    Wierdly, the thing that upsets me the most is that Mayweather is above Whitaker.

    I've never worked out a top 30, but I'm pretty sure Tarver ain't gonna be in it... bad, bad list - though I doubt anyone has the encyclopaedic knowledge to produce a real top 30 list...

    Mosley above Moore is the biggest problem I have. Blasphemy.

    The only fighters he never beat were Hopkins and future great Chad Dawson, great fighter in my book, solid chin & good skills.

    oh right, yeah, that means Tarver must be top 30 of all time...

    These things are impossible, just draw up a list of the top 30 of the fighters you've seen or lived through - i still doubt a decent lhw champion like Tarver would make it that high

    Where is Carlos Monzon? No Evander Holyfield but Antonio Tarver? You have Tarver but no Michael Spinks who was unbeaten at LHW and had his only defeat to Mike Tyson?

    Among serious lists, that is hands down the absolute worst I've ever seen. Assuming it was in fact, serious.

    In his defense, Tarver would be undefeated if he didn't have his five losses.
