    Yup, just Butcher and I :lol: :yep
    I'm definitely in the minority in this one. I usually float him around 9-12, same with Pep.

    The 10 Greatest of all time:

    1. Ray Robinson
    2. Sam Langford
    3. Harry Greb
    4. Ezzard Charles
    5. Henry Armstrong
    6. Bob Fitzsimmons
    7. Muhammad Ali
    8. Roberto Duran
    9. Benny Leonard
    10. Archie Moore

    The most common change of that list is switching ole' Archie with Pep, Gans, or Walker, but I'll have him there for now.



    Now the list of the BEST, most impressive boxers I've ever seen looks something like this:

    1. Ray Robinson
    2. Roberto Duran
    3. Ray Leonard
    4. Pernell Whitaker
    5. Muhammad Ali
    6. Carlos Monzon
    7. Henry Armstrong
    8. Roy Jones Jr
    9. Wilfredo Gomez
    10. Jose Napoles


    That is, if differences in size disappeared and each man was at their very best, these are the 10 I'd expect to come out with the best records. Probably. That's a tougher list.

    (I'd like to throw Charles somewhere in there, but a single filmed fight of him in his prime means I'd have to go out on a limb and base it mostly on record, which misses the point. He'd be in if I did though - you can be damn sure - right above Armstrong...)

    Group A. The best of the best
    1. Benny Leonard
    2. Ray Leonard
    3. Pernell Whitaker
    4. Ray Robinson

    Group B. Right on the heals of group A.
    5. Joe Louis
    6. Ezzard Charles

    Group C. The rest. I tend to change my mind a lot about this group. Today it looks like.
    7. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
