(Random order)
Ray Robinson
Joe Gans
Harry Greb
Willie Pep
Sam Langford
Henry Armstrong
Jimmy Wilde
Archie Moore
Benny Leonard
Roberto Duran
Changes on a daily basis
(I could easily change 2 or 3 names on there for Charles, Fitzsimmons etc, depends on how I'm feeling)
If I put enough thought into making a fixed list longer then 10 I guess Ali would be around 16 - 18.Last edited by NChristo; 05-04-2010, 06:19 PM.Comment

ali is the better fighter in his prime since he had good footwork like robinson but also had amazing head movement....i could care less about some random quote by ali saying robinson was the greatest....ali in his prime>robinson in his prime....i can picture prime ali beating every heavyweight i cant do the same for robinson at welterweight or middleweight...Comment

Robinson can get any style, he would adapt and box or fight hard, he would always try to dominate, if not the first fight, then the second/third/fourth/fifth. Ali had one style, he was dominating boxing forward or backwards laterally, Robinson could actually push the action, he could be brutally violent, u can't say that about Ali, although Ali worked hard and was fast as hell!
i don't know, them at some same weight in some fantasy world, it's Robinson's aggressiveness that has the edge for me that would eat him up, his aggressiveness forward and backward, if u understand what i mean.Comment
