No case whatsoever can be made of this lis list being valid.

WHile we as hardcore fans know this list is lacking, it has as much validity as any list on NSB. They are not as informed as us, but they also are not as biased as us either.

LOL @ everyone getting butt hurt over a mythological list based on opinions. Memo to all: your opinion is no better than any of the writers and or editors that put together their list or the fans who gave their opinions. Too many people on here just want to cry about Floyd and what he hasn't done, or look at fighters with power and or the brawlers then jump on that bandwagon. Boxing is comprised of various styles and or skills, stemming back generations, and different fighters have left different impacts. Just because you post here 10,000 times a year makes you no more qualified when giving your OPINION about who the 10 greatest P4P fighters were.

This list was decent and again, who knows if all of these fighters would have beat all the fighters not on the list - probably not - but when you look at who had a huge impact on the sport during their time, and who demonstrated the skills to boot, this list is pretty solid, IN MY OPINION.

fact of the matter is there is no official list and people act like it is impossible for current era fighters to even be top 20,yet some reason Joe Louis is suppose to be a certified top 10 fighter and he was know for fighting bums and non heavyweights..Had he been fighting now he would basically have a Wlad type resume

I wouldn't say Joe Louis is Top 10 but he'd likely be in my 20.

Of course he would have a Wlad like resume today because that's the best available at the moment but Louis' era was better than Wlad's.

I think the all time list should be decided by decades

e.g best boxer of the 50's 60's, 70's, 80's 90's 00's, 10's

Floyd has a case for the 00's

[kokingbill]

Looks better than the UK poll

Where Calzaghe?

That's what I was going to say haha.

[bojangles1987]

Not surprising. Casual fans are ******s in every sport.

Did the vote allow to choose your top 10 or just 1 fighter? Because most big boxing fans would choose SRR or Ali and would have no say in the positions below if they could only vote 1.
