tony canzoneri p4p top 10 ??

great, great fighter, One of Hundreds - thats the best I can say about most of the greats...

 

He's in my top 675.

 

Uh, that's stretching a bit I think. I love Canzoneri but at best Top15 I think. Top10 is just a bit too far, not because he wasn't great but others simply were greater.

 

LOL that is _uckin halarious when you see put up like that... but the irony is you don't realise how tue that is when you break it down.

Top 10 considered best in each weight division = 80+ ...

Top 10 considered best from Greatest Era's = 80 - 160 (accounting for at least 2 Greatest Era's) ...

Top 10 considered best from each of Boxing Best Nation's = 400 (allowing for at least 5 Great Boxing Nations) ...

Top 10 considered from the Greatest People's Champion, Nearly men or Cheated fighters, from all the above catagories = Dozens of Great fighters ...

Top 10 Greatest Contenders, again from above criteria's = Dozens & Dozens ...

MINUS fighters places where they come up more thans once (fighters only get named once of course...

Seperate TRUE Greats over TRUE Top Contenders, that basically halves or less, the overall number. BUT anyway you slice it you've got HUNDREDS OF GREAT Fighters.

Tis a long rich history after all.

That's not how I broke it down, I took every hof fighter and every fighter who, at some point in their career, was the best fighter in one of the 17 weightclasses. I had 675 when I added all the names up.

Canzoneri was one of the names.

I haven't ranked them yet but he's there.

 

WOW cool you actually did a list... that is some undertaking, more than most would bother with. But really fighters deserve it and by catagorically going through ALL the possibilities as I have suggested, there really are hundreds!

but again the fighters deserve the recognition and there are many, many, many more than people realise with the bulk of them having little between them!!!

good effort man :good

 

He's comfortably inside the top 20.

 

Yeah, anywhere in the 15-20 range for me.

 

Yeah i've listed that many guys and sorted them first by hof status and second by surname.

I've then decided to go through each man one by one and look at how long they spent as the premiere fighter in each division, the resume breakdown considering meaningful victories and prime losses and then an evaluation of peak performance ideally by film but secondly by fight report.

So far i'm up to joe brown. Which is about 1.4% of the way through my list.

 

Just wait till you get to Kalule and i troll you by strongly advising you watch the Steve Gregory fight.Safe in the knowledge this forewarning post will have been long forgotten.

 

Please, luf's probably got every comment ever made on here sorted out and organized by the letter in the poster's first name. He will not forget.

 

He's the Peter Brand of this forum.

 

Right. 15-20 somewhere. Even on the list, mine at least, him and his Irish and Jewish counterparts are within striking distance. Namely McLarnin and Ross.

 

i'm not that bad.
