What do you think?

Floyd should be #1 SMH and Wlad should be over Lamotta, Pacquaio, and Holmes

What do you think?

I don't see how it isn't Leonard. If not, then he would be outside the top 10 which isn't possible.

I would have Manny at 8 ahead of and Lamotta and floyd at 6 ahead of Chavez sr.

Any word on who voted and who is 11-20?

They only did a top 10 list. This is how they describe it:

The question was raised early this year as a group of knowledgeable boxing people – writers, publicists and others who have been around the sport for many years – had dinner the night before a big fight in Las Vegas:

Who is the greatest living fighter, pound for pound?

The first name out of almost everyone’s mouth was Muhammad Ali, arguably the greatest heavyweight of all time and one of the best without regard to weight. “The Greatest” was truly the greatest.

Since that meeting, sadly, we lost Ali. So the answer to the question that was asked that evening in Las Vegas isn’t quite as cut and dry.

Who is it? Who is the greatest living fighter?

THE RING editors, with input from knowledgeable contributors, came up with a Top 10 list of best living fighters. We know our choices will spark debate – they did so among ourselves – but we feel they’re a good place to start.

Note: THE RING will release one result per day until Tuesday Aug. 9, when the greatest living fighter will be announced. On that same day, the November issue will be released in its digital format, within which this feature will appear in full.

And they also left out Roy Jones and B-Hop

What do you think?

Hard to argue with who is on the list. I'm sure we all would do some swapping around but a very good list.

What do you think?

Pacquiao is definitely above Lamotta and Whitaker and above Mayweather too. That shouldn't even be debatable, especially with regards to Lamotta.

Evander and Sr should both be above Hagler.

SRL is obviously number one.

Duran at 2 is acceptable.

[Sun_Tzu]

That's some bull****. I don't know how you miss that.

Unless they are putting him at #1 which Im ok with but then they would be leaving SRL off the list which makes this list complete BS anyway.

[soul_survivor]

No RJ? The hell?

why should a fighter who got KOd by Tarver and Johnson and whos best win is Toney (the rest of Jones resume is very thin) be above any of the top 10?

I can possibly understand ranking him above Lamotta but I dunno who else is alive atm so Jones may not get in the top 10 cos of some other names.
