9 and 10 are amazingly ****** that it's not even funny, at the absence of Charles as well.

Hagler beat a guy called Roy Jones.

One might call him Roy Jones Sr.

(It was Roy Jones' dad)

[B]Jack Dempsey's record and stature in boxing speaks for itself. I won't agitate myself to elaborate beyond that.

Does he have another record we don't know about?

One that isn't almost totally mediocre competition and losses to guys he shouldn't have lost to?

In no particular order & we're talking primes only...
You know it's really kind of hard to compare fighters pre '30's to the modern era IMO...

Joe Louis
Julio Cesar Chavez
Thomas Hearns
Sugar Ray Leonard
Muhammad Ali
Larry Holmes
Roberto Duran
Mike Tyson
Rocky Marciano
Sugar Ray Robinson

Haha, I just thought it was a guy with the same namesake.

...And yes I know Archie Moore, Benny Leonard etc are missing but lists are straight up brutal

They're brutal only when limited to 10. I once saw a top 10 list with 20 items - there was a tie of two at each rank level...

[Panamaniac]

I used to have a top-10 Heavyweight list in my sig and I had Louis at #2. I never put Heavyweights on p4p lists.

Poet

That's right! But I forgot who you had at #1.

As for Holmes...

You do realise using KO ratios or a fighters jab to defend a fighters ranking is bordering on the ******est thing ever...

Bordering?! You're way too kind. I own-up to being ******, including the 20 successful defenses to defend Holmes' ranking. Now that you know I'm ******, anything else I might say is hardly worthy of comment by the likes of you.

And yes, I refuse to elaborate beyond that!
