    Skills, resume, accomplishments, etc?

    Of course it's a variety of different things, but what do u think is the most important factor?

    How many washed up greats you can beat while pretending they were in their primes.

    Its difficult to pinpoint one thing. Accomplishments is at the fore and everyone loves a multi weight champ but if your unlucky enough to not be born in an era with a stacked division or have the build to move thru the divisions should this restrict someones greatness if they have phenominal skills?

    Accomplishments is the most important factor, after that comes skills.

    On this web site its what country you are from. Were all so biased towards someone wherever we're from.
    In my honest opinion, it should be accomplishnents, or if someone has done something a bit special ie titles at different weights, lots of defences, titles, competition etc. But im really not knowledgeable enough to make the judgements myself

    Achievements are the most important factor for me. On an Achievement top 10 heavyweight list, Joe Louis would be #1.
    I would rank it by a mixture of skill, achievements, heart, and how he would do against other Greats.

    How many big show's you can knock out.
    How far you get on dancing with the stars.
    How many reality tv shows you star in.
    How many 100$ bills you can counterfeit.
