Fighters that I`ve seen reasonable video footage of & know a bit about, my list is something like this..... R.Robinson H.Armstrong M.Ali W.Pep R.Duran E.Charles R.Leonard J.Louis P.Whitaker J.C.Chavez
SRR Greb Armstrong Pep Charles Ali Duran Louis Benny Leonard Langford This isn't an official list of mine, I just threw it together for right now,I feel confident in my first 5 but I have between 5 and 10 more guys I could change in for 6-10
Ray Armstrong Greb Ali Langford Charles Duran Leonard Leonard (Ray) Pep Who knows what I'll think tomorrow though.
Yup, just Butcher and I :yep I'm definitely in the minority in this one. I usually float him around 9-12, same with Pep.
1. Harry Greb 2. Sugar Ray Robinson 3. Sam Langford 4. Henry Armstrong 5. Ezzard Charles 6. Roberto Duran 7. Joe Gans 8. Benny Leonard 9. Muhammad Ali 10. Bob Fitzsimmons
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...)
My top 10 looks like this 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. 8. Barney Ross 9. Charley Burley 10. Hank Armstrong
Im sorry but that's a terrible list imo how can u make a case for any of the guys except robinson to be better than Armstrong.
1. Ali 2. Louis 3. Robinson 4. Marciano 5. Tyson 6. Hearns 7. Duran 8. De la Hoya 9. Barrera 10. Lewis
1. Louis 2. Marciano 3. Jack Johnson 4. Andre Ward 5. JCCJr. 6. Wladimir Klitschko 7. Ali 8. Manny Pacquiao 9. Vitali Klitschko 10. Sergio Martinez 11. Gamboa 12. Duran 13. Whitaker 14. Mayweather 15. Arguello
:yep I was thinking the same...but yeah, **** it..... 1- Greb 2- SRR 3- Langford 4- Armstrong 5- Joe Gans 6- Benny Leonard 7- Ezzard Charles 8- Joe Louis 9- Roberto Duran 10-Mickey Walker Willie Pep and Sugar Ray Leonard would make a top 12.....
