Good list, people can quibble about the placement but no one sticks out at me as not belonging at first glance. I personally wouldn't put Heavyweights on a p4p list but that's my own personal thing and I don't expect everyone to follow it.

Great effort. My only issue with regards to who is in that shouldn't be in is Khaosai Galaxy. Guys like Sung Kil Moon, Hilario Zapata, Yoko Gushiken, Jiro Watanabe, and Gilberto Roman are lower weight fighters who should all rate higher based on competition and overall skillsets. Vicente Saldivar should also be a LOCK for the top 100....personally, I have him in the top 50. Incredible resume. Have a look at Lou Ambers as well. He just might have a top 10 resume of all time. Carlos Ortiz should be bumped up a notch as well.

But once again, great effort and a better list than a lot of top 100s I've seen people come up with.

I knock off heavy's if I have too many I want to include :)
Kind of see the theory as a great HW should always beat a great middle so hence p4p. That said it kinds of seems empty not including Ali, Louis etc on what is essentially the greatest fighters list

Yes very good list people will quible with placement but it ticks a hell of a lot of boxes, or should that be boxers!
Thanks for taking the time and effort, it has shown me one thing I certainly need stronger reading glasses.
I looked through it waiting to see a major ommission, like we all do admit it!!
Aha, No Langford, yes I bloody know now!
