    DINAMITA, can you tell the forum why you do not have =
    George Dixon, Parkey McFarland, Jim Driscoll,Freddie Welsh and Jim Jeffries in your top 100 ?
    { i will leave you off for not having Lou Ambers, Beau Jack and Billy Graham}

    Packey McFarland had 104 fights in his career and lost just one, he beat Jack Britton #47 on your list twice and 1 draw, the boxrec report for one of their fights says Packey won every round accept one whch was even, Packey also had wins over Welsh, Kilbane and Britt.

    George Dixon was the first black World boxing champion, ranked by Nat Fleischer as the #1 All Time greatest bantamweight.

    Jim Jeffries fought in the most famous fight ever against Jack Johnson, Jeffries KO Fitzsimmons #14 on your list, not once but twice he also beat James J Corbett, Sharkey and Peter Jackson.

    Freddie Welsh had a win over Benny Leonard #13 on your list, as well as wins over Ad Wolgast, Johnny Dundee, Jim Driscoll and Willie Ritchie, Ritchie is another one that does not make your list.

    Jim Driscoll beat Abe Attell winning every round, he also beat George Dixon 3 times, oh i have just realised you have not got Abe Attell in your top 100 either ???

    You obviously know nothing about the history of boxing !!!!

    The best thing you can do is admit you left these older boxers of your list because they were in most cases pre film, thats why you know nothing about them, if you try and diss them, no serious boxing fan will be able to take you seriously.
    If people point out glaring mistakes in my list i will change them, i am no expert, thats why other resources was used to try and prevent leaving off boxers that belonged on the list.
    You on the other hand, will never admit to being wrong, so come on either justify why Dixon,McFarland,Driscoll,Jeffries,Welsh,Beau Jack,Attell,Jim Jeffries etc are not amongst your top 100 or admit to having a crap list and having made a balls up of it.

    If you make excuses for not including most of the above boxers and in the future update/create a new top 100 list, with some of them on it, i will be down on you like a ton of bricks.

    To compile a list of 400 Boxers and rank them takes some serious knowledge, time and effort.


    At least thats what i thought til i read this pish.


    Congratulations on naming 400 Boxers and writing them down. Thats all i can say.

    BadJuju83, the above quote, explains some of the resources that was used to construct the list {IBRO and rings annual ratings}, if you think the list is pish fine, but i'd like to see what you regard as a good list ? , something like DINAMITA's list perhaps, which is missing lots of the old, All Time Greats, but is filled with more modern boxers that people are more likely to have heard of ?
    Regardless of the running order, any top 100 list that does not have George Dixon, Peerless Jim or Packey in it, is not worth the paper it is written on :hi:

    Jacky what weight did she fight at ?

    I may have listed Jack Blackburn too high, he has losses against Gans, Philly Jack O'Brien and Kid Norfolk, his best win seems to be against Dave Holly.

    Wait a minute, are you saying Jackie should be ranked higher ?

    Maybe it's just me reading it wrong, but are you putting Rocky ahead?

    In terms of P4P, I'd put Charles above Marciano

    Whitaker, Hopkins and RJJ should be higher than they are for starters.

    :good

    I presumed you meant Charles ahead of Marciano, just couldnt tell from your wording.

    And yeah, Conteh should be up there. But there's a lot wrong with that list.
