Who's #1: Best Boxers.

That list is hilarious. Duran at 15? That made me laugh. More like number 5.

[QUOTE=Smokin'] Good list Mass Pride. I noticed that quite a few of the ESPN list didn't make it on yours, especially some of the heavys: Tyson, Holmes, Holyfield, Foreman, etc. What about a guy like Floyd Mayweather, Jr. When all is said and done will he make that list??

** Too much ESPN'll dumb ya down son. ESPN don't know boxin, but they do like to trot out beauty contests.

It's going to be tough to make that list.But Floyd appears to have the skills to do so.He just needs to step up the compeition.He's still young though!

Last night I was watching ESPN and they had an episode of who's #1.
For anyone who hasn't seen the show, it's basically a countdown show where different writers, historians, analysts, etc. weigh in on who was the best of whatever category: whether it's boxer, football dynasty, etc.
The list according to ESPN of Who are the top twenty boxers of all time is:
20. Holmes 10. Foreman
19. Chavez 9. Hagler
18. Holyfield 8. Leonard
17. Tunney 7. Johnson
16. Tyson 6. Armstrong
15. Duran 5. Dempsey
14. Jones, Jr. 4. Marciano
13. Pep 3. Robinson
12. Moore 2. Louis
11. Frazier 1. Ali

Just curious what everyone thinks (especially you mass pride).

Too many heavyweights. Jones Jr. is too low. Tunney, Marciano, Johnson, and dempsey shouldn't be on the list.

johnson shouldnt be on the list? wow i thought u wouldnt say that, he was way ahead of his time so i think that should come into consideration too...but i agree pretty much with the 2nd guessers at the end of the show...armstrong and srr # 1 and 2 belong to them
