Emanuel Steward’s Top-Ten Greatest Fighters Of All-Time

Only thing I could find to support OP is from April 28, 2012

He was clearly trolling when he didn't include Zaggers :bart

 

Jorge Linares was his #1

 

Look at Hearns listing Duran as well always great to hear how fighters have so much respect for each other

 

I will try to find the link, but Iran Barkley had his top ten and he said things like:

Duran: Tough Mother ****er. Hurt my hand hitting that *******.

Descriptions of that nature: Very candid from Barkley

 

I miss Emanuel. Such a great trainer, great commentator and great person all around.

 

Love Manny Steward, but that list is horrible:-(.

 

I'm surprised Steward didn't have Tommy on the list and Tommy putting himself at #3 is priceless. Would have thought he would have put Hagler ahead of Duran but I'm glad he didn't. Say one thing about Hearn's he's living in the present that's for sure, no one who fought before the '60's made his list.

 

I would love to read that :good

 

Foreman is honestly a surprise to me

 

Here is an "On the Ropes" were he says Hagler was the best MW ever, and he favors Pacquiao over Duran at LW and at WW: http://www.boxing247.com/weblog/news.php?p=27333&more=1

Here he is rating Ali, Louis and Foreman as the top 3 heavyweights.

can't believe he didn't put on Sugar Ray Leonard if he put Hagler on that ... huh.

 

agreed, half those fighters aren't top 50 for god sakes

 

His list of heavyweights was pretty solid. Ali, Louis, Foreman, Holmes and Lewis, that's pretty solid, especially H2H
