(Ring Magazine) Top 10 P4P fighters since 1922

Depends on what criteria do you rate fighters.

Usually people rate fighters with heavy emphasis on resume - if that is your case than Greb is a must.

There is no fighting footage of Greb exists if H2H is your concern.

 

46-0-0. not even top 10.rubbish

 

9 Americans.surprise surprise

 

Delighted Sweet Pea's on the list and kind of surprised at the same time that he picked him

 

Just for shits and giggles,what would your top 10 be?

 

not bad....one of the better lists IMO.....I'd change the order though and replace Whitaker with Moore.....

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Muhammad Ali
4. Harry Greb
5. Roberto Duran
6. Willie Pep
7. Sugar Ray Leonard
8. Joe Louis
9. Ezzard Charles
10. Archie Moore

 

Doesn't belong on this list. Whadda you got **** for brains!

 

1.Walker Smith
2.Casius Clay
3.Sam Langford
4.Henry Armstrong
5.Floyd Mayweather Jr.
6.Willie Pep
7.Ray Leonard
8.Roberto Duran
9.Sonny Liston
10.Floyd Patterson

 

langford should be excluded since by the 20's he was way past his best....the 20's version on langford ain't top 10 like the pre 20's version who's a shoe in for top 5.

 

lol

lol x2

 

I WHOLLY AGREE! Although the fact that his skill sets of counter-punching and grappling ( tying up the other guy) were so so complete that I only think of the guy at his peak. Langford on old black & white cruddy film is as interesting as any boxer who ever fought! This is why he's in my top 5. The early body of work. However, lets not dismiss his forays into higher weight classes where there were also stellar performances!

 

look at 99 % of grebs record and tell me why it gets looked over how poor they where ?.Calzaghe gets **** for fighting below standard fighters sometimes but nowhere near the likes of fighters who where2-10-0 and the likes.calzaghes main flaw is his nationality coz hedge b top 5 otherwise

 

I really like this list. Although as bad -ass as Duran was, I always put Leonard over him for one reason(now get this). Their first fight. Ray Leonard showed me more in that loss than he did at any other time in his career. Duran winning that fight is completely over-rated. Durans ruthless bravado and Ray's lousy body language won Roberto that fight. Ray fought Durans fight and was more successful than anyone had been up to that point in Roberto's career. Now I'm really not homing for Leonard, but let me ask you guys after you watch the action of Leonard vs Duran I. You don't think it couldn't have been a draw? Also Archie Moore & Ezzard Charles are legit picks. I picked Liston & Patterson because they both beat Moore and/or Charles.

 

Different era dude. How many times a month did Harry fight? 4?

 

You're just a homin *******. This is no disrespect to Manny. I thought this list was for for the P4P boxers. That ain't Pac! P4P Fighters yes Manny may deserve to be on that list. But as boxer punchers go he doesn't make this one.
