Jack johnson couldnt fight, he would smother and wrestle.

Ricardo Lopez above Mayweather....what a douche! I'm not even so sure about Whitaker above Mayweather, but I can let that slide.

Lopez dominated a division that really had nobody to fight. He moved up by 3-pounds eventually? Had like three fights there?

And Mayweather above De La Hoya?? WTF! Whitaker above Marciano?? Foster above Foreman?

**BIGPOPPAPUMP** · 05-15-2007, 01:14 PM

Also Hearns above Holmes and Conn at 16 is a REALLLLLLLLLLLY pushing it.

**GunStar** · 05-15-2007, 01:18 PM

This list is just as bad as the ESPN list, if not worse!

**Sin City** · 05-15-2007, 01:22 PM

This list is complete bull****.. Donald Hoskins isn't @ 1 and isn't in the top 50 at all!

Thoughts?

Not bad. I like that Duran and Charles are higher up. I hold those guys in high regard. I'd slot some of these other older fighters down a few notches in favor of some more modern fighters. I'd move Floyd into the top 30. I'd knock Oscar, Galaxy, and Cerdan off the list. I'd have Roy Jones in the top 30. I'd add Wilfredo Gomez to the list. I'd move Whitaker into the top 10 and Leonard just behind that. I'd move Jofre up ahead of Tunney. Blah blah...

Pretty solid though.
