 greatest fighters of all time. I doubt this list will be too popular but it's good viewing regardless.

    :-( That was Bert Sugar's opinion.

    Muhammad Ali came out on top on the actual list.

    12 Moore And people are impressed with Hopkins longevity
    13 Pepp he's too low imo
    14 Jones
    15 Duran
    19 Chavez

    Can't disagree with the fighters but the ranking could be debated.
