A 14-year old fan's terribly inaccurate top 50 list

hello everyone! i am a 14-year old fan who is just getting into boxing. i've done a decent amount of research into it, and i've compiled my opinion list of the top 50 boxers ever, ranked. please note that a lot of this is probably not going to be very good or accurate, since i'm kinda new to this. every single boxer on my list fought before i was born lol.

it definitely needs much work, so i am open to and encourage suggestions and constructive criticism from you all. i tried my best, so i hope you like it. happy boxing to all!

 

as a matter of fact, a previous list i made on reddit (my first draft) had vitali on it, but a lot of people were telling me he shouldn't be on there. i replaced like 4 people in this new one i made, in my old one tiger, sanchez, canelo and calzaghe were not included.

 

thank you sir. any suggestions or criticisms?

 

thank you very much! fitzsimmons was definitely someone i looked at, i'll definitely see what i can do there. with greb, my first list (it's on reddit) ogt a lot of flack for how high i ranked older boxers, so i was being a little cautious there- maybe too cautious in greb's case. i'll likely bump him up a few spots.

 

those were definitely two that had me tugging my hair out a bit lol. my previous list was a little biased towards older boxers, so i was trying to be cautious there, the same thing seems to have happened with harry greb. i'll definitely see what i can do.

 

thank you very much! yes, my age is true. studying the oldtimers is basically what i do for all sports, so you're right, i should love it here.

 

thank you very much. personally i always rated jersey joe more than his namesake because barbados lost to so many other fighters of his time, plus the hand thing. this is the first time anyone so far has mentioned spinks, so i'll look into that. i agree with you on the active fighters thing but i was getting flack for bias towards older boxers on the first list i made (it's on reddit) so i threw canelo in there

 

i follow boxing (although not really modern boxing that much, i prefer the oldies), baseball, football, basketball, soccer, wwe. i'm pretty hardcore on all of them, i'm just a sports buff in general imo. thanks for the compliment!
