Man thats a tough one Trinidad, Tyson, Holyfield, Barrera, Jones, JCC, cant say much about the past fighters because that wasnt my era

If anyone chooses RJJ, Tito, Duran, Sanchez or Wilde they're nuts.

ohh................the greatest fighter who ever lived...cant say much about that other than some old clips and things ive heard...its sugar ray robinson

**Derranged** · 08-30-2008, 11:34 AM

Vinnie Maddalone. Every fight he lost was robbery.

There is no single greatest fighter.

All the names in the poll were great!

But Rocky Marciano and Gene Tunney should have been there.

No its only matters when there in there prime, so tito cleared out the welter. lightmiddle and nearly done middle in his prime, he was considerd pound for pound number 1 when he was in his prime so he is a good choice

Yeah i agree i should of put tunney how can you argue with 3 wins over greb, in one fight he actually carried greb, that came from grebs mouth not tunneys and 2 wins over dempsey. Great fighter tunney

I wouldn't have Trinidad on that list at all. He was never a great boxer, just a great puncher with mediocre boxing skills.

Ray Leonard should be on that list, dunno why he isn't, and like Tunney just said...you can't pick a "greatest of all time", it's impossible. You can have an ATG list, but even then, there's no way you can put them in any sort of numerical order without bias.

Tito was all time great in his prime he cleared out 2 divisions
