Top 10 p4p boxers ever.

I think making an all time P4P list is a bit ridiculous. Because I have only been watching boxing since 86. I can however make a list of the best fighters I have seen during my time watching boxing. 1. Floyd 2. Roy 3. Pernell 4. Hopkins 5. Chavez 6. Tyson 7. Pacman 8. Lennox 9. Mosely 10. De La Hoya

1) 1988 Mike Tyson 2) 1986 Mike Tyson 3) 1987 Mike Tyson 4) 1989 Mike Tyson 5) 1991 Mike Tyson 6) Michael Spinks 7) Larry Holmes 8) Tony Tucker 9) Trevor Berbick 10) Razor Ruddock Honorable Mentions: Frank Bruno, Carl Williams, Mitch Green, Marvis Frazier, James Smith, Tyrell Biggs, Tony Tubbs, Pinklon Thomas

i stopped reding after he shit all over lennox wtf

Where the F#$k is Willie Pep? Was my first reaction. Then Armstrong and Benny. One of the worst lists ever.

P4P Champion: Ray Robinson 1) Pernell Whitaker 2) from here can start guessing....

article is about 4 years out of date.

what a shit list

worst list ever even carnivore could draw you up a better top 10 list than that

I'm trying to figure out which is most hilarious. Tyson at #10? Foreman at #9? Jones at #5? Chavez at #3? Or the fact that guys like Armstrong, Greb, Charles, and Pep are not even mentioned? I generally try to avoid doing/criticizing definitive lists as most research is always needed and it's so hard to rank a lot of fighters. But this one can be an exception. Or Langford or Benny Leonard... They not even mentioned in "Honorable Mentions" This is the funniest list that I have ever seen... I wonder if dude was really seriouslll

That list is hilarious... I beg your pardon?

That list is hilarious...

6 - Archie Moore - 181 wins, 24 losses, 9 draws and 1 no contest, 145 KO Looking at the record, it is easy to see why the "Old Mongoose" or "Ancient Archie" has made it to the list. Archie’s career spanned over 4 decades, and it the only fighter to have faced by Rocky Marciano and Muhammed Ali. Archie was a better Light Heavyweight than he was a pure Heavyweight. He had his light heavyweight title stripped from him twice because he was too busy fighting at a higher weight class. No other fighter has knocked out as many professional opponents as Archie. 5 – Roy Jones Jr - 49 wins, 3 losses, 38 KO This particular selection is highly debatable, and may end with Roy’s removal from the list completely. While there is no denying his talent, there is question as to if his showmanship and opponent section unfairly propelled him into his status. Winning a championship fight after playing paid basketball the same day was previously unheard of. As was becoming a champion at middleweight all the way up to heavyweight. Before his last two fights, Jones’ only defeat was a bogus call after he was disqualified against Montell Griffin, which he quickly avenged. Jones has at least warranted due considering, and an initial entry to the list. 4 - Joe (Brown Bomber) Louis - Won 68 Lost 3, 54 KO While there seems to be some dispute over whether 5 of his victories by KO were exhibition matches or not, there is a consensus not take seriously 2 of his 3 losses in failed comeback attempts. The last, and most humiliating defeat was an 8th round KO through the ropes by Rocky Marciano. The Brown Bomber was so much in debt, that he tried to come back well past his prime. The fact that so much cultural identify was thrust upon his shoulders, made Joe Louis not only one of the greatest pure fighters, but a true icon for America’s 2nd class citizens. Joe will be best known for his 1st round KO over Germany’s Max Schmeling in 1938. Schmeling beat the favored Louis in 12 years only a few years earlier. Even when Joe won the Heavyweight title by knockout, he refused to be called champion until he settled the score with Schmeling. It is this attitude that made him a national hero despite his color. 3 - Julio Cesar Chavez - Won 104 Lost 5, 2 draws, 80 KO Julio is a Mexican world champion boxer who won world titles in 3 different divisions. Among the world champions that Chávez defeated in his career are Edwin Rosario, Jose Luis Ramirez, Rocky Lockridge, Meldrick Taylor, Roger Mayweather, Sammy Fuentes, Héctor "Macho" Camacho, Juan Laporte, and Tony López. Chavez went 13 years before not winning a fight, with a draw to Pernell Whitaker, and it was another year later before he suffered his first defeat which was avenged 4 months later. Only in his last 8 years of his 24 year career did Chavez acount for 4 of his 5 losses to 3 different oppenents. He was able to avenge his lose to Willey Wise, but failed in second attempt to Oscar De La Hoya. 2 - Muhammed (Louisville Lip) Ali - won 56 Lost 5, 37 KO In my book, Ali will also go down as one of the greatest human beings of all time. As purely a boxer, only a “what could have been” during his 3 year lay off after refusing to go to Vietnam prevents him from being the best ever. He came back after 3 years to lose his first of three asking Joe Frazier. Both were undefeated at the time. The same happened with Ken Norton. In both cases, Ali came back to whup them in the next 2 fights. Although the two became friends later on, Ali is also credited with knocking Foreman out in the ring, out of boxing, and onto the pulpit. Leon Spinks got Ali during his declining years, but Ali still come back to beat him in 1979. What happened to Ali in the next two fights against Holmes and Berbick is eerily similar to what is happening now with Roy Jones Jr. In neither case, should those 2 fights be included into what was an otherwise spectacular career. 1 – (Sugar) Ray Robinson 179 wins, 19 losses, 6 draws, 2 no contests, 109 KO While many fighters have held that nickname over the years, none have been as sweet as Ray Robinson, whose real name was actually Walker Smith Jr. Robinson won the middleweight title an unprecedented 5 times. Even Muhammed Ali referred to Sugar Ray as the greatest fighter ever (it is rumoured that Robinson actually refused to give Ali an autograph when Ali met him while Ali was still young, and Clay). Unlike Moore, the majority of Robinson’s losses came at the end of his career. Honorable Mention Floyd Mayweather Jr - 32 Wins, 0 Losses, 21 Knockouts Now regarded (arguably) as the best active pound for pound boxer Roberto Duran - 103 Wins, 16 Loss, 69 Knockouts He will forever by scarred by his 8th round quit job on Sugar Ray Leonard. Evander (Real Deal) Holyfield - 38 Wins, 7 Losses, 2 Draw, 25 KO Was undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion of the world. He also was the man that destroyed the aura that was Mike Tyson. He will have his place in boxing history, but not as one of the greatest ever. (Smokin’) Joe Frazier - 32 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw, 27 KO Also one of the most feared fighters ever, but 2 losses to Ali and Foreman will keep him off this list. Thomas Hearns - 59 wins 4 Loss 1 Draw, 46 KO AKA "the Hit Man" and "the Motor City Cobra", Hearns won seven world championships in six weight classes during his 22 year pro career. But losses to Leonard (his first ever) and Hagler will keep him off the list. Bernard Hopkins - 45 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw, 1 NC, 32 KO More so than Hagler, Hopkins had a slow start to his career. When he finally won the belt, he has defended against the best of the 90’s and 2000. He may end up considered in the 10 top yet. http://ezinearticles.com/?TOP-TEN-Pound-4-Pound-Best-Boxer-Ever&id=25070
