https://boxrec.com/en/ratings?r[role]=box-pro&r[sex]=M&r[status]=&r[division]=&r[country]=&r_go=&offset=0 Is this list accurate ? I think it's missing Usyk in the top 3, other than that I completely agree with this list
Young Corbett III at 25 over SRL, Lennox Lewis, Barney Ross? Surely they used an AI algorithm to come up with such nonsense.
No. Greb , SRR, Armstrong, Benny Leonard I'm fine with.. & Mclarnin I'd have top 15/20.. but I'd have (along with the 4 mentioned above) Langford, Charles, Fitz, Ross, Walker & Moore/Tunney as my top 10. There are some good mentions there and fighters that don't get enough credit such as the aforementioned Mclarnin & Young Corbett III who was is one of THE great southpaws... but Floyd at 3? Nah..
Ross maybe not but LL yes.. YC III was an exceptional fighter... He jumped up to MW from WW & beat Conn, Walker , Apostoli & Lesnevich .. that's an insane set of wins.. let alone his WW work where he beat great fighters like Ceferino Garcia, Jack Thompson & Jackie Fields... all twice! There's multiple HOFers there.. & he was just 5'7... a natural WW .. 155 fights, 12 losses... come on.. that's an exceptional career. Better than Lewis' who more often than not had a size advantage and fought fighters past their best.
