Ring Magazine's Top 80 fighters of 80 Years 1922 - 2002

Holyfeild at cruiser I can live with that

Mick they probably sell a lot of Rings in Japan

I think the list is crap for a large part, and there is no way Henry should be ahead of Ali or Pep

Theres only one fighter there that never won a World Title strange.

And hes not as high as he should fucking be Bastards.

yeah Evander was amazing athlete. He was a super Cruiser weight champion , his fights with Qawi were fantastic. and at HW was able to compete physically with the much bigger Heavyweights. You look at the Foreman fight and the Bowe fights, and they were such great entertaining HW Matches. a real showing of Heart and Determination factor, and athletic condition Holyfield . What most people don't realize is when Evander fought Bowe , Holyfield was weighing closer to 180- 190 lbs. Evander had 10 lbs ankle weights on each leg and rolls of quarters in each pocket at weight in ! ;)

Quarters with the money hes got

I was glad to see names such as Monzon and Arguello, who don't get mentioned much. Holyfield, IMO, is a little too high at 22. Holmes at 27... (shudder).... I can't stand the guy, but I guess he deserves some merit. Pryor was fantastic. Could've been much greater if he hadn't succumbed to drugs. I agree that "Finito" Lopez should be much higher than 70.

Michael Spinks at 41? Gimme a break!

i tell you what if holmes wouldnt of got robbed by spinks twice and would of retired with 50-0 he would be now top 3 hw of all time with louis and ali and marciano would be 4 now

Sad really.

I agree I think Olivares should above Sanchez - allthough Sanchez was a special fighter aswell.

Please enlighten me, what happened to Olivares and the white stuff, I've noticed that Olivares doesn't get mentioned all that often, but I'm a fan of the little mexican.

He became addicted

I haven't really paid much attention to this list until now. And hell yes Ricardo Lopez is too fucking low. Ray Leonard is much to high. His spot should be traded with Lopez's spot. Marcel Cerdan has no business on this list. His record is one of the most padded of all time. I always liked Mike McCallum but he also shouldn't be on this list. If they were able to squeezed in Lennox Lewis and Harold Johnson. They should of squeezed in Erik Morales and Edwin Rosario.

I'm probably one of the few that would agree with you that Leonard is way too high ;)

There are a few oon it that first appear strange but reveiwing it I think its pretty fair. what I do find strange is ask any Pro about Leonard hes rated up there in the top 5 Ask todays fan and they are mixed and yet it was the fan base that got him there. Now the top 2 wouldnt go anywhere near I think hes 39 on the list nothing is said about that I wonder why.

Lopez and Jones and Leonard too low


im thinkin bout doina top 100 list soon so ill use this as an example
