    Get PBF out of the list.

    No disrespect to your opinion... but the naming of any man, who hasnt unified a division doesnt rate with the legitimates.

    This is the highest ranking i've ever seen for Dempsey, who didn't fight the best available as a contender, was an inactive chamipon who didn't match his best contenders, and lost his title to an ex-lightheavy.

    Dempsey fought everyone he could on his division, the best it was at his time....Herb Golbstein, Bert Sugar, top boxing authorities have them top 10 ATG....I have it top 20..I am very comfortable having him top 20......

    No disrespect...but one of the worst lists I've ever seen. I really hope you are kidding..it seems as tho you have forgotten the old timers and going off recent fighters. Chris Eubank shouldn't be in anybody's top 30, nevertheless top 10.

    This list changes, but currently my ten would be:

    1 - Sugar Ray Robinson
    2 - Henry Armstrong
    3 - Harry Greb
    4 - Willie Pep
    5 - Sam Langford
    6 - Roberto Duran
    7 - Ezzard Charles
    8 - Muhammad Ali
    9 - Archie Moore
    10 - Sandy Saddler


    I'll admit Saddler is a bit of a personal favourite (realistically he might be just outside the top 10).

    I've probably left out someone obvious (I'm doing this with a mega hangover to contend with).

    sorry man. not kidding,
    I'm not saying they are the top 10 greatest fighters ever, what I'm saying is that they are MY top 10 fighters.. that I like and no one will have to agree with me, but it's funny you mention that it's the worst list you've ever seen..

    The names Mayweather and Chavez stand out as being wrong.

    Mayweather's resume is just not good enough to justify that. Take a look at a guy like Ezzard Charles resume.
