Poet's top 20 P4P

['Sugar' Freddi]

This is not really a thread to flame you, Poet, but I just don't understand how you couldn't put fighters like Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Harry Greb, and Archie Moore on your top 20?

This is a list you posted in another thread:

01. Ray Robinson
02. Bob Fitzsimmons
03. Sam Langford
04. Roberto Duran
05. Henry Armstrong
06. Alexis Arguello
07. Benny Leonard
08. Ray Leonard
09. Pernell Whitaker
10. Ezzard Charles
11. Joe Gans
12. Roy Jones
13. Pascual Perez
14. Eder Jofre
15. Miguel Canto
16. Charley Burley
17. Marvin Hagler
18. Jimmy Wilde
19. Willie Pepp
20. Ricardo Lopez

It's his list he can put down who ever he feels like,doesn't mean it's a good list it's just his thought.

Where's ted the kid lewis ?

[Real King Kong]

i'm assuming micky ward would be at #21

[sonnyboyx2]

is it poets personal Top 20 favorite fighters? or maybe his opinion of the Top 20 greatest fighters which he is entitled to his opinion of... all lists are that persons opinion and they should not be ridiculed if others do not agree with their choice... Poets list above is a very good list and plenty of thought has gone into it, if he leaves out certain fighters i am sure he has his own reasons why he left them out but it is his choice to do so.

I think everyone's personal p4p list constantly changes with the addition of more knowledge regarding many fighter. Very subjective. That said, mine would include the 4 fighters you mentioned here, but to each his own.

[TBear]

All kinding aside(regarding previous post) Joe Louis and Ali Belong in the top ten of any all time p4p list.

[Vadrigar.]

IMO ALi and Louis belong in p4p lists. But others may differ.
