a 14-year old fan's terribly inaccurate top 50 (also posted in classic boxing forum)

A boxer who won an Olympic gold, he didn't live up to expectations in the pros.

Doesn't have to be boxing. Though if you give it a go, best of luck.

 

Chavez sr under Mayweather Jr trash list lol jk

 

Welcome to the site. Good list and look forward to your input on here.

 

@George Crowcroft is this your brother? Jk.

Anyways, well done. There are several things I disagree with but It takes tremendous effort to build a list like this. To me personally even making a top20 all time HW rankings feels tiresome.

Ali being a little too high is the first thing that catches attention. Lewis is definetly way too high, as is Marciano. I would probably rank Holyfield ahead of them p4p. And Calzaghe/Canelo have no business being where they are.

 

It's your list kid. If you are 14 is pretty damn good one.

The list will change and evolve as you realise how the sport is, how it works, and how corrupt it can be. Sadly.

Also, any list you make has to take account of drugs cheats. Drugs cheats don't deserve to be on pedestals. So take out Roid Jones out of there and Canelo CLEN eater. That's always a good start.

Oh and Golovkin has to be on there. Greatest middleweight since Hagler? Drop some of the old timers, overrated as hell.

 

Don't worry about Safin. He's a non entity at this point. Just ignore him and he'll go away

 

What a load of nonsense. That means you'd have to take out 90% of the boxers on this list.

 

You're making it more and more obvious all of the time.

@Aydamn is @Vegan Beast is @MarkusFlorez99

 

no u.

 

Name me boxers who have tested positive?
I am waiting.
It's not 90% you utter prat.

 

You clearly don't have a clue about anti-doping policy and governance; its ineffectiveness coupled with its corruption.

Lance Armstrong was the most tested athlete in history, and only once did he flag up a positive test, which was swiftly swept under the carpet.

Keep living in cuckoo land, bud.

 

Did answer my questions. Name me the current boxers who have tested positive? Don't want to hear about Lance Armstrong.

 

Nice list, keep up enjoying boxing
I don't have the knowledge to comment on all names, however:
-Floyd Patterson (who I admire much) is too high imo. I would have him lower than Pernell foot example, likely out of a top 50
--props for putting Tunney so high and higher than Dempsey. His accomplishments are underrated imo
-I would put Roy a bit higher

Cheers
