My very rough copy of the Top 50 Boxers of All Time

Glad I never noticed

 

Lists worthy of your eminent appraisal.

 

Do you have one?

 

I think we all are

 

Very solid up top, it gets a bit random as you go down, but that will always happen.

Dixon, McGovern, Carpentier and Villa deserve consideration; I think maybe Beau Jack, McCallum and Basilio could be removed.

But great effort these things are never easy to do.

One small thing Floyd Mayweather was a jorneyman of the 70s/80s Floyd Mayweather Jnr deserves consideration.

 

Your point?

 

Thanks for the opinions... always appreciated

 

My point is obvious

 

It's even better when they hang themselves with their own rope isn't it?

 

Seeing that you're not a noob around here, you should know the answer to that. :good

 

Guess I just pay more attention to some posters more than I do others. Call it a learned skill regarding boxing forums.

 

It's a decent list. Actually, it's very good. Seems like most of the right names are there. Of course, we can spend time debating the order in which they should go.

Personally, I wouldn't put Ray Leonard that high - with fighters like ARCHIE MOORE and JOE LOUIS several places beneath him !

Ray Leonard had some brilliant signature wins, a lot of ability, but a career splintered with inactivity, and retirements, all that jumping around new weight divisions.

I cant even begin to fathom how he'd be ranked ahead of Archie Moore.

 

Pretty solid...Pea. good job.:good
Bob Foster needs a shout...and maybe I'd put guys like Gavilan, Napoles, and Williams ahead of Holyfield...But that is just my opinion. That is a tough undertaking...making a list like that.

 

Think thats a pretty fine list, of course we're all going to have discrepancies with it, but how hard is it to do a top 50 all time. I tried before and got too pissed off with my reasoning and abandoned it.

One more thing, Monzon should be higher. touching tenth place:yep
