    Most of us have a pretty good idea who makes our first ten all time pound for pound even if, like me you aren't too sure of their numerical order.
    Who gets into your second ten all time? Put up your top twenty if you prefer.
    I'll give my second ten a shot.
    In no order.
    Ray Leonard
    Jimmy Wilde
    Joe Walcott
    Joe Gans
    Tommy Hearns
    Pernell Whitaker
    Manny Pacquiano
    Roy Jones
    Archie Moore
    Sandy Saddler

    I'd need to think about this way more, and there's some eras I just don't know enough, so I've probably missed a few that merit inclusion.
    Tier 1
    Bob Fitzsimmons, Sam Langford
    Tier 2
    Sugar Ray Robinson, Harry Greb, Henry Armstrong, Ezzard Charles
    Tier 3
    Jimmy Wilde, Jem Mace, Archie Moore

    Some candidates that come to mind for the next level (vaguely in order, after the few stand outs (to me) above I think there's a lot that are hard to pick between)
    Floyd Mayweather Jr., Muhammad Ali, Joe Gans, Packey McFarland, Tommy Ryan, Gene Tunney, Terry McGovern, Charley Burley, Barney Ross, Joe Walcott, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Billy Conn, Joe Louis, Roy Jones Jr., Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Willie Pep, Rocky Marciano, Evander Holyfeild, Manny Pacquiao

    A few the next level down, but I feel like mentioning (skipping some out)
    Owen Moran, Young Peter Jackson, Len Harvey, Dan Creedon, James Braddock, Andre Ward (though if he comes back and win a legit heavyweight title, he'll be straight in the tier 2 :p)

    There's a few other early ones with very good reputations, but I just don't think there's enough information, atleast to my knowledge, to really rank at all like Nonpareil Jack Dempsey and Ike Weir

    I don`t think Ward`s got the built to do it at heavy, when you say legit are you talking about Wilder and AJ, I mean that would be insane, their reaches would be far too much! If he could do tat I think he could be considered in the Top 10, he would have toyed with Ruiz though.

    A first-cut go at this brings me the following names:

    Benny Leonard
    Mickey Walker
    Archie Moore
    Willie Pep
    Barney Ross
    Stanley Ketchel
    Tony Canzoneri
    Jimmy Wilde
    Sandy Saddler
    Charley Burley

    The above is in no particular order and could (and quite probably will) change frequently - but, not need a complete rethink, I would hope.

    There are some very knowledgeable fans on here with these lists. Can't argue much about most choices in general and when looking at the caliber of these fighters a question comes up,, where does Floyd Mayweather come in at?
    around 25 to 30?
