    Harada was rather lucky the fights were in Japan. They were close, but I though he lost both bouts.

    I think it depends on how you rate fighters. One was more consistent, while the other had better wins. IMO, Jofre was the better fighter.

    I personally thought Harada won both fights clearly but it's been awhile since I've last seen them. It is true that Jofre was more consistent but Harada has better weight jumping, more impressive wins and beat Jofre fairly twice.

    Wouldn’t change too much much. I’d have Greb with the rest of tier 1, with Duran Pep and Ali.
    Would put Mayweather and Pac a bit lower and Jones and Chavez a bit higher.

    In terms of 118 specifially I think Jofre would do better H2H against a wider variety of other ATGs than Harada, however Harada would always be a nightmare style match up for him (I had Harada winning both pretty clearly just like you). P4P though Harada has the better weight jumping feats and should really be recognised to have accomplished the Fly-Bantam-Feather triple header. Harada is a bit underrated, both in greatness and H2H, in the western sphere imo.
    Damn mate I was 18 when you first wrote this :confused: Time flies :lol:

    No one is ever agreeing on a top 100 anyway and the further you go down the harder and harder it gets.

    Calzaghe holds up too well head to head for the guys still living who spent their time trashing to ever admit he was actually good

    I mean some people don't consider h2h and that's fine. Even if you did factor h2h in, Calzaghe's list of wins leaves a lot to be desired when compared to other atgs. Honestly Calzaghe is what Mayweather and Marciano haters think Mayweather and Marciano are. I could see him not making the top 100 or barely squeezing in at the bottom. Either is fine.

    Hello, George Crowcroft.

    I would not even attempt a top 100 pound for pound list. And I have nothing but respect for anyone who does. Hard work! Decent list. Congratulations!
