    a 14-year old fan's terribly inaccurate top 50 alltime list

    hello everyone! i am a 14-year old fan who is just getting into boxing. i've done a decent amount of research into it, and i've compiled my opinion list of the top 50 boxers ever, ranked. please note that a lot of this is probably not going to be very good or accurate, since i'm kinda new to this. every single boxer on my list fought before i was born lol.

    anyways, without further ado:

    Oliver's Terribly Inaccurate Top 50:
    1. Sugar Ray Robinson
    2. Muhammad Ali
    3. Joe Gans
    4. Willie Pep
    5. Benny Leonard
    6. Joe Louis
    7. Henry Armstrong
    8. Roberto Duran
    9. Ezzard Charles
    10. Rocky Marciano
    11. Lennox Lewis
    12. Manny Pacquiao
    13. Sam Langford
    14. Carlos Monzon
    15. Sugar Ray Leonard
    16. Harry Greb
    17. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    18. Evander Holyfield
    19. Jimmy Wilde
    20. Gene Tunney
    21. Jack Dempsey
    22. Archie Moore
    23. Jack Johnson
    24. Joe Frazier
    25. George Foreman
    26. Marvelous Marvin Hagler
    27. Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
    28. Sandy Saddler
    29. Thomas Hearns
    30. Oscar De La Hoya
    31. Sonny Liston
    32. Floyd Patterson
    33. Joe Calzaghe
    34. Larry Holmes
    35. Jersey Joe Walcott
    36. Pernell Whitaker
    37. Mickey Walker
    38. Stanley Ketchel
    39. Roy Jones Jr.
    40. Emile Griffith
    41. Eder Jofre
    42. Bernard Hopkins
    43. Jimmy McLarnin
    44. **** Tiger
    45. Marcel Cerdan
    46. Tony Canzoneri
    47. Salvador Sanchez
    48. Canelo Alvarez
    49. Jake LaMotta
    50. Barney Ross

    it definitely needs much work, so i am open to and encourage suggestions and constructive criticism from you all. i tried my best, so i hope you like it. happy boxing to all!

      Bruh, did you seriously stole this post in reddit and claimed it as your own?

          It could easily be his own also posted on reddit.

          What were criteria of creating such list? Did you saw fights of every fighter on this list? Seems a lot like derivate of some "typical" lists. I would also avoid listing boxers which are still active in all time lists because it's hard to rank them when their career is still unfolding. But of course every list is subjective so good work!

              There are a lot of other little kids on this forum man, you'll fit right in.

              ****em, RobbieBarrett, Redeemer, Revelated, ShoulderRoll, Mammoth. Just look out for those guys, that's your crew on here. Some of them are probably even younger than you.

                  Rocky Marciano has a perfect record, but most wouldn't have him as the 3rd highest career HW on the list.

                  I wouldn't have Floyd Patterson in my top 50. I'd have Sweet Pea, RJJ, Hopkins above DLH. I'd add Tito Trinidad. I would probably have Bob Foster and Michael Spinks in there, both are in the discussion for best LHW of all time. People hold their HW stoppage losses against them but almost all the great LHWs who stepped up suffered a stoppage loss sooner or later. Tunney an exception but he retired after only 2 defences.

                  Overall though I wouldn't care too much what other people think. Just watch the fights, maybe read some books/articles to understand certain eras better, but if you end up with a list that other people think is ****, who cares? As long as you've seen the fights, your eyes are as good as theirs.

                      The baseline boxing knowledge around here is that of a 14 year old in most cases, so you're right on par, OP!

                          I was about to say the same thing. I tend to post the exact same thing in multiple places when I'm looking for an answer or feedback.
