    Whitaker, Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler should be in the top ten in my opinion

    Salvador Sanchez, Thomas Hearns, Wilfred Benitez and many others are rated way to low

    also loads of fighters that should of made the list McCallum, Lewis, Barrera, Mayweather Jr, Azumah Nelson and many more should of made the top 100

    Sugars list has got too many fighters rated either too high or too low, a terrible list in my opinion .

    {also just so you know I base a huge amount on Hd 2 Hd}

    Picking The Top 100 fighters is always a subjective task but Sugar Ray Leonard not being in the top 20 ranked in this list is criminal!!

    How the **** is George Foreman above Alexis Arguello? How is Arguello so low in general, and how is Ezzard Charles not in the top ten? Sugar is a wanker.

    Its a poor list and no love mostly for any modern day fighters. No love what so ever.

    Im not a huge Whitaker fan but common Bert 48 WTF. He is top 25.

    first of all : i am not saying i agree with bert sugar's list, but.......
    saying that sugar ray leonard should be in the top 10 is ridicilous. i think almost everyone here and al boxing experts worldwide makes a top 10 without ray leonard (and marvin hagler)

    The list is strange I'm a big Chavez fan but him at 17 and then Whitaker at 48. Cerdan over Charles, he seems to not regard resume's very highly judging by his very high placing of Dempsey and Marciano.

    I don't agree with the list but you guys underrate Dempsey too much, Dempsey was God to my father who was born in 1915, Dempsey is one of the greatest of all time a true warrior and fighting machine. I would love to have seen him let loose on a Klitschko.

    Swap Ali with Armstrong & thats my exact top 3....
    Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Alexis Arguello, Pernell Whitaker, Roy Jones jr & Tommy Hearns are too low....
    Morales, Mayweather & Barrera should make the list....

    There`s more but I`ll stop there.

    The list isnt great but of all the things to pick out in that list, you pick Willie Pep at no3 ?

    Mesmerising.

    The majority have Pep as the no1 FWT of all time.

    Ali aint unanimous as the no1 HWT
    Charles aint unanimous as the no1 LHWT
    Duran aint unanimous as the no1 LWT

    Everything is arguable if you want to go that route, most have Pep as the best ever FWT & most have Pep in their top 10 p4p, very strange choice to choose Pep from that list as the main thing wrong, very strange indeed IMO.
