The list actually isn't that bad. I just can't get over ODLH being at 39.

I know I will get jumped by many in here, but People from back in the day get to much credit. There are a lot of fighters that are ATG that wouldnt even made it to the top P4P in this era.

Locche for example fought over 120 times, and back in those days the divisions while maybe not as (Argueably) strong where much much deeper.
These days by the time you get past 10 on most weigths they aren't of any standard at all, I think for example that even a shot RJJ could beat all of the 11-20 LHW's with little trouble at all and push if not beat all the 6-10.
Boxrec has some random khazakstani with 7 fights in the top twenty...

I was just wandering if everyone agrees with the list, and if anybody thinks some people should be higher or lower in the list, or not in it at all? Discuss.
By the way as a Mayweather fan, I didn't put "(undefeated)" in there, and neither the "(only undefeated heavyweight)" on Marciano... I just pasted it in so there is nothing biased on my part.
Anyway I would like your opinions, so... discuss!!
