    You have to go with Ray on this one. I would love to say Armstrong but Ray did spank him. Of that list I would say

    1 Robinson
    2 Armstrong
    3 Ali
    4 Louis
    Not really sure that the others should be this high. I would have Jones in my top 15-20 but not in the top 10.

    1 - Sam Langford
    2 - Sugar Ray Robinson
    3 - Henry Armstrong
    4 - Harry Greb
    -----------------------
    5 - Ezzard Charles
    6 - Mickey Walker
    7 - Willie Pep
    -----------------------
    8 - Archie Moore
    9 - Roberto Duran
    10-Bob Fitzsimmons

    I think only the top four have a real case.

    I think a sensible case can be made for Pep.

    The fact that he failed to move up in weight, quit in a title fight and supossedly threw a title fight hurt him though.
