      What about Lennox Lewis? I'd put Sugar Ray Leonard further up the list.

        Yeah, I agree. That list sucks pretty bad. I disagree with about 80% of it.
        And yes, Lennox should be on there too.

                So JCC is ahead of Whitaker, and Hagler? GTFO. I think its a decent list, but you have got to be ****TING me. I wish I had the time to do my own top 50, but I don't. It's not TO bad, but I would make some changes in the order of the fighters.

                  Wow that list ****ing blows.
                  I bet Bert Sugar was a big part of compliling that list, he hates newer fighters and loves old school fighters who clearly were not as good.
                  Roy, Floyd and Pernell should be higher, Duran does NOT belong at 6, JCC at 24 is absolutly laughable.
                  Hagler at 35?
                  Hopkins at 47?
                  Tyson AND Holy ahead of Lennox?!?!

                  Man ESPN needs to get a clue.

                    List was compiled by freelance contributor Kieran Mulvaney and did not represent either ESPN's stance or that of other contributors to the Worldwide Leader.
