The boxers are currently ordered in terms of what round they were in the 20 questions thread. How would you order them p4p all time? I feel like this is a genuine challenge because these are guys you don't really think of together. I'm really curious to see what your lists look like. If a top 15 is too much I would appreciate hearing who you think the top 3 is.
Those names cover basically entire history of boxing under Queensberry Rules. I think there's a handful of people capable of ranking them accordingly. I can do the 5 whose career I'm largely familiar with: Glen Johnson > Vic Darchinyan > Oscar Larios > Sirimongkol Singmanasak > Robbie Peden.
You guys all have a wide range of knowledge. Any of you up to the task? @McGrain @George Crowcroft @Greg Price99 @Saintpat @IntentionalButt
I wouldn't be able to do that off the top of my head, no. I could probably sit down and work with it but it would be a lot of effort I think.
There are several I’m not familiar with and would have to research — and some with whom. I am familiar I’d need to take a harder look to rank. Busy time of year for me with work to do that so I’m going to have to pass. It’s quite an eclectic mix, I will say.
Wow mate, it would take me dozens of hours to rank these guys as confidently as I did with my divisional all time top 20's. Top of my head stab at a top 3, in no order, would be Sugar Ramos, Beau Jack and Tommy Burns, with an HM for Vic Darchinyan.
Agree on your top three but (without researching everyone) the other two I had in the upper tier would be Marvin Camel and Glen Johnson — Camel was a lovely fighter to watch and had a lot of pride for his Native American tribe, which treated him like a hero, and Glen was just a tough-as-nails blue-collar guy who had great mental toughness as I recall him.
