    Complete and total unadulterated bs

    Mayweather 3? And Joe Calzaghe above Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns? Get the hell out of here with this BS it is obviously biased BS. Floyds best win was against a faded Delahoya a fight in which he struggled and he is third? He should be more like 11, Hearns 9 Hagler 8, and Duran 10 and Calzaghe something like 18-20.

      Any poll done today would favor modern fighters, or any athlete in any sport really on such a vote because there are people who just know now and there are always more of them than the people that know a lot about the past. Then you talk a sport like boxing where people only have a vaguest of ideas about some of the old names that are great while not knowing most of them all together, while newer fighters are right in front of them.

      Expecting more from such a list is not the fault of the people who made the list or the people that voted, it is non scientific and just for fun. Getting bent about such a thing is foolish~

      Plus it is an opinion based question~ thus you can't really be wrong how someone judges greatness is not a set standard no matter how people cry about certain things.

          Wow! I've seen a majority of the top ten boxers of ALL-TIME fight. What a farcical list. Joe Calzaghe doesn't make the top 100 list of fighters ALL TIME.

              Probably the greatest Olympic-type boxer ever. But a total joke in a professional ring. Tap. Hah! 1 point for me! Run run run. Tap. Hah! 2 points for me! Run run run. ding ding. Hah! 1 round for me!

                    This is hilarious considering all the brawlers mostly Mexican and world class trainers say he's one of the best...that kind of kills your logic dummy

The 2000s stardom limelight will never triumph the heart and courage of true ATG of the past. Media builds these guys up like superheros! Mayw? Calzag? Got to be kidding! In 20 - 50 years from now ppl wont have either guy anywheres nears the top!
                      Your smoking Ali been considered greatest since the 70s and floyd will always be top 10
