It can't be biased as much as any subjective (made by individuums) lists, only the programming codes (strings, arrays) can be made suitable: So it is possible in that kind manipulated, that Robinson and Ali are supposed to be at the top by these which created the current programming, but it has changed a lot in the last decade, very often got it edited, mostly worse than the original/ previous version.

So I prefer these which are published by PBC/ IBO. While I suppose even Fightnews is more neutral than The Ring Magazine (perhaps Boxing Monthly as well). They had Grigorian always in the top 10.

Same again, Skill and Achievements (résumé as lesser decider)

1. Benny Leonard
Imo the best jab PfP ever, having beat the likes of Lewis Tendler, Rocky Kansas, Soldier Bartfield, Ritchie Mitchel, Charley White and Johnny Dundee, among loads of others. Good Defence and unique movement. Check @reznicks's vid on him.

2. Joe Gans
Haven't seen any footage (in fact if any knows of some I'd love to see it), but his Résumé is very underrated with wins over
Bobby Dobbs, Young Griffo, George McFadden, Joe Grim and Jack Blackburn.

3. Roberto Duran
I don't need to explain, do I?

4. Carlos Ortiz
Looks very solid on Film. Beat: Duilio Loi, Joe Brown, Johnny Bizzarro, Sugar Ramos and Battling Torres

5. Packey McFarland
Unbelievable win streak, only losing his 9th fight. During this time he beat: Jack Britton, Mike Gibbons, Young Erne, Tommy Murphy and Freddie Welsh.

6. Tony Canzoneri
7. Ike Williams
8. Freddie Welsh
9. Lou Ambers
10. Juan Manuel Marquez

I'm not very informed in the division, as I am say Lightheavy, and therefore this list is open to change (drastically if I must). I do believe the top 3 are set in stone, just maybe not that order

Film exists of Gan's or did, I saw what was available some years ago now, very modern footwork, stance and punches singularly and in combination.
