      did you watch the vid?I'm talking fighters who proved it going up in weight,i think of willie as a featherweight and thats it.joe was a heavy and so was ali.the idea for me has to do with fighters who moved up in weight.its a new way of thinking for me i guess.

          Ray Robinson defeated the reigning LW champion (who was the only man to defeat a prime Willie Pep) in a non-title bout, he was obviously great at WW and MW and was leading on all scorecards against the LHW champion for 13 rounds but lost due to extreme exhaustion.

          It's always between him and the Hammerin' Hank for me.

              First of all, where the **** is TYE FIELDS?! Ur P4P list is a disgrace if he's not on the top, let alone on it?

              Second of all, if you left Tye Fields off on purpose because he's above the P4P list, its actually pretty good.

                  My top 3 fighters of all time are:

                  1.Ray Robinson
                  2.Henry Armstrong
                  3.Muhammed Ali

                  1. Robinson defeated so many great fighters like Kid Galivan(Twice and who is the greatest welterweight besides Robinson( Lamotta, Fulmer, Basilo Turpin ect) and most of these guys is all bigger than he is as well. Moving up in weight at the time that the division is at its best is extremely impressive. He beat multiple world champions and greats that were in their primes in what was known as one of if not the best era of middleweights. You can also make a case that he was past his prime at middleweight. Robinson was in his peak at welterweight.

                  2. Armstrong once captured 3 titles in 3 different weight divisions and he did it within 3 weeks. He was very small for a welterweight at 5'5 and was a natural featherweight. He defended his title more than anyone else at 18 times in his busy two year reign. He beat worthy bigger men such as Barney Ross, Garcia, Ernie Roderick and Zivic.

                  3. Ali has beaten every great heavyweight that he fought while he was in his respective prime. His resume is probably the best of all time. Names like Foreman, Frazier, Liston, Bonevena, Tirrell, Ellis, Norton ect puts him as the greatest heavyweight champion of all time in my book.

                    the idea of almost holding half the belts is what made me put henry at 1.
