    Everyone seems to have different criteria for the mythical P4P greatest fighters lists. One that I've brought into mine here recently is 100+ fight fighters, those with at least 100 fights and preferably 100 or more WINS. So some of the obvious candidates are,

    Sam Langford
    Harry Greb
    Henry Armstrong
    Ray Robinson
    Willie Pep
    Roberto Duran
    Archie Moore
    Mickey Waler
    Benny Leonard
    Jimmy Wilde
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Tony Canzoneri
    Joe Gans
    Sandy Saddler
    Maxie Rosenbloom

    Obviously there are fighters with 100+ wins but never achieved world class wins etc. This top tier list would not contain any heavyweights since so few heavyweights reach even 100 fights much less 100 wins.
    Then there are of course lots of great fighters of all weights but wouldn't make it into this high end of the list, like Bob Fitzsimmons, Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, and of course Pacquiao and Floyd.
    Thoughts?
