    burley? Too crude a fighter. Ray Leonard instead of Benny Leonard, the great jewish lightweight, greatest of all times? How incredibly stupid! Walker too high.

    I cant belive you guys are claiming Walker is too high?? This is a POUND FOR POUND list, and the last time I check there were not too many welterweights beating top ten heavyweight contenders. And getting rank into the top 4 heavyweights at that.

    Walker is a proven pound for pounder imo.

    Ali & Louis should make the list & its good to see srl on the list as he was the best of the 80s.

    I like the inclusion of Walker too. It was a nice surprise when I saw it.

    Burley has to be one of the most overrated fighters of recent years.

    Walker is a hard one to judge for though he was excellent over many weight divisions and performed well against guys much bigger than him, he also showed weaknesses at his best weight and could be outboxed... kinda like Griffith really, though Walker did well over more weight classes.

    It's acually a painting. Good ain't it? I love wolves. I'm going to get a tattoo of one on my arm... I know the one I want but I've lost the photograph of it. Don't want anything vicious, not one of those 'look at me I'm hard' tattoos. The one I like is a side-on view of a wolf's head, nose pointed down slightly, the neck tapering off at the bottom, looks very elegant and regal. It's made up of separated black lines and shapes, quite stylish actually.

    A painting?. Looks more like a photograph. If I was going for a tattoo it would be high up the arm, so when wearing a T-shirt it doesn't show. Ive always found tattoos incredibly sexy on women, must confess.

    Good luck. Mind take an anadin beforehand to sooth the pain.

    A good list but Leonard is more a top twentier than top tenner.

    Perhaps both should be above the top 5.

    Burley is overhyped. He's not worth crying over.
