Where do you have Rio Ferdinand in your ATG list?

[The Ox]

Congrats to Rio on accomplishing something not many fighters can, retiring undefeated.

Where do you have him in your ATG list?

2nd best British cruiserweight of all time maybe, Haye being number 1, then it's between Rio and Johnny Nelson for 2nd spot

Top 10 probably. I don't think he can rank ahead of Joe Mesi or Sven Ottke though. He's far better than the likes of Armstrong, Hopkins, Arguello, Lomachenko, Marquez etc; all those guys lost early and this guy went a whole career without losing. The most important thing in the sport.

He was a good defender!

[PsychoPat]

He's the lineal crusierweight champ in recess.

You can't claim to be undefeated if you've never even competed. The majority of mankind would be considered undefeated by that logic, and just like Rio they did NOT get their boxing license so can't consider themselves boxers. Does Rio have an amateur record? nope. Pro record? nope. A street fight even? nope.

#2.

The Charlie Z record is not going to be broken.

I heard they didnt grant him a licence to ensure the safety of other boxers

When you got that 0 you must be great
