Good list. How long did it take you to make that list?

 

ricardo lopez deserves a mention i dont know about top 50 thoe

 

I took a couple weeks like 5 years ago and I've been making additions/subtractions/changes ever since(depending on current fighters moving up as well as me gaining more knowledge of certain past fighters and rating them higher or lower based on that). But in reality it took 10+ years of reading a ton of boxing books and watching everything there is to watch on past fighters to be able to make it in the first place.

 

I honestly wouldn't have him top 50....if i made a top 100 i'm guessing he'd be close to cracking top 75

 

I generally consider my top 50 I have typed up as my "ATG's", but it probably includes 60-70 fighters.

 

Aaron Pryor?

Good list though.

 

Holmes, Foster and Wilde got in but not Harada, Conn and Gavilan? Arg. Grinds my gears, dude.
