see oscar is #39 and olivares is 33...and it is a panel that rank the boxers...impact and influence of every boxers must be considered

 

This list some bull****. Oscar is way too ****ing high. And where the hell is trinidad? They must be judging this by outside ring accomplishes or appeal.

 

they take everything into consideration..Oscar was pretty hot b4 Floyd and now Pac beat him. Two years ago Oscar was one of those who fought them all

 

this list is pretty bad

 

napoles higher than hearns, hagler, and monzon? :bart where's Sal Sanchez and Wilfredo Gomez? Whitaker, Holyfield, and Hagler rated way to low on the list and should be top 20. totally disagree there.

 

not yet. he moved up and beat a second tier lightweight in diaz, and ODLH, who was worn out. to get into the top 50 I thingk u need to dominate your weight class for many years, ala Hagler, or be able to move up one or two weight classes and be highly competitive (Duran here, although he did also dominate the lightweights for 7+ years, but he is a solid top 10).

pacman arguably lost to JMM twice.

 

Nah...ESPN are going to have an agenda like everyone else...Having Charles that low seems unjustified to me.

Having Ross, Canzoneri and McLarnin ranked in sucession smells a bit fishy to me..like they were just trawling around on boxrec and clicking on links. Not to say they dont deserve to be ranked highly but it just seems like that part of the list wasnt thought out to long.

Otherwise not the worst list ive seen but no Harada doesnt sound right.

 

yes, he is. a five-weight and 3-time lineal champ having fought from flyweight all up to welter has to be there.

 

He'll be cracking top 25 soon.

 

after beating Hatton its a no brainer

 

No disrespect to the legends, but this list isn't all that good.

 

He should be. I cant believe 68 people already voted as no...

 

LoL what the hell are you on.. you cant be serious..

Pac > Mayweather. Look at their resume.
