Almost none of you should have a top 100 ATG list

[Tamis!]

Been advocating the same call!

People spoke like they're immortal and lived since the inception of boxing!

I don't have one but I don't think that it is that bad to have your own list. I have a personal top 10 but 100 is too long to make. Credibility of the list will most likely be off but if you feel like making one, why not. It is healthy to read/watch old boxers, or just plain out enjoying this sport.

When i see ppl seriously debating this stuff and defending their opinions I have to laugh and expose the silliness which is based on nothing other than what they heard about old timers not what they have seen.

I honestly have not seen half of the fighters on most of these ATG lists. Maybe one day I will get to it, but to see enough of all these fighters to formulate any sensible opinion of them takes time and possibly time away from watching current fighters which is why I guess I never dug deep into those old poor quality vids.

Some great fighters there is absolutely no footage, the poster Jab thinks one should be able to read old newspaper articles and be able to rank.

Only one member should be allowed to have a 100 Top ATG.

It's the old wet fart jrosales13 who brags about knowing it all in the sport of boxing.

I think JRosales is like 26.

don't say that jrosales13 knows everything. Look at his post he's challenging everybody with his youtube knowledge.

Ok. I can see your point ( I believe you are referring to larryx thread) but it is fun when you see people debate it. . To each his own Spray.

And you think that anything written with no film footage has to be a lie or exaggerated. I don't see whats so hard about judging a fighter like Harry Greb based on his record, newspaper accounts and plenty of footage of his opposition. Doesn't take a giant leap of faith to conclude he was one of the greatest fighters ever.

Still ducking that list you said you would make?

I've seen enough footage of Greb to wonder how the hell we can rank these lists. He had a horrible stance, how am I supposed to believe he's going to beat most of the best fighters ever.

Then again he won 200 fights and beat Gene Tunney.
