lets get some opinions going.

I'm going to get ripped on so hard for this.. Ali changed the game for sure at heavyweight. But i would put Lennox Lewis as best.

I think there would be a better fighter at cruiser weight. Holyfield was ok imho.

those are my thoughts.

Half those guys would get destroyed by Todays champs.

Better Training
Better Technique
More Competition creating the best (most bums get filtered thru Amateur system)
Less corruption.

Having Ali, Pep , Charles, Greb, Pep is a complete joke.

If you put in today's big dogs or the ones in last 10 years with them, they would get owned twice over.

Simple math and simple SPORTS Evolution. Boxing is only sport in history where the old geezers seem to think that Evolution doesnt effect it and some guy who fought 400 times in 1920 was some magical fighter when there were 1000x less Boxers in the world meaning less competition and lower level of competition.

Mike McCallum should be best light middleweight.

**sdcluser** · 09-09-2011, 02:43 PM

Archie Moore should be at light heavyweight.

**IronDanHamza** · 09-09-2011, 02:59 PM

Agree with most.

Would have McCallum at 154, Benny Leonard at 135, Carlos Monzon at 160, Joe Louis at HW few others I can't remember.

Definitely agree with Charles at 175, Holyfield at CW and Ray Robinson at 147.

I like this list a lot more than the recent boxing lists I've read on BR.
