    What do you mean by "pure boxers"?

    Some of the people on that list weren't pure boxers.

    My suggestion is for you to define what you mean by "pure boxer". Otherwise, I'm never going to understand how Ketchel, Pep, Marciano and Leonard are on the same list.

    Yea I gues its a bit subjective. Just boxers who didnt depend on power all the time and used defense more often as a means of offense in a sense.

    With that being said How Could I FOrget B-Hop?

    List makes no sense to me.

    You're basically making a list of the 'best boxers of all time'. Not sure where "pure" factors in here.

    Whats your definition of a 'pure boxer'

    Mine would be for example, Pernell Whittaker...certainly NOT Rocky Marciano or Julio Cesar Chavez.

    Fighters like Hagler, Felix Trinidad were 'boxer/punchers' were they not?

    See how he's holding his right hand? He's ready to punch you for forgetting him too.

    Well with all due respect, if those are your criteria i don't see how Marciano and Ketchel can be on your list. And i've hardly ever seen footage of Walker, but i thought he was more of a brawler too.

    Also, if you're putting Archie Moore on the list, then Ezzard Charles who beat the stuffing out of him 3 times should be on it too.
