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

[Larry the boss]

nope, that's my reddi account. i posted this on multiple sites.

so then why is the list different?? floyd is far above Manny on the reddit list..yet manny is above him here and Canelo is nowhere to be found on the list from Reddit

[inexperiencedfan0907]

so you copy and pasted a list and just threw in manny,floyd and canelo?

once again, the one on reddit was my first draft on my reddit account. i posted this on multiple sites so i could get a wider variety of feedback. this is just the version i posted here. it took me a lot of time to make this, please don't accuse me of stealing.

so what was the criteria that you used..because honestly I have seen this same list 100 times..you literally copied the list and added in 3 names..ill show you this same list from years ago

Why don't people mention fighters like Young Griffo...who had over 200 fights...68 of them draws. Or Dave Sands and Les Darcy. Is it because they aren't American or European?

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!

There's a lot of things wrong with that list but the most crucial thing wrong that I noticed was
Joe Calzaghe and above Roy Jones and hopkins aswell

The guy beat a prime kessler and a completely over hyped Jeff lacy...whoever else he fought was way past their prime or a complete tomato can

And Rock Marciano is way too high he was very similar around when competition was mediocre ...but hey at least he didn't duck anybody

Not a bad list at all mate. It’s obviously subjective so nobody is going to completely agree on a top 50, 10, 5 etc but I think most non-biased fans would agree that this is a fair list.

The longer you follow the sport, the more you’ll learn, I was naive as hell when I first started following boxing as a kid. The main thing about researching boxing is finding the accurate sources, the vast majority of the media have their own biases, vested interests and agendas.

I do agree. Calzaghe is the one name that stood out to me, he definitely isn’t a top 50 fighter IMO.

I often defend Joe on here, his resume is a lot better than people give him credit for but we’re talking about the best of the best of the best here and Joe simply isn’t in that conversation.

Well done mate.

I remember being 14 and coming up with lists like this... A lot less worries and much more time in life lol.

I think it's a really good, balanced list on a quick scan.

Don't grow up to be a d*ck like some of the people on here. Their just keyboard warriors with no life. Ignore them.

[YoungManRumble]

If there's one thing that boxing needs is more lists

[M312]

so what was the criteria that you used..because honestly I have seen this same list 100 times..you literally copied the list and added in 3 names..ill show you this same list from years ago

Get a life dude. The guys trying to learn the sport and is 14 years old. What's wrong with you?

Bet you're an absolute loser in real life.
