    No he doesn't; and I'm sure many will back me up in that opinion.

    Chavez and Mayweather are way too high. Whitaker is a bit high. I think I have him hovering in the low 20's.

    take a look... you just rated Ezzard Charles above Ali.. Charles doesnt belong in a top ten, unless Loius and Ali are 7-8 places above him.......

    Charles also has four wins over the man at number 9, and is considered by most to be the greatest LHW of all time, in addition to his impressive HW career.

    How so?

    He's got a better resume than both (far beyond Louis' resume), success from Middleweight-Heavyweight, Never beaten at his natural weight, etc.

    I think he's clearly above Louis. I don't really see much of an argument for Ali either, although it's certainly close.

    Not a chance; just look at his record at LHW; he's a lock for the top 10 in my eyes.

    In a HW list that's true, but not in an overall sense.

    I don't know if you're stupid or if you just can't read, but as I wrote before this is in no way shape or form an ATG LIST this is again MY top 10 fighters that I LIKE.. and since it is I could've had JERRY STRICKLAND or Journey man Sstevelcfc as number 1.. get it?

    Do you know who Ezzard Charles is or do you just not rate him? For me, his resume makes him an absolute lock for any top 10, though I personally have him 5th.

    No way does Chavez or Mayweather belong in a top 10 (or 25 IMO), and personally I don't see the case for Louis being in a top 10 either.

    My own top 10 (in order) :

    Robinson, Langford, Greb, Armstrong, Charles, Duran, Ali, Walker, Moore, Ross.


    My top 10 of the last 20-25 years (in order) :

    Whitaker, Jones Jr, Chavez, Hopkins, Holyfield, Mayweather Jr, Lewis, Pacquiao, Michael Spinks.


    My top 10 right now:

    Pacquiao, JM Marquez, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Vasquez, Calderon, Margarito, R Marquez, Hatton, Cotto.
