    Since most of the world are in lockdown, i come up with this idea to determine the 50 greatest boxers. Everyday we will create a poll to determine the ranking of ATG boxers.
    Day 1 we will have 5 names for initial selection and the winner of the poll will be ranked #1.
    Day 2, the remaining 4 names and an additional name will be polled to determine ranked #2
    Day 3, the remaining 4 names and an additional name will be polled to determine ranked #3

    Poll closes in 24 hours and you can use the comment box to put/nominate which boxer you would want to be put in the choices in the next day.
    We will do this until Day 50 wherein we will now have the list of 50 Greatest Boxers in the last 50 years.

    The criteria is simple, boxers qualify so long as they are rated by Ring Magazine from 1970 until today
    https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine's_Annual_Ratings

    By voting, you can determine your own criteria on what accounts to be Great. We are judging each choices on their entire professional career. So for Muhammad Ali, it is from 1960 to 1981.


    Ranked 1: Muhammad Ali - 12 votes - 57%
    Ranked 2:

    Voted for Duran. I would suggest adding Hagler, Holyfield, JCC, or Pernell Whitaker next.

    I have Duran at no. 1 out of that list because of the time period (1970 onwards). If it included Ali's 60s work, he'd be higher.
