    Not a bad list mate, considering a draft.

    All I'd say is move Charley Burley down. Yep, he was one of the better contenders, but he was no Sam Langford. Holman Williams' record outshines Burley's for one. Infact, so does Ike Williams', Jose Napoles', Kid Gavilan's, and so on.

    Absolutely excellent. I think Fitzsimmons should be higher.

    Have only looked at the top 10, but I like that you have both Louis and Ali there. Why not really? They only fought in one weight class and didn't have 100+ wins, but they both beat a a number of ranked opponents that is just below that of Robinson etc, and their record in title fights is just something else (especially Louis').

    Good top 10. The rest looks solid as well.

    Larry Holmes belongs somewhere on this list. Also perhaps Lennox Lewis.

    A top 50 list without PBF, but Louis 8 is pure fraud.

    Cheers.

    Solid list...I agree with most of the comments so far regarding the positioning of some names but good list overall IMO.

    It's a good list, the ones i've put in red I feel should be a bit lower and the ones in green need to be higher. The only one that really sticks out though is Wilde at 45, he needs to be much higher (i've got him 18)

    Hagler needs to be a good bit higher, definitely above Leonard. Roldan and Mugabi are really high calibre defences. He's also never lost a disputed decision and never been knocked down. H2H, definitely the best. I'd actually put him above Monzon.

    EDIT: Switch Spinks with Foreman.

    A decent list.

    Personally, I would have Joe Louis in my top 10 also. But it's predictable that some people will tell you that's too high. I think heavyweights in general, and Louis in particular, often get short changed on these lists.
