    I do it differently. I rank the best fighters as the ones who win H2H.

    I suppose the problem is that the term 'greatest' is open to interpretation.

    So you have answered my question as to why people were ranking like they were, so cheers for that.

      Have you seen them live? Did you live in those times?

      Articles and grandfather stories dont count.

      Lol at people listing Roy Jones.

      Jones had 3 decent wins at MW - an old Castro, a green Hopkins, and Thomas Tate....

      Greb might not have footage, but it stands a fact that he was fighting LHW's as a MW and that he went out of his way to fight black fighters.

        Lol @ anyone seriously putting GGG in a top 5.
        Yeah GGG hasn't earned that recognition yet. But if he does beat Jacobs, Saunders, and Canelo this year, his resume at MW would be as good or arguably better than Hopkins. But I don't consider Hopkins a top 5 MW either.

          ....very tough to leave Burley out on any list, terrific competitor.

            Never mind middleweight Grebs arguably the greatest of all time. (Certainly he is going by resume) Sure there's no footage but no one beat more greats and hall inductees than Greb. Greatness is judged on who fighters beat and when they beat them more so than how good they look on film. GGG looks good on film but who the **** has he beat?
