BoxingScene's members top 10 P4P all-time

[RubenSonny]

While I don't rate Moore as highly as you, he is creeping up my list all the time. What a great resume of fighters he fought!

I think hes hard to rate, he had runs of brilliance and some bad losses (Booker, Burley, especially Morrow).

[IronDanHamza]

I think Archie Moore has a very strong case for a top 10 ATG.

Who do we think also has a strong case for this status? Other than the obvious names.

More like, could be Top 10, but not quite.

Leonard....

I read the first few pages of the thread and a few people with decent lists had Floyd Mayweather in thier top 20 or even top 10. Quite strange.

Also notice how there is very little mention of Manny Pacqiauo back in 2008. And even a good poster like Jab said he most likely wouldn't put him in his Top 50.

Ohhh how times change

This just shows that the guy that is considered 'that guy' at the time is so vastly overrated during their reign as currently the best fighter in the world. I've seen it happen so many times.

Yeah for sure, I remember people calling Jones the GOAT after the Ruiz fight

You missed the Chavez and Tyson days bro.

I've come across enough nuthuggers to guess

Tyson was especially thought of as a much better fighter than his career indicates as fighters who are explosive often are. On 1989 he was considered the best p4p fighter in the world even though JCC, Whitaker, Nunn and Azumah Nelson were some of the fighters beneath him on that list. And while I rank him highly at heavyweight, p4p is another story.

Whitaker? Ray Leonard maybe? Monzon? Lopez? If Hagler kept fighting after Leonard then I could see him cutting it close as he arguably beat everybody in his era if you count the Leonard fight which the boxing world is notoriously split on. I would put Ali in mine since I have him #1 Heavyweight.

I'm kind of curious to see where Jersey Joe Walcott ranks among you guys. I really enjoyed watching all the old fights I could find on him a week or 2 ago.

I love watching Walcott fight. His footwork and style are just so impressive and he has a strong resume. I think I'll bump an old thread I had about him if I can find it.
