The BEST 25 FIGHTERS OF ALL TIME

[grayfist]

Not a bad list, but Willie Pep deserves a higher rating, and where's Hagler and Holmes?

About Pep, I personally agree. About Hagler and Holmes, I don't know where they place them.

They stopped at 25.

Wouldnt u? I mean as far as Heavys go i rate Lewis Foreman Tyson and such higher and thats just heavy weights, uve still got Sweet pea, Chavez Hearns , Hagler ect to think about.

I'd rather see your opinions and keep mine to myself as I chuckel over the list and the responses.

Like I wrote in the thread starter the list has some surprises and reasons for discomfort.

Old school bias, any list without hagler and sweet pea is a joke. Bert Sugar can kiss the old farts asses as much as he wants, his opinion dont mean **** to me.

LOL, only 5 guys are from the 60's and above, these historians must be 80 years old. What the **** is wilde and walcott doing on it?
