Yaman 03-28-2009, 01:03 PM Louis, Armstrong, Duran, Pep, Robinson, Leonard, and Ali are some of my favorites and happen to be some of the greatest fighters ever. Any of them can fit into the top 10, but it would take a lot of time to compile a list like this. Maybe i'll try later.
GRkiller 03-28-2009, 10:41 PM In no particular order:
Jack Johnson
Evander Holyfield
Mike Tyson
Rocky Marciano
Jack Dempsey
Diego Corrales Fight with Castillo put him way up in the list
Lennox Lewis

Take off Johnson, Holyfield, Tyson, Dempsey, Mayweather, Hopkins, Foreman and especially Corrales and Gatti, and in no particular order the rest of your list is arguable.

Come on my man, niether of these guys belong among the top 10 p4p fighters all time. They were/are great fighters, but not top 10 great.

Hopkins had 20+ title defenses, moved up to light heavy and racked up some good wins to. Looks like he might go for cruiser as well. I think he's a pretty solid p4p fighter.
Holyfield is a 4 time hw champ, should be a 5. If Louis is on there, so should Holy, don't ya think?
I guess Holyfield is arguable, but Hopkins for me, is not.

Hopkins is a great fighter, but not top 10 all time. I can name plenty of fighters who beat better comp through out their careers.
Holyfield is a 4 time hw champ, should be a 5. If Louis is on there, so should Holy, don't ya think?
Holy is a two time champ, two time titlist. And considering he isn't even the best heavyweight of his era.........He's not top 10
I probably wouldn't have Louis in the top 10 either although I wouldn't mind an argument being made for him.
My list constantly changes, but I'll put one up in a little bit.

Lacrimosa 04-09-2009, 09:33 AM "Sugar" Ray Robinson - It is as simple as that... You look at him in his prime and you understand that every thing he did he did perfectly... An Icon of a boxer
Nicolino Locche - Actually i don`t like defencive fighters, but Locche is the only one who makes me smile... Made his opponents look like complete fools...
"Big" George Foreman - the most incredible puncher of all times... When i see George Foreman throwing punches i just have my breath taken far away... and i feel sorry for the guy who takes them...
Thomas "Hitman" Hearns - 6 (5) division world champion. The only one who managed to use his reach and his height to the full extend...
And three great champions from the middle 90s - Roy Jones Junior, Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins and James "Lights Out" Toney
P.S. Sorry.... not 10 p4p, but 7 most favourite :)
bridger1 04-11-2009, 11:52 AM not in order: RJJ, hamed, augustus, jermain taylor, miguel cotto, zab judah, paul williams, winky wright, b-hop, whitaker and mayweather. thats 11 but i have others like dawson. but the list was because there fun to watch
