boxing, is a subjective sport right? Even some of his haters except, that dougie fisher who hates his guts have given floyd credit!!
I have no ill feelings for Floyd so I feel that I'm relatively objective. He is way to high in that list. His resume and Pacs are pretty close IMAO and he has 4 times the votes Pac has.
At HW, I agree. On both counts. But Evander had cruiserwt credentials as well and the list reflects that, I think. I have a hard time with Lewis so low, though.
No wonder the Ring magazine holds little to no credibility when it comes to the things like this. It's best for them to just stay out of it.
Spinks and Hearns standout as very underrated on this list. Apparently it's not only the newbies and casual fans who underrated Spinks. Mayweather too high. Nice to see Jofre get his props.
Dates are not subjective. The guy at number 2 hit his prime before the beginning of WWII and many years before its end. Anyone who takes this list seriously is guilty of equal idiocy.
Some people are mad because their one favorite guy didn't make it or that their one least favorite guy did make it. Everyone has different criteria. Interesting to see how the opinions come together and where the total "points" fall. It is not a science, just 20 industry men and their opinions. Don't get so offended if you don't agree with them.
I will say, I've never seen Charley Burley get rated above Emile Griffith before. That is a pretty **** opinion. Larry Holmes and George Foreman ahead of Pacquiao? I think NOT! Mike Tyson should not have made a single persons' top 20... let alone total ahead of several guys who are clearly superior in every semi-measurable or debatable way. Ricardo Lopez, Carlos Ortiz, and Tommy Hearns all deserve to be ahead of several of the guys they received less "points" than. Obviously, all just my humble opinion.
Armstrong and inclusion of guys who fought the vast majority of their career before the war in Louis and Conn immediately struck me as highly awkward.
