    In order from highest to least highest:

    Greb
    Langford
    Armstrong
    Walker
    Duran
    Pacquiao

    There's no need to specify where exactly you'd rank them on a complete list of ATGs (though feel free to provide that info if you've ever made such a list)... just rank them in comparison to one another.

    Myself, I rank them in the order that you see above. I consider Greb to be one of the 2 best fighters of all time (alongside SRR), Langford just behind them as the 3rd best, Armstrong around 4-5 (interchangeable w/ Charles), Walker #6, Duran #8 (one spot behind Ali), & Pacquiao #9.

    Your top 12 isn't all that dissimilar from mine, except I would swap the general places of Walker & Fitz w/ one another.
