Better resume: Benny Leonard or Archie Moore

I remember making a thread a while ago that was about the greatest boxer to not have a great past prime win and Benny Leonard seemed to be the agreed upon answer. It is fascinating that rival for the number 6 is arguably the boxer with the greatest longevity in the history of the sport.

 

My top 5 are:
1. SRR
2. Greb
3. Armstrong
4. Langford
5. Duran

Moore for me.

 

Cause he was a small man who won titles far above his weight.

 

He's top 10 too.

 

How is Charles above Duran, if you don't mind me asking.

 

He's not. Did you mean to quote someone else ?

 

Sorry, I just got the names back to front. How is Duran above Charles.

 

Him beating up bigger men and winning in higher weight classes impresses me more.
But I have no problem if someone puts Charles ahead, they are close.
What is not up for debate however, at least for me, is the top 3: SRR, Greb and Armstrong.
One might put Greb 1st, but without footage I can never do that. SRR looks too damn good on the eye test.

 

I agree.
