    I see what you're saying mate, we all have the right to rank them as we see fit. :thumbsup

    One point, I think if boxers today fought 30 times a year we'd be willing to give them some leeway if they weren't all against the cream of the crop.

    Read this thread title then read the thread title of the other popular thread atop the forum right now; "Froch 'unless Calzaghe apologizes i'm fighting him on the street."

    Well, you have your answer. There have been many.

    Amid Khan fights twice a year and he gets none.hes a **** house.fighters back then have to commended for toughness bravery and willingness to get the living **** knocked out of them for meagre pay days,srr as I say I won't say he is the greatest or he isn't,but 200 wins doesn't make it impossible to surpass when taken into consideration the vast majority he faced.he beat some incredible fighters,but a fighter who was limited and tough in them days is called great whereas a fighter that is a prime athlete these days,trains 3 months to get in perfect condition and has maybe a loss in his career to another top fighter isn't classed as a great win.
    Robinson was a complete fighter is what I'm trying to say in an era where there where no other complete fighters more or less

    Ha that's the point,the greatest fighters are set in stone,the brainwash is in and can't go against it.

    I just think we're coming at it from different places and are very unlikely to make much more progress. I'm not brainwashed, I've formed my own opinions over many years. You're more than welcome to have yours and I will respect it :thumbsup

    I just don't want to spend a lot of time crafting a response when I doubt we are likely to come together on this and then end up in a long argument where I'm being called nostalgic or brainwashed. Everyone ranks boxers based off of a different criteria and everyone is entitled to their own list and criteria as long as they are consistent in their reasoning. I doubt anything either one of us says about this will make the other budge much but I'll give you one good attempt at a response to this question when I get home and then I'm probably done with it. Nothing against you, mate, I just don't want to get dragged into a discussion that doesn't end up going anywhere.

    I would have given you my reasoning once I got back to my computer as I told you previously, but instead you choose to mug me off in the interim because you can't wait 20 minutes. Now I check out a few other threads and see you're busy trying to get a rise out of plenty of other posters. If that's what gives you your kicks then enjoy, I won't be indulging you though.

    If u think I will lose a wink of sleep over no reply from u,u r seriously mistaken.i'll have the crack on other topics mainly taking the mik but usually with substance behind it.if not humour.but of everything I have said u can't give me an answer.a fighter now would be castrated for fighting anywhere near the inferior opposition of years gone by yet fighters of years gone by are looked on in awe because of the 100 plus victories.if floyd manny etc fought 100 part time fighters on top of the ones in the elite class they have do u see them losing anymore ??
    Not baiting m8 just stating
