The Greats...

might not wanna mention the Pep ranking to Jel, he ranks Pep at #3 P4P

Moore's problem in my eyes is that he lost to pretty much all the greatest fighters he went up against:

-Charles x3
-Burley x2
-Marciano x1

No doubt that the names on his resume are strong, with the likes of Bivins, Maxim, Harold Johnson and a bunch of heavyweight contenders. I just wish he'd stolen a win from Charles or Burley. Really his insane longevity is what keeps him top 20.

Your point about Pacquiao debunks the notion that Saddler is too high. Saddler beat Pep x3 and is a 2 weight champion

Btw Pacman is at 47. I favor Mayweather's dominance over Pac, as well as, of course, he's the one that won their fight.

That seems like a question you should take up with Reznick lol. I've seen footage of Walcott vs Louis 1 in his montage but I'm pretty certain that he doesn't have the full fight. If you work up the courage to ask him, see if he has the clip of Louis saying "We are on God's side" as well. Been looking for that everywhere

Link to your twitter? If you don't mind, ofc

 

Could I convince you to add Battling Levinsky or Jack Dillon to that list

Edit: Also i think Gibbons should be higher. Gibbons had beaten Greb x2 in the past and was an undefeated 49-0-4 monster when Greb finally beat him

 

Finally, someone who also has Harada in their top 50! I've always thought he was criminally underrated

Napoles is a bit too high IMO. I rate Sanchez above him. Also Tunney and Hagler a touch too low

 

Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom was World Light-Heavyweight Boxing Champion from 1930 to 1934. He was the busiest title holder in ring history, fighting 106 times during his four-and-a-half-year reign—the equivalent of fighting one bout every 15 days! (obviously numerous non-title bouts)

Rosenbloom decisioned World Champion Jimmy Slattery to win the Light-Heavyweight title on June 25, 1930. He lost the crown to Bob Olin by decision on November 16, 1934.

Journalist Damon Runyon, writing about Rosenbloom’s colorful persona and unique open glove style of boxing, dubbed him Slapsie Maxie, a nickname that followed him throughout his boxing career. Upon retirement from the ring, Rosenbloom’s sharp wit and broken syntax brought him new success in motion pictures. He appeared in nearly 100 films during his post-boxing career.

His professional boxing record, which began in 1923 and closed in 1939: 299 bouts—won 223 (19 KOs), lost 42, drew 32, 2 no-contests.

Rosenbloom was elected to the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1972 and to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1993.

 

@The Undefeated Lachbuster made some good points already. Of course, it's all subjective criteria.

IMO Ali is not a P4P top 10 fighter (might be unpopular). I tend not to rank heavyweights as high p4p, due to lots of styles becoming dependant on size, power etc. including Ali, who 'abused' his size significantly sometimes.

Anyway, some points from me:
1) Maxie Rosenbloom is too high (though he is definitely underrated as you've inferred).
2) Bob Fitzsimmons is much too low for my (British) tastes. He is top 10 IMO.
3) definitely could not have Ali over Robinson
4) Sugar Ray Leonard too high IMO. For me, Duran always ranks over Leonard.
5) Jimmy Wilde could definitely be higher.
6) I wouldn't have Johnson in my top 30.
7) no Willie pep as mentioned

However, I do like your inclusions of McGovern (very forgotten) and Mickey walker. Wehter Walker is top 10 is debatable, though.

I don't think you can include Canzoneri and McLarnin without including Barney Ross.

Good job on the list bro.

 

Also, I'm liking the Harada ranking.

 

He did beat Lloyd Marshall 2 out of 2 in fairness.

 

I actually rate Kid Lavigne higher than Battling Nelson.

Dunno how popular an opinion that is.
