    Incredible. What a genuinely awful list.

    It's the kind of list you would expect from a 14 year old who has just started browsing the Classic forum.

    You would think ESPN could afford a much more reputable and well-informed boxing writer.

    They should have just made a thread on ESB and there would be an abundance of more knowledgable boxing fans to chose from.

    I think Jones should be a lil bit higher, and where's the guy that KO both MAB and Erick Moralles?

    Tyson is lucky to have made the list. He is as overrated and as hyped as they come. He beat not a top skilled heavyweight in their prime- not one... he lost to all the RECENT great ones he faced BY kO and was KO'd by Buster Douglas--- as MATTER OF FACT HE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE LIST

    Greb needs to be top 4
    Bob Fitzsimmons needs to be top 15
    Jeffries needs to be here too.

    Pryor is a turd burglar but his ommision renders the list useless.

    I Barrera and Morales made the list, Sanchez needs to
    De La Hoya should be lower, if not off the list completely
    Lennox Lewis accomplished more than Tyson in his career
    Harry Greb needs to be top 10 at least...probably top 4 or 5
    Jack Dempsey could be lower, but I never argued with anybody who put him top 10
    Whitaker needs to be higher
    Hagler needs to be higer
    Bob Fitzsimmons...
    Monzon is way too low

    Are you suggesting he should be higher?

    I personally think he is lucky to be even in that list.
