Is Ezzard Charles in your top 5 pound-for-pound of all-time?

YES, but I'd like a maybe option

 

Top 25

 

Greb

Robinson

Duran

Langford

Charles


And before anyone says I know who's missing from my top5. And yes, Duran is that high. For me.

 

Armstrong doesnt make my top5 either

 

phew, I normally find that a minority opinion. Who rounds out your top 5?

 

Ditto. My thoughts also,

 

#1 Sammy Langford
#2 Harry Edward Greb
#3 Walker Smith Jr
#4 Henry Jackson Jr
#5 The Cinncinati Cobra

:smile

 

I have him at 6 however i think i may be underrating him, next time i do a list i think i will swap him and duran and put him at 5

 

Exactly what I done.

 

My list will be controversal to some having RJJ and Mayweather there, but I use the literal term of P4P - who would be the best of the best if they were the same weight in their primes, combined with how they performed against the best of the best in their respective divisions. So I see RJJ beating Greb at 160-168 and Mayweather beating Armstrong at 130-140

1. SRR
2. Duran
3. Charles
4. Langford
5. Greb
6. RJJ
7. Pepp
8. Mayweather
9. Ali
10. Armstrong

 

I generally put him at #4, #5, or #6. He, Duran, and Armstrong are more or less interchangeable as far as where I rank them. Charles is a lock for the top 10 as far as I'm concerned and is probably top 5.

 

I have him at 5:
1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Sam Langford
4. Harry Greb
5. Ezzard Charles

 

Good list mate. Makes a change.
