    Don't agree with this list. Whitaker is too low. Wlad is way too low.

    The list only takes into account Whitaker's final 21 fights.

    Of which he went 18 and 3.

    If that's the case Holyfield is 21-10-2-1 and that gets him into the top ten it's off

    Holyfield did get some big wins though after 1990 (Douglas, Foreman, Holmes, Bowe, Tyson, etc)

    Oscar lost nearly all his big fights. Why should he be no 1.

    I don't understand or care about such lists, for me it's only about talent & credibility, who is better than who (though there might well be little between most of them), and on that note...

    Holy
    JCC
    PBF
    RJJ
    ODH
    Whitaker
    Barrerra
    Carbajal
    LL
    Pac
    Felix

    would lead the group, mix them into the order you experts would place them, but for me Achievement based lists are all wrong.

    who are the Better Fighters Lists are more accurate and honest to the sport.

    Who's done this list, Tris Dixon? I thought it looked reasonable until I saw James Toney was ranked 20th. Yes, James Toney is ranked below both Klitschko brothers and Micheal Carbajal! Lennox Lewis is also too highly rated. Far too highly.
