    He would probably beat Dariusz quite easily.Likewise with Prince Charles williams, Andries, Hill and co.

    Tarver would be ran right of the ring.

    The others are tougher closer fights and harder to gauge.He would be a stern test for all of them though, i am sure.

    Ricardo Lopez
    Lennox Lewis

    Jersey Joe Walcott, Sam McVey, Battling Siki, Jack Non-Pareil Dempsey, and Floyd Patterson are all borderline.

    Maybe a top 200 would be better!

    The highlighted 11 boxers are in my top 100, see 'Top 400 All Time Greats' thread, considering most of my highlighted boxers are at the top of the sheet i wonder if this list is in order,with Ricardo Lopez being #101 and Lennox Lewis #102 etc,ect ???
    The other 89 boxers in my top 100 are also in sweet_scientists top 100,
    so we are singing from the same hymn sheet. {so it seems}

    Those who were in my list are highlighted green.

    I should say that I am not too familiar with every single name on the list though.



    Sweetscientist, I bow to your superior knowledge, but I must say I find it very strange that you would not have Mike McCallum in your top 100. I view him as a top 70 fighter, I think he has an excellent resume and was a great fighter for a long time. I really think he deserves to be in any top 100. I would very much like to know why you disagree.

    Of the others that I have in my list, I must also register shock that Holman Williams doesn't make it into yours.

    I don't have a top 100, so not all of those picks are made with certainty, but I think the highlighted ones would make mine.
