So guys are way too sensitive , it just goes to show you how ridiculous people in our society are... you can't even talk about race without someone claiming that you're racist. It's quite sad...
Sam Langford Harry Greb Ray Robinson Henry Armstrong Ezzard Charles Bob Fitzsimmons Roberto Duran Benny Leonard Joe Gans Joe Louis
Maybe so, but that doesn't make me racist. That just means that I am fed up that many posters on here are racially bias and try to pass off their opinions and arguments as not being greatly influenced by their background.
I won't claim to know enough to put guys like Robinson and Greb in my lists. I have seen one or two fights by guys that should belong on my list, I may have read about, I may have looked at Boxrec but it is nothing too extensive so here we go: 1.Roberto Duran 2.Muhammed Ali 3.Sugar Ray Leonard 4.Pernell Whitaker 5.Michael Spinks 6.Manny Pacquiao 7.Salvador Sanchez 8.Roy Jones Jr. 9.Wilfredo Gomez 10.Bernard Hopkins
I think you can kind of achieve PFP fame in at least two ways. One way is to show amazing ability to conquer multiple weight classes. Another way is to be clearly super great at a particular weight class. Of course some people have done both. Ali and Louis were only at heavyweight. Langford was great over many classes and in retrospect could have been the best at a number of them had he settled down. Manny has gone from flyweight to welterweight and will end up under serious consideration.
