    I just changed my list a million times, removing names, switching positions, juggling it around some more....

    Whenever I look it at, I am dissatisfied, either knowing I'm missing something or critical of my ordering.

    That said, I've been jerking around with this thing forever, and I think this is MUCH more difficult than any of the lists for a given weight class--at least for me.

    Anyway, for better or worse (*and I may well amend this)

    1. Sugar Ray Robinson
    2. Henry Armstrong
    3. Harry Greb
    4. Ezzard Charles
    5. Sam Langford
    6. Archie Moore
    7. Roberto Duran
    8. Benny Leonard
    9. Sugar Ray Leonard
    10. Willie Pep

    If I do lists for crusierweight, 168, 154, 140, etc -- will you be participating, or boycotting?

    First we need to clarify what makes a top ten p4p entrant.

    Some of these lists are popularity contests.

    All the lists are popularity contests...you can put whoever you want to.

    Everyone has their own criteria for what makes a top ten p4p fighter.

    im going to make a list of 30 fighters in each era that were great and somehw find a top ten.

    no doubt a great deal of top class fighters get forgotten about in top ten discussions.
