    I think that tv footage starts getting to be decent quality around this time. we all know Willie Pep,SRR,Joe Louis,Benny leonard etc were ATGs but its mostly on their records and not witnessing it for ourselves. There is decent footage but its nothing like today where you really get in on the action. so who's the top 10?

    Ali
    Duran
    SRL
    Hagler
    Hearns
    Barrera
    Chavez
    Floyd jr
    Frazer
    Pacman

    No order to this, just a list of favourites

    Clearly nothing wrong with the list but I'd swapping Frazier out for Lewis

    Pretty good list but RJJ needs to be included in that list as should whitaker, and if there's to be another heavyweight not named Ali who should probably be in that list it would be Holyfield, based on both his heavy and his cruiserweight record, or Holmes or Lewis.

    P4P, I'd pick Holyfield over both.

    Hopkins has to be pretty close to making that list too.

    If this is a p4p list than Lewis is too big to be included in this list and personally when I'd give the edge to Holyfield if his cruiserweight accomplishments are factored in.

    I dont rate Lewis and Holyfield can't replace anyone in my 10
