Top Five Greatest Fighters Ever

Sugar Ray Robinson
'Hurricane' Hank Armstrong
Willie Pep
Sam Langford
Harry Greb


Honorary mentions to Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis whom I rate sixth and seventh respectively.

 

I rank those five higher than him.

 

Louis deserves this place, the most dominant fighter ever in the history of Boxing is worthy of this place for sure, that´s my view....

IMO the others would be

Greb
Robinson
Armstrong
Langford


And this one may be a bit controversial, but IMO Joe Gans is a top 5 worthy as well....I don´t know if I would rate him there though......
Greb, SRR, Louis, Armstrong and Langford would be my top 5, I think......in my reviewed list.

 

:huh On what basis do you say this?

Louis reigned in a ****-weak division, and still found time to get knocked out in his prime by Max Schmeling.

You could make arguments for Pep, Monzon, Robinson, and more, it's not clear-cut.

And what's more important than 'dominance'? Resume is. And Ezzard Charles has Louis beat HANDS DOWN in this, THE most important one of all. :deal

 

What a magnificent list :good You forgot Butterbean though !

 

Louis was a bit pre-prime against MS....only his second year as a pro. Not a big deal IMO.....

I just don´t think the "resume is the mos important thing" is always true, you know......
I give a LOT of value to resume, of course....but if we do that all the time we can be unfair with certain fighters IMO.

Louis being THE Champion for a long time, looking so good like he did gives him a good enough valuation that compensates his "lack" of ATGs in his resume....
That´s my view. Due to the H2H ability he shows on video he was actually UNLUCKY to not have a Foreman for example, to face in his days.....

 

We R witnessing N Xample of a lighter handed lufcrazy arguing against a heavier handed lufcrazy .

Here is my sorting of d lufcrazies in order of their heavy handedness , from heaviest 2 lightest :

1. Vic Jofre-BRASIL , o'riray , reznick , The Mongoose , all these sudden new accounts , My2Sense , klompton , bodhi , SuzieQ49
, Bill Butcher , Swarmer

2. TheGreatA , McGrain , teeto , mcvey , Azzer85 , TAC602 ,

3. lufcrazy , Hands Of Iron , FleaMan , KittiKassem , Pachilles






I might edit later 4 enhancing each tier and maybe adding another tier .

 

I´m a "heavy handed lufcrazy"......what's that supposed to mean ??

 

So all those guys are Lufcrazier than Lufcrazy?

 

Yeah, I thought of Benny Leonard myself. I have a problem with the fact that a bunch of his fights were 4-8 rounders. Some of those ended in KO, which boosts things of course. For opposition alone he's definitely up there somewhere.

That's why Louis makes my top 10. He's the only HW I could never completely rule out on a fantasy match up even with his fragilities.

 

u got this right , but lufcrazy is still a lufcrazy , i mean , o'riray

 

My top 5:

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Joe Gans
4. Harry Greb
5. Muhammad Ali


My top 5, adjusted for frankenfrank:

1. Carlos Mayorga
2. Sven Ottke
3. Brandon Rios
4. Luis Resto
5. Michael Grant

 

Robinson
Langford
Greb

Charles
Armstrong


Fitz just misses the cut.

 

it means that u qualified as another lufcrazy compatible , which means , u must b a "boxing Xpert" . N appropriate successor 2 Bert Sugar .

 

how did i 4get about u , it must b coz of your low post output , yes , u'r a luf 2 , I just do not know which tier , probably tier #1
