By Cliff Rold - For any new boxing fan, the time is not long before a fellow fan points out a magic number which grows more mythologized with time: eight.

They were divisions marked by single champions ever challenged by a depth of contenders today’s seventeen weight classes rarely know. [Click Here To Read More]

WHAT?????? Harry Greb ahead of Sugar Ray Robinson......this list is not credible...BS you let me down -
I have Ketchell one at %5 but overall great list the only problem I have is not having Lamotta in the top 10... I have him in my top 10. Am I overrating him?Comment

The more u read on Greb the more you respect him. How many fighters can win fights consistently with one eye? Greb in one year fought 44 times and beat guys like Gene Tunney and Mickey Walker. Also they are comparing them as middleweights and not overall. Robinson's greatest accomplishments were as WW and he is still overall greater than Greb but it can be argued that Greb was the better MW, the guy fought Tiger Flowers in a tought 15RD fight with one blind eye, that is crazy sick.Last edited by HaglerSteelChin; 01-04-2010, 01:44 AM.Comment
