    I have told you before, Jofre only ever lost against one man, Fighting Harada another great, and both times away from home in Japan, IBRO list Jofre as their #1 bantamweight and as their #15 greatest ever boxer, i have him lower than that at #18, when you came on this site you wanted a group of people to rank boxers ? so what is wrong with them having him at #15 ? {and me having him at #18} they are a group arent they ?

    Vernon Forrest, John Conteh, JM Marquez and Maurice Hope.

    I get this feeling too. The amount of effort is commendable, but I'm struggling to see the point to be honest, other than gaining personal plaudits.

    The list itself is vast, but it is not a great list at all in terms of quality.

    WHERE'S JOPPY????

    You had him 143rd in a recent list (above both Erik Morales and Azumah Nelson), now you say he'd be 400-500. What has William done in a couple of months that has seen him drop 300 places?

    Actually consider this for a minute anyone who is bothering to view this freakshow....

    The guy who has spent Christ knows how long making a spectacularly useless top 400 ranks:

    - Joe Calzaghe at 53rd ever

    - And Juan Manuel Marquez does not make a top FOUR HUNDRED

    :lol:

    You think someone who had gone to so much trouble would actually bother learning something about the damn sport first!

    There is absolutely no way in hell any sane person can justify a 350+ place difference between the world p4p#2 Marquez and #3 Calzaghe - it boggles the mind! :admin:nono

    No George Dixon {#35 on my list} :lol:

    No Jim Driscoll {#45 on my list} :lol:
    No Jim Jeffries {#74 on my list} :lol:
    No Beau Jack {#78 on my list} :lol:

    These 5 boxers are stonewall top 100 and you have not got one of them in your list :roll:

    Instead you have got =
    Morales,Bivins,Carpentier and FFS James Toney and Benny Lynch :yikes of Scotland.

    You rank Hopkins over Hagler, you got to be off your head with that one. :nut

    You rank Manny Pacman over Salvador Sanchez :shock:.

    Do i need to go on ?

    You have the 'Mighty Atom' at #29 :shock:
    You have Monzon above Sugar Ray Leonard :shock:
    You have La Motta above Larry Holmes :shock:
    You have Liston,Foreman,Frazier as well as La Motta too high :nono
    You rank Lennox Lewis as your #3 heavyweight [natural] ?, i have him #7.
    You rank Calzaghe as the #2 ATG Welshman, i say #4 ?
    You rank Pacquiao as the #1 Filipino, may be one day, currently i have him #3

    Hopkins #32 = joke [not even top 50]
    Hagler #34 = joke [should be inside top 20]
    Pacquiao #41 = joke [no justification for this ranking at this stage]
    Wilde #29= joke [top 10 or thereabouts]
    Bivins #61 = joke [outside top 100,lost against virtually ever other top fighter he fought]
    Morales #88 = joke [well outside top 100]
    Toney #89 = joke [well outside top 100]
    B.Lynch #100 =joke [well outside top 100, never fought outside UK, infact had virtually every fight in Scotland]

    also Roy Jones Jr up at #18 ??? = 'joke', way ahead of Marvelous Marvin Hagler !

    The above 'jokes' are way out, i am not going to mention, Ezzard Charles at #5 and Marciano 45 places lower than that {Rocky beat him twice, my gap is only 20 places} or Walker at #8 or Monzon at #11 as they are your choices, but the 'joke' picks i have highlighted above this paragraph are truly terrible :-(
