      Disagree all you like....... no hints to who should be let out ??????............. it was a rush job.......... I considered Whittaker... maybe I'd replace Floyd with him...... I won't leave Pacquiao out UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

          Take a look at my top 20, I think Pac should be in the top 5, hes on a completely different level to Louis and so are the top 10 of my list.

            I just can't see how Lennox Lewis can be considered a greater fighter than Evander Holyfield.

            I also personally can't see him being the Top 5 fighters from 1986-present.

            But that's just me.

              Now that's a truly laughable list..... so you never saw Barrera Vs Pacquiao....... That is a list of your favourite boxers........ this is supposed to be about the best...... not about fanboy fantasy's ................. As John McEnroe once said,..."You Caaaan't be seeerious".

                I think as low as your #13 could be argued.

                I mean, for example Erik Morales, I can't see how Lewis is greater than Erik Morales.

                  H2H isn't everything Barrera>Pacquiao but styles make fights and Pacquiao has the perfect style to beat Barrera.

                      i flew through these. i'll probably kick myself for some omissions later.
                      and none of them are in order


                      if anybody wants to go through power i'd love to see people's selections.

                      i started to make one on pure talent, but it proved too difficult to whittle it down to five in a reasonable amount of time.
