    No doubt people with disagree but imo in no order Ali, Robinson, Hagler, Whittaker and Leonard. Ive based this on resume, achievments, heart , skill and longevity.

    Benny Leonard and Marvin Hagler are hard to leave off the list, but I didn't want to get into ties to extend the list.

    Pretty good list...Pep is too high, I would actaully switch him with Armstrong, or maybe even move Pep just outside the top 5 to about 7 or 8 and put Leonard in and maybe Greb.

    No Charles, Armstrong, Pep or Greb.:patsch If innovation is so high on your rating why is Tyson so high? What did he bring that Dempsey, Patterson and Dillion didn't besides being bigger.

    1. Robinson
    2. Armstrong
    3. Greb
    4. Charles
    5. Pep

    I would have no problem having Armstrong number 1...Im one of the very few people that feels he was just as great as Robinson. To me they are the clearcut 1 and 2...

    I think that people are putting Pep to high, Im not sure that he should be in the top five.

    Anyone that doesnt have Armstrong in the top five shouldnt be allowed to make one of these lists. Its a joke not to have him in the top five.

    Sounds good to me.Sandy Saddler beat Pep 3 out of 4 including a couple of ko's.Willie won just one decision against Sandy in their 4 fights.Nothing against Willie,he was great,but Sandy was better.Sugar Ray Robinson and Henry Armstrong are definitely one and two.
