Brit forums all-time P4P top 10

He also has Kalule at 154, which I rank very highly :good

 

Im sure Gaz will be right onto the nuances of why Ray deserves such a high ranking when he sees this thread though he still has to give his own list which should make for interesting reading :think

 

Ok based on what i actually no about boxing historicly it goes like this.

1. Ray Robinson
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Harry Greb
4. Ezzard Charles
5. Sam Langford
6. Ray Leonard
7. Muhammad Ali
8. Willie Pep
9. Carlos Monzon
10. Marvin Hagler

this is going off more what i have been told had the bits i have seen. ridicule if you wish but i won't be bothered.

 

no duran? i do have a bias but still

 

some nice lists, il have to get crackin

 

I'd find a ''Top 10 of the Decade'' easier to do.

Then again, for the 2000's after Pacquiao and Hopkins at #1 and #2 I'd be struggling to put the rest of the names in the right order.

Might look at the 80's, 90's and 00's later, see where I end up.

 

Of the last decade. 2001-2010 I would go with

1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Floyd Mayweather Jnr
3. Bernard Hopkins
4. Joe Calzaghe
5. Juan Manuel Marquez
6. Oscar De La Hoya
7. Ivan Calderon
8. Veron Forrest
9. Shane Mosley
10. Wladamir Klitscko

 

Can't see Floyd over B-Hop myself. Your top 10 isn't bad, but I'd have Durab in over Monzon or Hagler myself....Hagler and Monzon sit just outside my top 30 :good

only my opinion :good

 

Mine would be something like.....

1. Pacquiao
2. Hopkins
3. Mayweather
4. Marquez
5. Morales
6. Barrera
7. Mosley
8. DLH
9. Jones
10. Lewis

------------------

1990's - a quick list.....

1. Jones
2. Whitaker
3. Chavez
4. Holyfield
5. DLH
6. Lewis
7. Trinidad
8. Barrera
9. Morales
10. Lopez

Probably at least a couple of glaring omissions there

 

The 80's I think will be the hardest of the three.... there's lot of quality in there, and there's lots that were only active for part of that decade, such as Arguello, Whitaker, Leonard, Holyfield and so on.

I suspect if you polled everyone on the 80's you'd have some pretty variable lists, whereas the 90's and 00's I'd be surprised if more than 15 names came up for each.

 

Mine would be something like:

1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Bernard Hopkins
3. Floyd Mayweather
4. Juan Manuel Marquez
5. Joe Calzaghe
6. Marco Antonio Barrera
7. Eric Morales
8. Winky Wright
9. Shane Mosley
10. Roy Jones Jr.

And I'm not even going to contemplate a top 10 of all time. I know of the greats, but not enough to do such a list justice :good

 

i just dont like hopkins very much.

 

So it's bias then?
