Boxings Mount Rushmoore

Good thread.

Greb. Because no one can really dispute his being the greatest fighter since the onset of the modern era. And only Langford has any standing as a rival if you go back further.

Robinson. Because he is the greatest fighter anyone alive as ever seen. Because he is Ali's father and "master" and "idol." Because his fuscia cadillac, entourage, and celebrity style rivalled anyone since and it was only exceeded by his level of ring generalship.

Duran. Because He is the greatest Latin fighter who ever lived and everyone from Chavez to Roger Mayweather admit this and becaues the hispanics are the major demographic carrying the sport and their loyalty should be represented.

Pacquiao. This may take a few years, but this fighter stands ready to launch himself into the kind of greatness that will shake up the elites in the p4p ATG rankings. Also because he is the greatest Asian fighter who ever lived and his international celebrity in the internet age is second-to-none.

I also like it because you have sons of the primary four races on the planet represented -European, African, Hispanic/Indian, and Asian. Eras are well-represented too -1910s-20s, 1940-60s, ~1970s-1990s, 21st century.
