and sugar ray leonard and julio cesar chaves and dont forget roy jones and trinidad should be right up there toofront

[FUMIN 88]

i dont see whats wrong with Duran being in the top 10 he is the best lightweight ever fought everyone moved up fought everyone and so on i think duran is more than worthy of 6th place

Tyson higher? are you joking to be in the top 50 ATG you need to have beat atleast one elite fighter Mike was never up to the task of doing that

Lenox Lewis should be on there

and B-hop and DLH shouldnt even have been considered

[Panamaniac]

This list is very irritating. Sweet pea should be way higher. RJJ should be way higher. Lewis should be on there. JCC should not be that high. Roberto Duran should not be at 6 etc...

You're right, Durán should be at 5th.

[2501]

floyd should be alot higher

alot higher. I wont dispute it that much because i dont have all the knowledge needed to make a list like that. but what i do know is that Floyd has accomplished enough now at this point to atleast be in the top 30.

[Jim Jeffries]

Ali Was Better Then Robinson.. No Heavyweight Ever Will Have A Resume Like Ali...shavers, Foreman ,fraizer, Norton, Liston, Cleveland Williams. Ron Lyle... Any One Of Them Would Be Champion Today

Earnie Shavers? Please, Jerry Quarry knocked him out in the first round. And no "washed up" excuse, Shavers was 28.

Earnie Shavers? Please, Jerry Quarry knocked him out in the first round. And no "washed up" excuse, Shavers was 28.

Shavers also KO'd Ken Norton in the first round, KO'd Jimmy Young, Roy Williams and Jimmy Ellis, gave an old Muhammad Ali a very hard fight and almost knocked out Larry Holmes.

Jerry Quarry was a tough fighter with decent power although he was small for a heavyweight, Shavers was barely hit before that fight because most of his past fights had ended in the first few rounds.

Shavers started at a late age and was at his best in his 30's. 74 wins, 68 KO's. His power makes him a threat to anyone.

Wlad was 26 against Sanders, 28 against Brewster.
I'm not comparing the two skillwise, Shavers had obvious flaws, a suspect chin, bad conditioning and average skills but he has had his good days, he went 15 competitive rounds with Ali without tiring badly.



I can see Shavers beating Maskaev and Ibragimov. Hell, Maskaev himself was knocked out by McCall, Goofi Whitaker and Kirk Johnson.

[Piggu]

That's the worst list I've ever seen.

[The Hammer]

I agree with Duran being in the top ten, but Rocky Marciano, Harry Greb and Gene Tunney all should be top ten as well. Benny Leonard is ranked too high, those three should be ahead of him.

And Joe Calzaghe should replace B-Hop in the top 50.
