My reasons might not apply, as you may see the H2H going differently, or differ on criteria, but: 1. Head to Head, I see it as a bit of a 50:50....
I'd also have Choynski in there :)
Great list. Although I would always have Spinks and Foster closer together, for better or for worse.
I always like your lists. Making lists is hard work. Depending on how much stock you place on h2h over accomplishments, I feel that a 25 year old...
Greb Monzon Robinson Hagler Ketchel Fitzsimmons Langford Walker Burley Steele LaMotta Hopkins Tiger T Ryan Gibbons
I think he was an EX-con by 1995
These are the only fighters I have above Barney Ross: Robinson Langford Greb Armstrong Ali Fitzsimmons Gans Pep Charles Duran B Leonard Louis...
1946-1996? Monzon at somewhere around number 10 sounds good to me.
That version of Ali: Ali UD over Frazier. Ali UD over Norton. Ali TKO11 over Foreman. Just my two cents.
Liston vs Foreman Louis vs Tyson Holyfield vs Frazier Dempsey vs Marciano Jeffries vs Sullivan
Hagler vs Ketchel Greb vs Fitzsimmons Langford vs Walker LaMotta vs Tiger Zale vs Golovkin
No, not a great gap. I probably have Ross a tier above though. Many would rate him within the top ten of his best (deep) weight class, all time....
14 places apart for me (although my list constantly changes): 17. Ross 18. Moore 19. Ketchel 20. Burley 21. Jofre 22. Whitaker 23. Monzon 24....
I'll put a cat amongst the pigeons (because I've had a few beverages)... I have Uysk at number 20!
I haven't edited it recently, but I don't have Schmeling and Usyk too far apart on my ATG Cruiser list: 13. Schmeling 14. Corbett 15. Jackson 16....
