    Froch and Johnson above Calzaghe???

    Lewis below Toney? Really? LOL

    MAB and Morales below McCullum?

    I know lists are often subjective and there is variation between people but this just looks horrible.

    I'll give it a go so I'm not just talking out my arse and am actually making an effort:

    1. Chavez Sr.
    2. Hopkins
    3. Pacquiao
    4. Whitaker
    5. Lewis
    6. Holyfield
    7. Oscar DLH
    8. Mayweather
    9. Barrera
    10. Trinidad
    11. Tyson
    12. Jones Jr.
    13. Morales
    14. Toney
    15. Leonard
    16. Hagler
    17. Calzaghe
    18. Eubank
    19. Hill
    20. McCallum
    21. Spinks
    22. Wlad
    23. Mosley
    24. Froch
    25. Naz


    It's pretty hazy post Eubank, for me, Hill/Mcc/Spinks/Wlad could all change places as good Mosley and Froch.

    Camacho and Naz could swap around too, with HC sneaking into the top 25.

    The top is pretty much a lock for me, although I can see people having a different order but those are the names that define the last 30 years of boxing.
    Good post over all, no need to get confrontational.

      was just talkin bout ur list but i get what ur sayin, thats why i made my own list, didnt want to criticise without makin the effort to post something of my own.

      I hate it when guys post a list as bad and then dont post their own.

      might be expanding to 50 but its just too much work.

        I agree. I feel Mccallum is very underrated. Greater than MAB or Morales? Hmmm

          Noway, MAB and Morales are true greats, probably top 50. McCallum, for all his achievements and skills isn't near them.

Spinks is one of the five or six greatest light heavyweights of all time. Completely untouchable in his prime, and moved up to become heavyweight champ for nearly three years.
              Unfortunately the lasting image the vast majority seem to have of Spinks is the 88 second lay down against Tyson.
