I was hoping that Trinidad (my favorite fighter of all time) would make my top 50. But, I really coldn't put him ahead of any of this guys

Leonard at 12 and Hagler at 41? Are they that far apart? I think Duran beats Leonard in a pound for pound sense aswell. It doesn't really matter though, it's your opinion. Every list can be argued depending on what weight you perceive certain fighters achievements to carry.

[jrosales13]

Duran's too low.

Hopkins is above guys he shouldn't be. Is he the best MW of all time to you?

I think Floyd should be on there personally...

All in all decent list though. Those things are really hard to do, and that's not too outrageous at all.

I love Duran, I think my top 10 is set, but I was thinking aout Duran on #11. So I kinda agree with you. But, the image that got stuck to my head. Was the Hearns fight. And, how he got destroy in 2 rouns. And, then I was thinking tht wouldn't happen to Whitaker, I think Jimmy Wilde who is small but P4P probably the hardest puncher of all time would of atleast hurt Hearns. And, I see nobody KO'ing Leonard like that in 2rds. So that is why I list him on 14. It was hard bro.

I don't think Hopkins is the greatest MW. But, I think he is top 3-top 5 greatest MW of all time. But, the reason I put Hopkins ahead of Monzon and Hagler. Is that both Hagler and Monzon fougth their whole career at MW. While. While Hopkins has had some good success at a higher weight aslo not just MW. If it was just a MW list I probably would have B-Hop but in P4P sense I do. If Hagler and Monzon would of had any kind of success at a higher weight. Then I would of put both ahead of Hopkins.

Hagler and Holmes should be above Hopkins, Roy Jones should also be there. It really does not sit well with me how anyone could have Marciano above Holmes.

terrible list..how is whitaker ahead of sugar ray leonard??and how is pacman #29 and floyds not on the list at all?and jack johnson#9???r u serious??and willie pep over joe louis???lmfao

[jrosales13]

I think that list is solid. I would have put Roy in there somewhere and Ray ahead of Whitaker

I wouldn't argue with Ray ahead of Whitaker. I think in that spot you splitting hairs really. Is very close IMO

[larry x]

and how is roy jones not on the list but hopkins is???

[DLT]

Pac is 29 but Floyd cant make the top 50? Some say that RJ is the greatest theyve ever seen but he cant make the top 50? Hagler 41?

[jrosales13]

Trinidad is better than a lot of your picks, how can you be 25 years old and know Gavilan is better than Trinidad? makes no sense, im 31 been wathchin the sport since late 80s and I cant call that one either way, or holmes over Tyson,... Have you seen Trinidad Fights? I would like to reffer you to any of his fights from 93 to 2004, even his losses and you will see

I mentioned Trinidad is my favorite fighter of all time. So yes I have seen him. I was in the arena when he beat Maurice Bocker to win the title. I been following him ever since. He is the one who made me a hardocore boxing fan. But, Kid Gavillan IMO is in the top 5 greatest WW of all time along with Robinson, Armstrong, Leonard, and Mclarnin. I think everybody agrees that Robinson is the greatest fighter of all time. Gavilan fought a prime Robinson who by the way was the closest thing unbeatable you could get. And, Gavilan hung in there and lossed a very controversial decision. In the rematch he gave Robinson hell. That how good he was that he could hang in here with the G.O.A.T. Gavilan also holds win against guys like Ike Williams, Gll Turner, Billy Graham, and Beau Jack.

Tyson did not have the longevity for me to put him ahead of Holmes.

[jrosales13]

Jake La Motta is to high? You have Hopkins but not Roy Jones Jr?
Does Bob Fitzsimmons really belong?

Lamotta was the only fighter to beat Robinson in his first 135 fights and the only fighter to beat Robinson in his 20's. Lamotta holds win over Friztie Zivic, Tommy Bell, Tony Janiro, and bob muprhy. I think Lamotta has very underrated boxing skills he could at rolling punches.

I think B-Hop overall has a bette body of work. And, also I myself hold lineage championship very highly. And, what I found weird about Roy Jones is that out of all the belts that he won. He was never ever the Linear Champion. Not once. So if you look he was never the real champion.

And, I think Bob Fitzsimmons belongs. He is the only fighter who has won. THE Middleweight champion. And, THE Heavyweight champion. Only guy ever.

[jrosales13]

Hagler and Holmes should be above Hopkins, Roy Jones should also be there. It really does not sit well with me how anyone could have Marciano above Holmes.

I think as a MW Hagler should be ahead of Hopkins. But, in a P4P sense I got Hopkins over for the reason that proved he could have success at a higher weight-class. Hagler didn't.
