The Floyd and Manny fans will no doubt lose their sh** and ruin this thread very shortly, but overall I’d say it’s a pretty fair list.

Ward and Canelo should both be higher IMO.

Marquez is maybe unfortunate not to make the list too. Not sure who I’d omit in his place though tbf.

I think Hopkins should be higher, definitely.

Canelo higher and I'd agree with you I'd have Marquez in there instead of Lomachenko.

Trying to think who else would be borderline.

calzaghe was robbed. he only needed 9 years to be the best of the last 25 years

[daggum]

also picasso will be added after he knocks inoue stiff at the end of this year

[RockyKO]

Joe Calzaghe should at least be a honorable mention.

[NihonJim]

Lomachenko shouldn't be in that top 10

[famicommander]

Kenshiro Teraji over Lomachenko. Super underrated.

Looking at the list, it seems they clearly value guys who spent time as #1 rated guy P4P. Like I’m a massive Roman Gonzalez fan, one of my top 5 favourite fighters all time, but can we really say he had a better career than Marquez?

I think the fact Gonzalez, Loma etc spent several weeks topping the list has earned them credit in regard to where they’ve been placed on the list.

I think Mosley would possibly be borderline. Donaire was the other guy I thought of. But again I think they are more prevalent as honourable mentions.
