    I think Bert Sugar is one of the most respected boxing journalist ever and with that said his list should mean something. It's kinda sad to see that a lot of fans no so very little about the great fighters on this list . I'm not going to say that he is 100% correct but the people on the list all deserve a spot no matter the placement .

          I also don't see PBF, because he's an active fighter.

          Anyway if anyone that don't put Leonard in top 10, then I can take him seriously anymore.
          I agree Leonard is Top 10 easy.

            i dont take to much notice of lists compiled by historians or journalists.......
            they always try and be a bit controversial.......afterall if he agreed with the rest of us then he wouldnt be imployed would he?
            because anybody could do his job then
            take it with a pinch of salt

              The fact that Chavez is ranked higher than guys who are clearly better in the skill department is what people are raving about. Whitaker SHOULD NOT be below Chavez, ever. I dont think its chavez' ranking as much as people who are clearly better than him skillwise are above him. Which is rediculous.
              Skill wise! Is that what your beef is about, and other people beef!? ****en newbies. Chavez could box, he could jab, best inside fighter by miles from whitiker. Chavez has under-rated skills. The hate for Chavez is incredable, its amazing, you've said you're Puerto Rican so of course you're going to hate on Chavez, he destroyed all Puerto Ricans he's faced.

              Evander Holyfield led with his head, make a post about him being ranked to high.

              Pernal Whitker used a ton of fouls against Chavez, make a post about that, and also remind people how Whitiker didn't want the Chavez rematch unless Chavez first said he lost.

              Felix Trinidad make a post about him oh how dirty a fighter he was.

              Im not amazed at the hate Chavez gets, its the normal thing to do. Just proves that Chavez has beaten many peoples favorite fighters.


              Oh, and in case you forget this is boxing we're talking about not a game of manners.

                  My bad, not Castillo the featherweight, I think his name was Billy Castillo, Arguello fought him at 140 lbs.

                  Chavez also ko'd Castillo. And it was a tough fight for Sanchez. Remeber from what i heard and videos i 've seen they mention that Sanchez wants to fight Arguello but then Arguello move up in weight again, then of course Sanchez died.

                    I didn't see Hopkins in the list.

                    Make sure you make a post about Bernard Hopkins one of the dirtiest basterds to ever throw on a pair of gloves.

                    Oh, and whill you're at it complain some about Sandy Sadler, they say he was one who could be really dirty in a fighter -how dare he.

                      I think black jesus just meant that if you are a chavez fan, you should not complain about fouls, since jc was not exactly a saint himself.

                      I am sure you are smart enough to know that

                      1. whitaker schooled jc not just bcos of fouls

                      2. if jc managed to foul pea, he sure would have (if anything to slow him down) but pea was perfect that night: he neutralized one of the greatest offensive machines to ever step in a ring. hats off!
