        Ezzard Charles and Sam Langford being outside the Top 20 is close to a criminal offence.

        Pernell Whitaker , Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Marvin Hagler and Ray Leonard all way way way too high.

        But other than that, not bad.

          ?? Sam L is in my top 20.

          Pernell Whitaker and Jack Johnson were largely untouchable throughout their career. They may not have fought the most skilled guys but you can only fight guys in their era. I can see moving Johnson out of the top 10, something I've long thought of myself.

          Ray Leonard, sorry but I'm firm on him.
          If you can name me ten better fighters with better opponents (That they beat) then I may concede, but a it stands, with as little fights he had, he is a top 10'er EASY.

              Then the Klitschkos would be top 5

                Nah, Pep is undoubtedly the most overrated HOF'er ever. Ray Leonard fought way better fighters, beat better fighters. The best opponent Pep fought was Saddler, and he got whipped 3 out of 4 times.

                  Disagree on Pernell.

                  Also, is this a "whole career" list or a "prime" list?

                  Because if we have to consider the whole career, Roy Jones Jr. has tarnished his, sadly.

                    What about Pernell do you disagree on? It's based on their resumes as a whole, mainly performances against their best fighters at their optimum. All ATG's tarnish their careers near the end.
