Do you guys agree with this "Top 50 Greatest Boxer Of All Time" list?

No GOAT Primo? No likey.

 

**** list.

 

He's back NEW CHANNEL - YouTube

You're right his rankings tend to be based on "the older, the better" he makes some good points but I'd definitely have disagreements with him.


Duran and Mickey Walker in the 30s?????

6. Jack Britton ????
5. Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom ????

 

It's never easy to make a ranking, especially the p4p one, and obviously there will always be different opinions. But in this ranking I see some things that seem so strange that they go beyond opinions. For example I don't see Barney Ross and Gene Tunney and I think that both deserve to be in this ranking more than others who are there.

 

Agreed, there's a lot of weird stuff going on in it. His main criticism of Duran seems to be he was never "lineal" or "unified" until his fight with DeJesus in 78, so what?

 

And in fact this is another strange thing.

 

Agreed - I was looking for Jofre and don't recall seeing him and he's arguably top 20.

 

Right, another strange thing is the lack of Jofre. I was saying that there are several strange things in this ranking.

 

Laughably bad

 

No Sugar Ray Leonard, no Arguello, no Cervantes, oh man......

 

Who has anywhere near the same list anyway?

 

Th

Thats a great list.

I wish I could see video of Sam Langford fighting...

I read the book on Langford and it provides a great insight into his fights but seeing and reading is not the same!
ats a

 

No Hagler, Monzon, Chavez, Sanchez ...

 

The person that made that list must have been high.

 

I won’t go through the whole list but picking out one thing, I’m surprised anyone would rank Hearns that low.
