      I like DLH and all, but all the guys he lost to were either ranked lower than him or not even on the list. Then JCC was higher than Oscar even though Oscar beat him twice. This list must have been made on different criteria than just boxing.

          I don't have much of a problem with that list. I mean you could argue some points and it's all objective but the top 10 are pretty good. I have no problem with Mike Tyson at #50 simply because like I have said time and time again, a fighter is only as good as the quality of guys he fought. Mike Tyson KO'd every bum out there but when he had to fight Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis (2 best fighters of his era) he lost and lost bad. Tyson was highly overrated.

          Oscar DeLaHoya is definitly higher than should be a Trinidad because DLH is a 6 different weight class champion and fought everyone. Trinidad not only lost to DLH (decision was BS) but retired in his prime and failed to fight the best fighters available.(i.e Mosley,Mayweather) Alot of the names on there are guys from yester year that I will be honest with you, I can't say yes or no either way because I never got to see them fight first hand.

          Ali and Robinson at 1 and 2, either way is fine with me. Roberto Duran higher than Leonard is a big question mark. Bernard Hopkins should be higher than Roy Jones Jr. no doubt. He held the title longer and Jones was much like a Tyson in that he didn't have much competition and lost to Tarver twice, tarnishing his legacy IMO.

          Like you guys said it is all objective but the list is not as bad as you say. You can't let personal feelings get in the way of your decision. Oh and by the way, Ricardo Lopez should be on that list without a doubt.

            Finito should be on the top 10 list aswell as Salvador Sanchez.

                      This is one of the worst lists I have ever seen. Whitaker is so low I just dont understand. Hes one of the best to ever do it. JCC doesnt deserve to be lower than Whitaker let alone 20 spots lower. Theres other mistakes that arent even worth mentioning. And for all of you complaining about Tyson. Him even being in the top 50 suprises me.
