6. Mickey Walker

9. Roberto Duran
10. Muhammad Ali

 

Agreed 100%.

Although as you can see, I have him ranked at #10, I also considered replacing him with either Barney Ross or Ray Leonard. I think he's a lock for the top 15, but is only in or around the fringes of the top 10.

 

Maxim ruined Charles. Look at what happened in his next time out:

Nice list, I like this. I was seriously consider Armstrong over Greb. Half the time he's above and the other he's not. I think he's a lock for a top 3 spot either way (I know many think Langford and even Fitzsimmons are more viable. The former has an argument, the latter I consider halfway absurd).

 

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Harry Greb
4. Muhammad Ali
5. Joe Louis
6. Sam Langford
7. Benny Leonard
8. Roberto Duran
9. Willie Pep
10. Sugar Ray Leonard

 

If you have Duran top ten there is no logic in not having Ali in there.

 

Why's that champ?

 

Ali is better and beat the better fighters. Duran has one win better, Ali has the depth. Simple as.

 

These things are never that simple..because its all opinion and ones own perspective.

3- Harry Greb
4- Henry Armstrong
5- Ezzard Charles
6- Muhammad Ali
7- Roberto Duran
8- Benny Leonard
9- Archie Moore
10- Mickey Walker

 

Ali's so-called "depth" is a shallow compared to many more than 10 ATG's.

 

No it's not.

 

How about compared to other heavyweights?

 

This is a P4P list, not heavyweights only.
