    Foreman is in your top 10 ever? I hold him in high regard but not that high

    Boxers or fighters? I always like to make that distinction, as to me they're not necessarily the same. If we're talking boxers I would include the likes of Leonard, Floyd, Robinson, Ali, Duran... not necessarily in that order.

    I like that list quite a bit other than I’ve always thought that Pacquiao was overrated. Definitely an all time great, but not top 10.

    Thanks. I place Manny that high based on quality of opposition (Barrera, Morales, JMM in their primes are formidable enough, and then you add all the other big names the guys has fought and it impresses the hell out of me) and the amount of lineal championships the guy has won (starting at flyweight and moving up 7 times). Tough to match those two accomplishments for me, but I’m sure I will be in the minority with ranking him that high.

    Roy Jones
    Ricardo Lopez
    Julio Ceaser Chavez
    Pernell Whitaker
    Tommy Hearns
    Galaxy
    Sot Chitlada

    I haven’t done this list in years. I’ll play though

    Ali
    SRR
    Pep
    Armstrong
    Duran
    Leonard
    Charles
    Whitaker
    Hagler
    Mayweather

    I admit I may be bias on my #1. It’s a hard list to make because so many people have a good argument to make it on the list

    I don’t feel that Ali is too controversial at #1 since he beat such amazing competition, had so many significant wins, and transitioned the sport in a way that few have ever done (maybe Pele for soccer and Jordan for basketball compare). These lists are usually dependent on your criteria (some is eye test, others wins vs losses, others head to head predictions...etc.). You have a solid list in my opinion.

    Order may be loose and blur into favs
    Robinson
    Armstrong
    B. Leonard
    Duran
    Ali
    Charles
    Pep
    Lopez
    Holyfield
    Langford

    Mayweather...nah just kiddin get that outta here . Personally I'd actually rate Hopkins over Mayweather somewhere on the list. Both had some major style-fan appeal flaws and egos the size of undiscovered planets, but Hopkins evolved his career on and didn't need mma novices to 'make history'.

    SRR
    SRL
    Ali
    Pep
    Hearns
    Mayweather
    Duran
    Louis
    RJJ
    Hagler

    Yeah. And ? On yours you haven’t even mentioned Ali, yet on another thread you’ve been banging on about him being the Greatest

    Read my post I did not finish the list and was writing what most people would have put. Even my post 1986 list is just my favourites when BHop and Tito should be in it.
