Top 50 All Time Greats!!

[Flawless.]

How is JCC ahead of Pernell.

[hammerhiem]

Let me put it this way only half of thier top ten are in mine and one of my top ten is as low as 35...

So I don't really agree with them.

2. Ali
3. Joe Lewis
4. Archie Moore

6. Jack Johnson
7. Duran
8. Hagler
9. Holyfield
10. Locche

I don't expect Locche to apear on many peoples list but I have a book on him that my dad gave me, the guy was a legend.

he's my wildcard if you like.

Lol... Oscar ahead of Pernell Whittaker?

The list actually isn't that bad. I just can't get over ODLH being at 39.

Oscar is not top 50, no ****ing way. Even Trinidad is higher than DLH for me. I mean Trinidad had better wins. Lol at Oscar above Whitaker. jajaj Your right, thats nonsense.

I know I will get jumped by many in here, but People from back in the day get to much credit. There are a lot of fighters that are ATG that wouldnt even made it to the top P4P in this era.

prewar maybe, but you are looking at guy's who fought 10 times a year and they where 15 rounders.

Locche for example fought over 120 times, and back in those days the divisions while maybe not as (Argueably) strong where much much deeper.

These days by the time you get past 10 on most weigths they aren't of any standard at all, I think for example that even a shot RJJ could beat all of the 11-20 LHW's with little trouble at all and push if not beat all the 6-10.

Boxrec has some random khazakstani with 7 fights in the top twenty...

Well, I was pretty bored and thought I would search 'boxing hall of fame' into Google to find the top 10+ all time greats list... I found this list on a website claiming it was the ESPN top 50 list;

50. Mike Tyson
49. Erik Morales
48. Floyd Mayweather Jr.(undefeated)
47. Bernard Hopkins
46. Roy Jones Jr.
45. Carlos Monzon
44. Pernell Whitaker
43. Marco Antonio Barrera
42. Alexis Arguello
41. Ted "Kid" Lewis
40. Evander Holyfield
39. Oscar De La Hoya
38. Larry Holmes
37. Thomas Hearns
36. Eder Jofre
35. Marvin Hagler
34. Emile Griffith
33. Ruben Olivares
32. Jose Napoles
31. Billy Conn
30. Terry McGovern
29. Sandy Saddler

24. Julio Cesar Chavez
23. Jimmy McLarnin
22. Barney Ross
21. Tony Canzoneri
20. George Foreman
19. Stanley Ketchel
18. Archie Moore
17. Mickey Walker
16. Gene Tunney
15. Jimmy Wilde
14. Rocky Marciano (only undefeated heavyweight)
13. Harry Greb

9. Jack Dempsey
8. Jack Johnson
7. Benny Leonard
6. Roberto Duran
5. Willie Pep
4. Joe Louis
3. Henry Armstrong
2. Muhammad Ali
1. Sugar Ray Robinson

I was just wandering if everyone agrees with the list, and if anybody thinks some people should be higher or lower in the list, or not in it at all? Discuss.

By the way as a Mayweather fan, I didn't put "(undefeated)" in there, and neither the "(only undefeated heavyweight)" on Marciano... I just pasted it in so there is nothing biased on my part.

Anyway I would like your opinions, so... discuss!!

No Lennox Lewis and Salvador Sanchez...

[rorymac]

Remove Barney ross!! for hatton? the guy who was taken to school and was given a boxing clinic by floyd deserves to be a top 50 all time great LMAO.

I was joking...

[rorymac]

But Barney Ross still shouldn't be there, all he did was lose to Henry Armstrong.
