    To be honest, no one here know's half the boxers that ever lived, watched them box or anything about their accomplishments. It's gonna be ass hard to make lists you agree of. But they could be better, with more people agree, but will that make it more right?

    But yes, these old fighters gets way too much credit. But many of them fought way more rounds, had smaller gloves and so on, so it's hard to compare to the fighters today.

      no L.Lewis wont be there. i heard sugar actually say he puts lennox just outside the top 100(when he was talkin to brian kenny) which is laughable

                One thing everyone should already know about Bert is that he knows EVERYTHING about the numbers and stats of boxers but always falls short when it comes to lists :/.

                  he obviously disregards actual footage of a fighter in an actual fight because if i'm certain there ain't **** on Greb and many others on this list
                  thats what i hate, the only footage of greb is him sparring and he looks ****, yh in his day he was better than most of the others but back then they were all **** compared to todays fighters, the technique is appauling, he would get schooled by any fighter today

                    Why, because it's not on youtube? How did Boxing ever survive the last 100 yrs without youtube or the internet
