I don't see Mark Gastineau on your list. While some would debate wheter Gastineau belongs in the top ten of a p4p fighters, there is no top 50 list without Gastineau that can be taken seriously. You need to rethink your list.
SRR drew with a poor journeyman in his absolute prime aged 27. Imagine how that result would go down today? And the fact is, the draw flattered him. Tyson Fury is the best HW ever by a distance and he is not even on your garbage list. Boxing is not for you kid. Nash out.

Very good list. For someone who is 14 years old, you have a lot of knowledge about boxing.
SRR drew with a poor journeyman in his absolute prime aged 27. Imagine how that result would go down today? And the fact is, the draw flattered him. Tyson Fury is the best HW ever by a distance and he is not even on your garbage list. Boxing is not for you kid. Nash out.
John L was crowned world champion on a draw....times change.

Times have changed but on the whole boxers from eras gone by get judged on a far more lenient level than current day greats, so by default, they get rated higher, which to me, is an unfair system. Nash out.

Just on sacks alone! Maybe Alonzo Highsmith also, just on the Miami connection and the sheer width of his lats.
