    Who do you rank the highest on the atg list since lets say when Ali became the champ till now.
    Making only a top 10 is very dofficult because there are so many great fighters that I want to include but there is no room.
    Im sure a lot of people will disagree so please post your own top 10, its easy and I want to see who others have.

    1.Ali
    2.Sugar Ray Leonard
    3. Roberto Duran
    4. Manny Pacquiao
    5.Pernell whitaker
    6.Roy Jones jr
    7.Bernard Hopkins
    8.Marvin Hagler
    9.Thomas Hearns
    10. Julio Cesar Chavez

    Guys like mayweather,monzon,arguello,holyfield,tyson,lewis,barrera,morales,de la hoya and holmes could be included but if I had to choose these would rank the highest on my list.
    Whats yours?

    1. Roberto Duran.

    2. Sugar Ray Leonard.
    3. Pernell Whitaker.
    4. Muhammed Ali.
    5. Manny Pacquiao.

    6. Roy Jones Jr.

    7. Bernard Hopkins.
    8. Julio Cesar Chavez.

    9. Carlos Monzon.
    10. Oscar de la Hoya.

    Really struggled towards the end. I would definitely amend this list at some point. Those are the groups I would break them into and have no trouble swapping around. Doesn't feel right leaving out Hagler or Hearns. Though it wouldn't feel right leaving out Chavez, de la Hoya or Monzon. Bit weirded out at not seeing Arguello or Mayweather though either.

    Not going to amend this list any further but I've just realised I missed out Bazooka Gomez and Sanchez, along with Benitez to name just a few. **** :patsch

    Why the **** do I not have Ali at #2 in the same group as Duran....****.

    In no particular order:

    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Roberto Duran
    Manny Pacquiao
    Pernell Whitaker
    Roy Jones jr
    Bernard Hopkins
    Marvin Hagler
    Thomas Hearns
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Oscar De La Hoya

    Yes, I know that is 11, but I couldn't decide on just 10.

    Agree with most of the names but feel that Steve Barnes just edges into the 10th spot.

    Where's Duran. He went up from light weight to welter weight to beat your number 1 in his prime.
