Top 50 fighters last 30 years ie since 1984

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Watson beat Benn and that was basically it. Then got KO'd a few times too.

ok, thanks,, for whatever reason, i was thinking that he beat both of them circa 89-92

I think Collins beat Benn and Eubank

I still don't think that's as good as wins over Pascal, Abraham, Dirrell, Kessler, Bute, Groves, Taylor, Reid, etc.

Updated list with orlando, floyd and manny added

Replace Naz with Fenech
Replace Watson with Froch

[Scott9945]

No, not deliberate,, total brain fart on my part,, i have since added them



Good choices, I didnt completely ignore the lower weights, i got carbajal, lopez etc...
I cant have SRL on it, because since 1984 he was 1-2 with one great win over hagler, and two horrible losses



I added Canizales

While I agree with your not placing him, Leonard's actual record from 1984 on was 4-2-1. Wins over Howard, Hagler, and Duran. Losses to Norris and Camacho. And the infamous draw with Hearns.

Fenech should be on, but not sure about dropping Naz.... Froch will replace Watson on my next updated list

Yeah totally forgot about his run in the late 80s,,, realized after i reread my post.....

[Holywarrior]

Replace Naz with Fenech
Replace Watson with Froch

Fenech really? You think his career was better than Naz'?

Whitaker
Jones Jr

That's the best I can do for now going on memory, it just gets far too hazy at the bottom especially with a specific cutoff of 1984.

Hells yeah! Fenech was a beast. Naz had the skills but never lived up to his potential.

You're probably right in this respect. He did a lot of good work in so little fights. I don't put much stock into a win over a fat Nelson though (well, both were fat lol)

I think you nailed it for the most part..

I would have
Floyd n manny a little higher
Have toney a few spots higher

I'm not sold on donaire and starling just yet
