What does your top 10 of all time look like?

Robinson
Armstrong
Greb
Fitz
Langford

Unsure after that.

 

this is s more than what was asked for and

Mine changes all the time, but right this second I am going to go with the following (in groups)
Group 1 - Fighters who pretty much proved they were the best of 2 eras -
1. Ali
2. Louis
3. Johnson

Fighters who were untouchable in their own era in their prime and dominated for a lengthy period -
4. Marciano
5. Jeffries
6. Sullivan
7. Holmes

Fighters who seemed invincible in their time, but either didnt maintain that form for as long as the above fighters, or were beaten close to (or what seems like close to) their prime.
8. Foreman
9. Tyson
10. Liston
11. Lewis
12. Fitzsimmons

Fighters who rose to the top but did not really stick around long enough to prove whether or they can hang with the fighters above them and are given the benefit of the doubt on question marks.

13. Bowe
14. Tunney

Fighters who were very, very good fighters and who were quite likely the best of their eras, but couldnt quite do enough to establish themselves as premier fighters of their era (often through no fault of their own).

15. Holyfield
16. Jackson
17. Baer
18. Langford
19. Wills
20. Corbett
21. Willard
22. T Sharkey

Great fighters who couldnt quite top their era but were very close to the standards of others that did.
23. Charles
24. Walcott
25. Sharkey
26. McVey
27. Jeanette
28. Norton
29. Schmelling
30. Paterson
31. Johansen
32. Moore
33. Carnera
34. Burns

Fighters who rose to the top but werent quite up there with the class of the very best fighters of their era even though they were capable of beating them.
35. M Spinks
36. Braddock
37. Sharkey
38. Moorer
39. Douglas
40. Hart
41. Choynski
42. Braddock

It is amazing when comparing what fighters achieved across each era, just how similar most of the eras actually are.

 

Robinson
Armstrong
Louis
Ali
Pep
Charles
Duran
Greb
Moore
Monzon
Saddler
Leonard
Leonard
Tunney
Hagler
Whitaker
Johnson
Langford
Fitzsimmons

Uh, top 19, there you go...

 

Pretty similar to mine w/ the order only varying slightly...

01 SRR
02 Greb
03 Armstrong
04 Langford
05 Fitz
06 Charles
07 B. Leonard
08 Pep
09 Louis
10 Ali
11 Moore
12 Duran

 

I don't think this was meant as a hw list?

I love lists like this, though all (Including mine) have holes to poke in them...

Poor unrecognized Smokin' Joe

Does Tunney deserve to be 21 spots over Spinks...thier top wins are comprable but neither is seperated by much outside of that...surely a post prime KO loss to tyson (I know Tyson would beat a prime version as well but that is irrelevant) can't cause that much seperation.

 

Number 43?

He was their, not sure what happened, must have got eliminated in the numbering somehow. I think i had him in the Foreman - Fitzsimmons group. In his prime he was never beaten (including a win over ali) but i think it fair to say that at his best Foreman and Ali were better figthers despite his win over a close to prime but not prime ali. I would think that this gives him the number 13 spot, very similar to Fitzsimmons. Fitz dominated his era and was unbeatable until he got old, including the win over corbett (a little like the Ali of his era) and Jeffries (a little like the Foreman of his era). But unlike Frazier, Fitz has to rate over Corbett and i think that he put up a much better fight against the Jeffries than Frazier did against Foreman.

Also, the klitchskos were not ranked due to them being still active. But i suppose they are really starting to move somewhere near this same group. Not really proved to be in the class of Lennox, but are competely dominating the rest (other than their brother of course). I think we will be able to rank them much better in 10 years when we know how good some of their recent contenders really are.

 

1.) Robinson
2.) Greb
3.) Armstrong
4.) Charles
5.) Fitzsimmons
6.) Langford
7.) Burley
8.) Pep
9.) Benny Leonard
10.) Ross
