Top 50 P4P ATG Lists?

Lewis never beat a prime Tyson! He beat a washed up, careless, prozac popping bizzaro Tyson who was in his mid-30s.

Lewis is a *****! He was scared to fight Mike while he was eating *****s up. Then he gets the title when Bowe throws it in the trash. He fights Holyfield when he's at the end of his career. And the most ***** ass move of all: After getting slapped around by Vitali Kitscko back in 2003, but escaping because of a cut... he quits the sport so he doesn't have to fight a rematch or take on Wladmir.

 

right! right! right! not worthy of top 25

 

More or less my point.

How can being a SMALLER heavyweight somehow get you less credit then a lgiant one because there's no restriction in size? Is the fact that they are smaller and therefore earn P4P points far easier that hard to understand?

But it's okay to fault the weight cutting lower weight fighters likes Corrales, Castillo, Fenech and Gatti? They had an unfair advantage but a man with 30, 40 or 50 pounds over another man isn't to be faulted?

I don't hold it against them, but I sure as **** give the smaller ATG heavyweights like Louis and Johnson greater thought in these kinds of discussions.

 

This is good list.

 

Long time no talk buddy, you're right jack johnson is underrated.

 

Long time BP!


It showed Jack could end any fight instantly when pressed. People see the film and it just doesnt register with them.

I didnt really rank some of my fighters the way I felt I should. I sort of bowed to public pressure with Camacho. I ranked him below Pernell even tho I think he would take Pea no sweat

 

I have often wondered why hearns is around 20 places lower then hagler... Im a young man with compared to you guys poor boxing knowledge but i am curious becuase apart from the Barkley loses he seemed to achieve alot after the Duran,Leonard,Hagler days

 

Red Rooster, one thing I will agree with you on is that Pernell Whitakler is slightly overrated among fans today.

 

The best I can come up with is a top 10 list of fighters Ive seen enough of, they are in a rough order but after the top 3, positions can be swapped around no problem.....

Sugar Ray Robinson
Muhammad Ali
Willie Pep
Henry Armstrong
Roberto Duran
Sugar Ray Leonard
Joe Louis
Julio cesar Chavez
Pernell Whitaker
Marvelous Marvin Hagler

 

Not the most entertaining fighter to watch.

I have watched the Chavez bout several times, studying in detail just how he outmanuvered JC. I think alot of fighters would do well to emulate his style as best they can just for the sake of a better defense and/or winning on points. It's a good style. Against a class fighter like Chavez, he dominated on that night and I doubt many others could have repeated it. It appears he was very well prepared as he rarely took more than a glancing blow. Of course, he had Duva-Benton in his corner, which pretty much maximized his potential.
