Boxing’s 25 Best Over The Last 25 Years (link)

Oscar deserves to be on the list but not top 5 or 10 for that matter. Also McCallum is criminally underrated on that list.

 

1.Pea
2.RJJ
3.PBF
4.Holy
5.JCC
6.Pac
7.Hopkins
8.McCallum
9.Finito Lopez
10.Erik Morales & Toney

Just missed Calzaghe and Lewis

 

Having Calzaghe in the same tier as Morales and Barrera is insulting to the two greatest Mexican fighters since Julio Cesar Chavez, Bill. :verysad Joe Calzaghe would probably come in at 20 on my list...and I'm being generous.

 

I rank both ahead of Calzaghe but no point in doing a tier thing if I end up with about 6 tiers for a 10 man list .... Joe is a great fighter, underrated on ESB, not a lot between he & Hopkins & I dont think there is an entire tier between the Mexicans & B-Hop.

 

Your comedy gold tonight mate.

 

Oscar has some great wins, look them up

Floyd is a lot more consistent than Evander. Castillo/Corrales is just as good a win as Bowe although he didnt loose to them twice and a past it Oscar is probably as good a win as a past it post prison Tyson. However Floyd is undefeated.

 

While Im on a roll..... I rank Morales & Barrera higher than Hopkins.

I should do stand-up eh, Addie ?

 

Bernard Hopkins isn't undefeated because he dared to be great, fighting much better opposition than that of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

...No.

 

Castillo/Corrales dominated their division better than Bowe did :deal

Just because Bowe is a HW and oviously a much bigger name doesnt mean to say he achieved more, in respect to their own weightclass.

 

This is more of a list of the last 15 years, not the last 25. or else Hagler and Hearns and Leonard would be in it. Mayweather is not top 10. This is a list made by a sports person who watches all sports and puts the names he knows in there over who is really good. Mayweather is not better than Lennox. Terrible list. This is just a popularity list.

 

Take away RJJ as I give him a past for that win, your telling me Jermaine Taylor & JCC is that much better opposition to Corrales, Castillo, Judah, Hatton & Hoya? You may have a case for Calzaghe but that still doesnt era the 2 losses to Jermaine.

You critisize Oscar for loosing his biggest fights, at least he won some big fights. Name me an ATG fighter BHop beat at their own weight? he faced 2, RJJ & Calzaghe, he lost to both of them.

 

You keep this **** up & you`ll be ready to replace Mr Dempsey1238 on my signature quote of shame.

Think !

 

Who did you pick to beat Hopkins, Dangerousity. I'll take a wild stab. You expected Tarver, Tito, and Pavlik too didn't you?

 

that is my opinion. Lennox beat Tyson,Holyfield,Mercer,Rudduck and the list goes on and on. Klitchko. He fought them all and beat them all. Mayweather does not have the resume. What are you talking about? I am bringing up facts. Mayweather handpicks his opponents. I don't even rate him as a real ATG yet. He doesn't have the resume.

 

this list is ridiculous. Last 25 years was back to 1984.. who were the top fighters in 1984? Hagler and Hearns. This list is false. This is the last 15 years, and Oscar and Floyd are not top 10 for the last 25 years. Holyfield.Chavez,Pernell on a top list of the last 20 years I will accept. But this list of the past 25 then you are overlooking Hearns and Hagler, even if they were starting to pass thier prime. Hearns still beat Hill in 1991, which is a better win than Mayweather has ever had. See what I mean. People who do these lists do not know boxing. This is a popularity thing about their favorite boxers.
