    He's not my pick but you gotta have Sam Langford in the poll if you don't want "Other" to have the most votes lol.

    1. Greb
    2. Robinson
    3. Armstrong
    4. Langford
    5. Charles

    Might've messed with the exact order a bit over the years (though Greb being #1 has been fairly consistent), but the top 5 have been pretty much set in stone for me since I can remember.

    Ali beat the toughest group of individuals ever….I can’t think of anyone who beat that many good to great fighters. I know people like to bring up other things like more fights or reign etc but to me toughest scalps ever attained.

    Charles is second to me then Mayweather for skills alone. So many heads explode with that but he will get his due in twenty years.
    Robinson and greb would prob be 4,5. My list changes weekly though lol
