List your top ten of the last forty years.

What surprises me is that Holyfield isn't on anyone's list. (even on hourable mentions list.)

Achievement wise I think he comfortably makes the cut.

My apology I noticed PowerPuncher has included him along side Tyson. I disagree with this because I think Holyfield's whole body of work including at Cruiserweight, significantly exeeds Tyson's but I'm glad he got included.:good

 

:twisted:

 

Your list has Hector Camacho higher than Ray Leonard. No further debate is needed. You ought to be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.

 

but why should I be ashamed when my man won three titles in the 80's and crushed yours in a fite?

Let's not try to pretend it doesnt matter becuz the fight came off late cuz if that's the case then the result of Hagler-SRL doesnt matter becuz that came off late by Leonard's design

SRL has 4 big names on his resume? Well Camacho has Leonard's name on his resume in addition to the 6 or so champs on his resume.

If anything, it's you that should be ashamed. I got no problem with Duran topping the list. I think maybe Hagler or Jones should be second since they're more deserving, they fought more often and Hagler's win over Hearns is much better than Sugar's

hector Camacho deserves to be in this top 10

If Pernell Whitaker can be there then why can't Camacho? Hector knew every trick in the book by age 20 and no one could compare with his speed.

People dont like him b/c of their hate for what he did to SRL so they donwgrade him based on a win over Rosario. To me that is just backwards

So he got caught three times. he survived and won wheras the other champ Bramble went out in two something like three months later.

Camacho won every one of his fights between the time he turned pro in 1980 and 1990. That's ten straight years without a loss.

I still dont undersand why Roy Jones is driven all the way down to #10 when it's obvious he had the most ability of any fighter and the greatest versatility. He could beat you in any way he wanted,, outboxing you without being touched as in the Toney fight, or he could demolish you with a single body shot.

 

all you're doing is getting excited over the spoils whether you want to talk about it or not.

hector had already lost to Haugen. what does that tell you?

Chavez had every oportunity to face him in the early to mid 80s yet somehow never managed to cross his path, instead preferring to stand aside and let hector take reign of two divisions while he took what was left over in a title left vacant

At both 130, & 135, both men were in the same division and both times it was Camacho who was at the top and neither time did Chavez care to challenge him

facing the 90s version of Camacho is like facing the post 2003 version of Roy Jones

 

Or the post '87 version of Leonard.

 

the POST 87 version of Leonard? If I recall, Leonard had just come back after 3 years and done fairly well in that fight whether or not he won or lost.

Doesnt it make sense that post 87 would improve with more experience? I count 4 fights including the one with Hagler entering into the Norris fight, the last one very convincingly in Leonard's favor.

 

Just tell me why he cant be there instead of saying "no further debate is needed"

all that's saying is you have no valid reason and that you have your own favorites

 

I'am suprised that everyone so far has omitted/overlooked this legend::verysad

WILFREDO "BAZOOKA" GOMEZ is a top 10 lock:deal

So everyone go ammend yer lists NOW:bbb

100% credit to lancs on the general for being the only on so far as to even mention GOMEZ.

44 wins with 42 KO's & 18 defences of the WBC super/bantamweight crown + winning feather & superfeather belts:smoke

 

Log out. You're embarrassing yourself.

 

If you need to be given a reason for why Leonard should rank waaaaaaay higher than Camacho or Tyson, you're waaaaaaaay beyond hope. :rofl

 

I love these threads, you always get crazy **** going down
