    Nice list, but Pacquiao is the GOAT.

    Also, just because you're a noob doesn't mean you have to announce it in your username as well.

    I think you're really 50 something. And a virgin.

    Good list but Pacman needs to be in top 10.

    Usyk should be number 1 as well

    to be honest with you aside from canelo and manny i don't think any current boxers make it on here. pacquiao is really good but he is not top 10.

    Why not?
    8 weight world champion, Welterweight belt holder at the age of 40. Hes fighting 3-4 weight classes above his natural weight. He's a small man, always fighting bigger men.

    I can't see how Ali can be rated over Pacman. I'm not even a fan of Manny, I am just amazed by what he has achieved in the sport

    A lot of people fall into the trap of nostalgia, Pacquiao will be regarded as one of the top 5 ever in 10-15 years time

    Canelo doesnt deserve to be in top 50.
    Too many question marks on his resume

    yeah, that's fair. question is what does canelo have to do to get himself on this list? i may be wrong here but i think if he beats plant that's five titles he'll have at the same time

    Whatever list you're putting Canelo on, he has to be at least 5 places below Golovkin.
