Well he is too low but he isn't top 10 or top 5 for certain.

So Roy Jones was as good or better than Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Henry Armstrong, and Willie Pep?

Yea that sucks didn't realize he wasn't on list he is legend just imagine if he wouldn't of died early there were talks of Sanchez vs Gomez 2 Sanchez vs Arguello shame

Too many glaring ommissions. Sam Langford was great but why him and not Harry Wills?(who made 30+defences of the Heavyweight title)

What a joke what did Frazier ever do to get that high his biggest win was against Ali he never really had any big wins except Ali if there putting him there might aswell put Norton there aswell he beat Ali and i think he should of won 2 out of the 3 in the trilogy

That was one of the, if not, the biggest win of all time. Very few fights were as important as Frazier Ali I. (maybe Johnson vs Jeffries, or Schmelling vs Louis). And he beat the greatest heavyweight of all time, (arguably in his prime).

Ken Norton also beat Ali and should of won 2 out of 3 fights imo one big win does not warrant you above Holmes Whitaker and others Frazier is way way too high.

The list isn't P4P, P4P Roy is top 10, probably top 5. But greatest, which is predicated more on a fighter's resume, Roy is not top 20 imo and is behind Oscar. He certainly is to low but that is far from the biggest travesty on the list.

You get CC#2 and make a very valid point on that.....

Some boxers left off, and some of the order should be rearranged, but not the worst list I've seen. Don't agree with this one, but not the worst.

Depends how you rank it. By actually who beats who He would beat almost everyone in the top 10 p4p. If you are going by prestige, number of fights, most quality opponents, and things like that then he should be in the 30's or 40's.
