#P4Prank: Ranking top 25 pound-for-pound boxers of past 25 years
So espn has been ranking top 25 fighters of the past 25 years. It's a decent list but I have a few problems with it. I thought it would be a good discussion.
First, Morales is #18 and Barrera is #13. Maybe I'm biased being a big Morales fan but I think he definitely had the better career and is the better fighter. And if anything, Barrera should be one or maybe two above him.
#6 is a bit high for de la hoya. And this is coming from a big fan of his while he was a fighter (not as much as a promotor). He fought some great fighters, but to me lacked a little bit to get to that next level. I think he could fall a few spots.
Roy Jones at #4 is just dumb. No way should bhop be above him at all. Jones should be #1 or #2 no question. He was so dominant. He was #1 p4p for a long time. Bhop I don't think has ever been #1 yet he is ranked higher? How is that possible?
It's actually a decent list overall but has a few problems.
