    Your all time greatest top 10?

    Okay well after the dilemma earlier which was my poll on the greatest boxers of all time. Lets do it this way. It should avoid arguments.

    What is your all time top 10 greatest boxers of all time. It should allow us the chance to compare and contrast each others lists.

          Changes all the time though, Mayweather makes it in there with a couple more fights against top opposition. It hurts him not having fought a prime great. Ray Leonard is pretty close.

            I dont like lists like these because have any of us really seen someone like Henry Armstrong fight? These lists are irelevant unless youre a boxing historian and seen tapes, beacause then three quarters of everybody's list is going to be filled with dudes they never even seen fight. Plus theres nothing really to base it on, because for instance any top fighter today would beat a top fighter back then, so what are we judging.

              Yeah being that I've never seen many of the old fights I can't really make an accurate list everybody will agree with, but I will say that I think Marvin Hagler belongs somewhere in there.

                And i agree with it being bias. Because i like technical fighters. E.G Floyd. Obviously sugar ray robinson wasn't technical, he had great flurry combinations. Sure hes still number 1. But this shows how individual perceptions won't be the same. Leading to inaccuracy.
