    Harry Greb - (June 6, 1894 – October 22, 1926)
    How on earth am I supposed to know about this guy or who he fought. Did they even have televisions back then?

    Depends on what your criteria for greatest is. If It's accomplishments then guys like SRR,Armstrong, Louis, and Ali are at the top. If it's who was the best at their peak then RJJ is the best followed by guys like Duran,sweet pea

    How you have to look at a great fighter in the top 10 is the following.

    1 question only.

    Is there anyone ever who would beat the shite out of you in your prime in your most natural weight class.

    In Floyds best class Super Feather weight Azuma Nelson and JCC kill him over 15.

    Not top 10.

    I know this was from a very long time ago, but I was wondering if you could explain this claim-if you still believe it’s true; Because I have not been able to find a single logical explanation-for why Mayweather is not THE Greatest Ever—let alone-how he is not in the conversation.

    1. So how did Manny Pacquiao crack the top 5? Which great fighters did he beat in their prime?

    I believe this fellow was banned simply because he had Andre Berto 4th. Unless of course it was an old fashioned wind up post, which is possible too.

    And this guy was probably banned because he asked if there were tvs in the 20s, unless of course, you know....

    He might have been trying to wind everyone up-although I doubt it.
