Thoughts on this list, based on fighters who we have sufficient film of?? 1) Sugar Ray Robinson 2) Muhammad Ali 3) Sugar Ray Leonard 4) Henry Armstrong 5) Pernell Whitaker 6) Roy Jones Jr 7) Willie Pep 8) Manny Pacquiao 9) Roberto Duran 10) Marvin Hagler 11) Joe Louis 12) Thomas Hearns 13) Salvador Sanchez 14) Ricardo Lopez 15) Archie Moore 16) Jose Napoles 17) Julio Cesar Chavez 18) Alexis Arguello 19) Floyd Mayweather Jr 20) Ruben Olivares
Nothing wrong with that. Some things that done stuck out at me - Moore would be below Napoles, both would be above Lopez. Louis above Hagler, Pacquiao. Armstrong would be above Ali and Ray Leonard. I also think Zarate looks a sliver better on film than Olivares, and both look better than Arguello.
no way a Heavyweight should make the list if we are talking based on films. someone like Kalambay was at least twice as superior to any heavyweight I've seen and he rarely gets talked about here
Erm... define sufficient? Particularly was thinking of Ezzard Charles. Not enough film on him for you or do you just not think much of him? I see you got a new found respect in Armstrong. Don't remember him in the last list. I could nitpick a few things. But it's your list. I think for me the biggest thing that stands out is Louis being below Hagler. I'd have him above, I think he looks superior on film. I guess you could always argue quality of opposition, but then again Louis was fighting much bigger men. Hagler... was fighting a fair share of great fighters coming up in weight.
I've never seen any film of sunglasses man yet somehow he manages to get on every list. Damn nostalgia bull****.
i like lopez on the list personally, especially if it's based on footage. despite the warranted complaint that there isn't a long of in fighting, he's damn near flawless in the footage we have
