For my 5,000th post : My Pound-for-Pound Top 50 Fighters of All-Time..

Sweet avatar mate...my wallpaper on my computer..Im reading the book right now.

 

No Tarver??

 

Pacman84, straight out...you irritate me, even when we agree. I don't know what it is, but I find you to be really pompous...but that said, hell of an effort. I'm a tight ass about even giving top 10 lists, so I'm really impressed with the work put in...now if only you were cooler.

 

Good list mate, you've obviously thought long and hard about it. I like that you weren't afraid to throw some of the more recent fighters up in the mix.

 

Before I go and google Barney Ross, tell me something about him. At the risk of sounding ignorant, I really don't know anything about the guy. You've got him sitting directly on top of Fitzsimmons, Moore & Leonard. That's pretty impressive company. I'm very familiar with all of the other names on the list, not so familiar with Ross. Fill me in...

Oh and BTW, great list-thanks for the effort!

 

Ray Robinson? Even if Jones is the best H2H ever, does he really belong above someone like Burley, who could have been just as good in a H2H sense, has a resume that blows his away, and doesn't have devestating knockout losses to his name? I understand what your saying, Jones was mesmerizing in his prime and that is hard to look past, he would not be too far lower on my list than he is on yours.

I think he has more of a case than Carlos Ortiz who is in your top 30. I rate him higher all-time at 135 than Ortiz (although it's one spot), and his success above the weight is more impressive (how many other Lightweights are going to beat Gavilan).

Better resume, success in a higher weight, long undefeated streak, and on his best night Olivares was on the same level overall as Sanchez IMO. Not much in it if it's just one spot over, but still, I have to go with Olivares above Sanchez. (and I'll throw in Luis Rodriguez above both).

Have you seen any footage of Harada PACFAN? He's an awesome fighter to watch. Would certainy make my top 50.

If you haven't seen any, this is him stopping Kingpetch to become Flyweight Champion at age 20 (I believe).

And some rounds of his first fight with the Great Jofre (who was drained from making the weight, but no one else proved themselves superior in the ring to Jofre in 78 fights)
