RING's TOP 5 by the decade

[The Golden Boy]

Roy Jones Jnr. no. 2 for the 90's? Y'all musta forgot!

[eveningmass79]

And Barrera should be Top 5 for 00-09. And obviously Calzaghe out.

^^^ Agree 100%

[eveningmass79]

I wonder how close Ricardo Lopez came to making the list (for 1990-1999)?

[raf727]

Solid lists overall to be honest.

**** Tiger has to be in the Top 5 for the 60's, though.

Happy to see Carlos Ortiz getting some recognition aswell.

And Barrera should be Top 5 for 00-09. And obviously Calzaghe out.

yea replace barrera with calzaghe and its solid, calzaghe is one of the most overrated boxers ever....


but theres no objective standard in boxing, so its always just biased as to who your favorite was basically

im pretty sure my 90-99 list would be identical

[Chups]

Yes. There was a slight misunderstanding in that I rated the 20s in total and cut of rating at 09 for the last decade. It went as was and I enjoyed it.

Yeah, I saw your name in there....was surprised, didn't know you were in the RING mag. The bible of Boxing.

[Chups]

Hey cliff, where did you put flash elorde on the 60's? Just curious.

Pareng Kadyo, Flash Elorde is at number 10 in the 60's decade.

[BoxingGenius27]

Holyfield had one of the greatest runs in the late 90's. That was something special.

[Chups]

Its funny how Floyd gets so much heat for his layoffs yet Sugar Ray Leonard had far more layoffs than Floyd and his layoffs were much longer yet Sugar Ray got fighter of the decade. How do you lose to Roberto Duran, take three years off, barely beat Marvin Hagler, take another year and a half off, and get a draw against Thomas Hearns yet be the fighter of the decade?

Come on...he fought the best and won. Beat Duran, Hagler and Hearns. Floyd did not have an ATG opponent in his resume....besides...he's at number 2...what is there to complain about?

[Chups]

Can someone tell where the hell is Lennox and Tyson?

Tyson placed 7th in the 80's decade, while Lennox did not make it anywhere in the 90's.


7. Trinidad
8. Lopez
9. DLH
10. Norris <-----------WTF?

[daggum]
