    My p4p ATG list has Ali at 7 and Leonard at 8. Does anyone strongly disagree with this, and why?

    You might make an argument evolving around Leonard´s multi-weight credentials but I doubt anyone will strongly disagree.

    btw. IMO both are too high anyway.

    It would be good to know who you are putting above and below them.

    u r now officially n idiot .

    only Stevie G (Angelo Dundee's son) , Bokaj (Angelo Dundee's own account here at ESB now ran on low flame by some1 else) and possibly O'Riray may agree with u . y didn't u post it in d general , maybe there it would have received its deserved amount of appreciation .

    I think it is "reasonable", but in my own opinion :

    #8 is simply too high for Ray Leonard.

    Ali should definitely be above him :good


    I would have thought Joe Louis and Benny Leonard are clearly top 10 worthy.

    I would have Leonard above Ali but, if I were to ever compile such a list, I can't see either of them being in my top 25 or 30.

    "This message is hidden because frankenfrank is on your ignore list. "

    I clicked to view the post and it was about the same level of absurdity I expected.

    Dethroning Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Benitez as reigning champions is something that for me puts him right up there with Ali and I have Ali above Louis. Benny is my number 11 so he's very close to my top ten list.

    I couldn't figure out a way for them to be that low. I literally could not find a way for that to make sense for me. Ali is one of only a couple guys that I've seen that at his best I wouldn't favor anyone over him in his division ever.
