What do you think of Boxrec's recent GOAT list?

It's that bad i am surprised a Klit or GGG isn't on there.

 

Mark Ant would back the list tooth and nail !!!

 

Mayweather Jr. over Robinson,Leonard, Hearns,Ali, Duran, Hagler, Moore, and Monzon? Or some not mentioned Like Armstrong, Arguello,Sanchez,Zarate, Pep, Saddler, Gomez, Pryor,. Gavilan, Louis, Foster, Frazier, and Olivares just to name a few . I can easily name another 30-40 that were better fighters and fought much better competition when that competition was relevant. And all of them had losses. Whoever wrote that list is over infatuated with a deceptive undefeated record . And didn't start watching boxing until the late 90's

 

Even if you overlook Mayweather at #1, the biggest travesty on this list is that Floyd Patterson is at 14, with only Ali, Louis, Moore and Holyfield being higher ranked fighters who fought at HW. That is patently hilarious and entirely discredits the list by itself.

 

Yeah, the top four heavyweights in the sport's entire history, according to boxrec, are:
1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Evander Holyfield
4. Floyd Patterson

That's where I stopped reading.

That's not only bad, but, I mean, Holyfield over Usyk? C'mon. (LOL. That one was for all the guys in the Usyk-Holyfield thread.)

 

This looks like it was compiled by someone to create a lot of controversy , because even a casual fan can't be that stupid

 

Imagine putting Schmeling over Foreman, Dempsey, Lewis, Liston, Baer, Tyson and Charles

 

Plenty of so called "knowledgeable" posters will unabashedly do just that with a straight face.

 

Stop the press, it’s a unanimous decision - this list is absolute ****ing toilet!

 

Oscar in the top 10 is even more comical than Floyd at #1.

Oscar isn't even top 50.

 

Pfft!

 

But Jones missed a lot of punches in his 3 minute 30 demolition of Tate and Ezzard Charles (not on the list) landed 5 out of 6 against X at one point.

 

it was probably put together by someone young. the names are right but need some re ordering. You cant have Floyd and Pac over Robinson

 

It's done by a computer program

 

I'd like to see the methods, the variables, and targuments
