When you factor in the circumstances for Barrera going into that fight, it's obvious what kind of mental and physical state he was in, and the...

I'll get back to you as well Popkins, I just don't have much more time on this computer so I'd rather not get into much detail. I don't think our...
I thought it was a rather easy victory, with Hopkins winning 3 rounds at most when Jones decided to coast during the latter stages. An easy...
Noone in the history of the sport was more skilled than Napoles "by a landslide", if even at all. He was about as well rounded, mentally sound and...
I don't really disagree with much of this, outside of the bit about Jones being in his prime. He was in his physical prime, just like Hopkins was,...

Both guys beat 4 or 5 HOF caliber fighters. Roy fought two of them (better fighters than Pacquiao ever faced, at that) at a better stage of their...
I'm not so sure. Barbados Joe was a 5'1 Welterweight that routinely KO'd the best Heavyweights in the world. I don't think you can get a much...
I certainly wouldn't say Pacquiao's too low. In fact I may have been jumping the gun by placing him in the top 50. He's yet to even retire from...
I think it's a fine ranking for him, the highest I've ever had him actually. A lot of the fighters would seem low on first glance. If you believe...
Marciano would crack the top 75, Holmes might be a bit further down the list as well. Jack Johnson is the only other HW I'd have in a top 100,...
I judge fighters on the strength of their accomplishments against quality fighters on an era by era basis. I lend credence to ability only when...
I have Charles at #6 currently as well. **** it, here's my list as of this moment (though it's constantly changing the more I learn, so nothing is...
