    A bit more than the McAuliffe brand anyway. That list was an experiment anyway, just looking for a few opinions.

    Off the top of my head

    1. Ray Robinson
    2. Roberto Duran
    3. Henry Armstrong
    4. Harry Greb
    5. Ezzard Charles
    6. Ali
    7. Langford


    That was without thinking, the last couple need some more thought. Thinking Ross, Loughran, Ted Lewis, Hagler, Berg, Arguello. All close.

    Probably some glaring omissions and if I really think the order might change but these 7 (plus Ross) are pretty much the best 8 fighters I've ever heard of (resume+skill=all-time standing)

    By the way, what have I missed about Young Peter Jackson? Never heard of him.

    Wins over Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Mysterious Billy Smith, Barbados Joe Walcott, Sam Langford, all by TKO's.

    Let's not forget however that all these men generally got the better of him despite Jackson also scoring wins over them.

    Impressive fighter but top 3 pound for pound? That's a stretch.

    According to Boxrec, anyway? His record there is very incomplete according to most accounts, marred by robberies and dives galore as well. The best opponents he faced were probably Jim Driscoll, Abe Attell, Terry McGovern, and Young Griffo.
