Ring Magazine Has George Foreman ranked higher than Fitzsimmons and Frazier!!!

"L" is probably the most obvious of all the letters. If "impact on the sport" is to be considered, then it's very hard to imagine how they could not pick Louis.

 

All those guys not named Leonard you listed are top notch boxers. However they are not as good as the ones Named Leonard. Joe Louis comes closest.
Another name to add to the L. List is Ted "Kid" Lewis.

 

Seems that way...but at the same time, i am shocked that Ali didn't get it over Armstrong.

Who had a greater impact on boxing than Ali?

 

Thanks for that.

 

Apart from Foreman I don't have any complaints on the list so far, really.

Personal choices would probably be as follows:

A-Henry Armstrong
B-Charley Burley
C-Ezzard Charles
D-Roberto Duran
E-Hiroyuki Ebihara
F-Bob Fitzsimmons
G-Harry Greb
H-Marvin Hagler
I-Luis Ibarra
J-Eder Jofre
K-Stanley Ketchell
L-Sam Langford
M-Packey McFarland
N-Jose Napoles
O-Carlos Ortiz
P-Willie Pep
Q-Dwight Muhammad Qawi
R-Ray Robinson
S-Sandy Saddler
T-Gene Tunney
U-Alfredo Urbina
V-Pancho Villa
W-Barbados Joe Walcott
X-?
Y-Teddy Yarosz
Z-Carlos Zarate

 

Not personal choices, but how I think the rest of their list will look:

G-Harry Greb
H-Marvin Hagler
I-Luis Ibarra
J-Jack Johnson
K-Stanley Ketchell
L-Joe Louis
M-Carlos Monzon
N-Jose Napoles
O-Ruben Olivares
P-Willie Pep
Q-Dwight Muhammad Qawi
R-Ray Robinson
S-Sandy Saddler
T-Gene Tunney
U-Paulino Uzcudun
V-Pancho Villa
W-Pernell Whitaker
X- Alfredo Xeque
Y-Teddy Yarosz
Z-Carlos Zarate

 

Armstrong is a consensus top 5 ATG, top 3 by most (mine as well)...Ali is clearly outside of the top 5 and for me comes in between 9-12...this should not even be a discussion!

 

They'll probably have Ibeabuchi above Ibarra.

 

You could be right... I completely forgot about "The President".
Still, Ibarra was a world champ, so they may want to go with him.

 

What is wrong with Foreman above Frazier And Fitzsimmons?
It was a very good choice IMO.

George Foreman -

Went 40-0 undefeated, until losing to teh GOAT Ali.

Destroyed prime Frazier, Norton, Lyle and past-prime Frazier.

Had teh greatest comeback of all time in sporting history, when he KO'd World Heavyweight Champion Moorer with a single bomb at age 45!

Only lost 5/81 fights And he deserved teh decisions against Young and Briggs.
