    I prefer the term "GOAT" to "TBE".

    Can you make an argument why he should be on the list? I mean, I get it, he is british and that adds greatly to his achievements, but he only fought one quality PRIME opponent. Not to mention his brutal "knockout" victories.

    PS: I am a fan of JC and I rewatched his fight with Lacy countless times.

    PPS: he only beat Hopkins by 1 point on my score list. And there are many who think he didn't even deserve that win.

    Man there are a lot of old timers here. But the consensus remains, 57% to 13%, Mayweather's claim is not resonating with the voting public.

    Leonard is the GOAT

    I dont care about primitive old dinosaurs that we've barely seen fight, if at all, like Greb The Unicorn / UFO

    All old timers are ****ing overrated, guys like Dempsey or Jack Johnson would be cruiserweight bums today

    This isn't the voting public. This is a forum son. There are people here who think Pac won on May 2nd. I KID YOU NOT!

    The best SRR beats the best version of anyone P4P.

    The footwork, the chin, the power. All too much in combination for anyone to hang with for long. Check the tapes.....

    Robinson.
    May and Pac can each have a case for top 20 though.

    nah they are just saying that to get a rise out of mayweather fans. Both may and pac won that night, the only losers were the public that paid two senior citizens to imitate a fight on a $100 PPV.

    you're probably right. Even watching the tapes you can see how incredibly bad the opponents were, walking forward with their arms down, chins open, taking wild swings and actually finding a target.

    Surprisingly, Chavez is getting no love. Did all the latinos vote for Duran?
