Top 100 ATG - My Personal List

This is my personal list of top 100 All Time Great Boxers. personally i use this criteria: 80% accomplishment and historical significance - this invloves fights with the fellow all-time greats, titles held, punching power and boxing skills displayed, dominance and longetivity. 20% timeliness and contribution to the growth of the sport- this also includes mainstream popularity. Tyson is great but his legacy suffers because it can not stand the test of time. Monzon's longetivity is matched by hopkins thus monzon's rankings would go down. henry armstrong legacy of jumping in weight in a year is unmatched of more than 50 years...thats so long and he deserves to be in the top 2 ATG.

harada beat a well drained jofre via SD in japan

Harada is an amazing fighter. Truly amazing. He was one of the few main unified world champs who was utterly undisputed for a long time. He's the only guy to beat the legendary Eder Jofre, and he did it twice! He has also beaten the great Pone Kingpetch (who beat the great Pascal Perez, also twice), among many others. That's a lot of really fine fighters. He's most often underrated by people. He is a brilliant fighter and well deserving of his place. I don't think he's one of the guys on the list that you can say is not deserving of that high a place because he has earned it, but opinion could have him lower and most often does, though it's not at all wrong. he beat a weight drained jofre by SD in japan

give respect to pac..he may not be great h2h with other legends but the guy comes all the way from flyweight. it's like tommy hearns being a featherweight champ..

Mayeweather is too high on your list. Harada is way to high. Still once you go about 20 deep it gets hard with these lists, so to each their own. Harada is an amazing fighter. Truly amazing. He was one of the few main unified world champs who was utterly undisputed for a long time. He's the only guy to beat the legendary Eder Jofre, and he did it twice! He has also beaten the great Pone Kingpetch (who beat the great Pascal Perez, also twice), among many others. That's a lot of really fine fighters. He's most often underrated by people.

Nice list, bro. Did you use a special modeling software to contruct your list (to work out the percentages and what not) or just plain Microsoft excel? If so, can we see it? it's not that scientific..i just list the top fighters per division and from there work my list. i consider resume, longetivity, dominance(talent). i start elaluating it when the boxers is already a contender and until the point the boxer is still elite in that era (probably top 100 p4p before the fight) thus the loss of delahoya to pacquiao still has merit in his rankings bec he is still top 100 p4p that time

he should be no higher then where he's at (87). he's lucky to be on the list biased fat yank. calzaghe is 46 and 0.

Overall, it's a very good effort I'd say. Some of the guys I think are too HIGH - Julio Cesar Chavez - Ricardo Lopez - Rocky Marciano - Jack Dempsey - Manny Pacquiao - Salvador Sanchez - Bernard Hopkins - Floyd Mayweather - Manuel Ortiz - Panama Al Brown - Khaosai Galaxy - Carlos Zarate - Pancho Villa - Eusebio Pedroza - Lennox Lewis - Marcel Cerdan - Jack Johnson Some guys I think are too LOW - Holman Williams - Emile Griffith - Tony Canzoneri - Carlos Ortiz - Luis Manuel Rodriguez - Gene Tunney - Jimmy McLarnin - Jose Napoles - Miguel Canto - Tommy Hearns * Khaosai Galaxy shouldn't come close to a top 100 list. His resume is way too thin and is definitely not as good as others in his weight region such as Hilario Zapata, Sung Kil Moon, Gilberto Roman, Jiro Watanabe, Nana Konadu, etc. * Luis Manuel Rodriguez and Carlos Ortiz have great resumes and should be higher, especially Rodriguez. * Holman Williams should be above Marcel Cerdan * Jack Johnson shouldn't be above Ray Leonard * Emile Griffith should NOT be behind Floyd Mayweather (same goes for Hearns being behind Pacquiao) But like I said, great effort and an excellent list!

IMDAZED

you'd be surprise, but to me gatti would be in the HOF. but his resume, is not worthy of top 250 i based my criteria, on how the nba select his 50 greatest players, notice that they put emphasis on how the player contributes on the development and advancement of the sport. it's only 5% and i only used it to resolve close accomplishments. dela hoya and trinidad accompishments are almost the same. the popularity seems to be the tie breaker of the two..also the same reason why leonard is ahead of monzon and sweet pea. accomplishment wise, i thought pernell and monzon did a little bit more than ray leonard. I hear you. It just feels a little weird to decide the better of two boxers by who's more popular.

I notice when you're breaking down how you measure fighters with all these percentages you don't mention pure skill/talent? if i was to break it down into a percentage like you do i would do like, 50% Accomplishment, 35% Talent and 15% Impact i like that criteria. i put accomplishment and talent together..it's 80% i would like to ask you how would you categorize the joe louis reign as the longest HW champ ever? is it part of accomplishment-50% or impact-15%
