Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
Not a bad list. I think u have most of the names there, think maybe they could be in a different order tho.
ODLH Calzaghe and Toney are too high.
Can u have Holyfield 7 spots in front of Lewis?
No Sanchez? No Arguello? No Pryor? No Nelson?
Not a bad effort tho.
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
No way Leonard is number one. And where the fuck are Terry Norris and Ricardo Lopez at? Any p4p list that doesn't include Lopez is garbage

Good call on Lopez. I like too many others forget him at times. Stupid really.
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
WEll help me out then VD i have trouble thinking of everyone from the past 30 years who ranks Higher then Leonard. Also egal i put Holfield ahead because he started his career at 175 and form there became a champion in CW and HW so i put him ahead of Lennox maybe i am wrong hard after 10. And the only people i consider the same with Leonard are Duran, Jones, Whitaker and Hearns the others i see behind him.

I'll but Leonard behind Jones, Hagler, Whitaker, Hopkins and Lopez.
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
Hagler never moved up in weight and Roy well i guess you could say he is up there but SRL,RJJ,Duran and Witaker are at the top. And if you look at there competition how many championships they won in different division and how dominate there were it is very close.

I'll put Leonard behind Arguello, Mayweather and Toney as well.
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
How do you rank them ahead i find it hard to put Mayweather ahead in accomplishments and Tony as for Arguello i did not follow his career enough to make a call on him to be honest with you give me the reason you think they are ahead of Leonard and i will gladly read and them respond to you.
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
im sorry 140 , but i think that is a bad list
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
Well if is a bad list then tell me a better one then Headson i like to see who you think should be up there.
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
Mine would be something like this:
1. Duran
2a. Whitaker
2b. Leonard
4. Jones
5. Hagler
6. Chavez
Tough to rank Mayweather because he's still only 30 and we have no idea yet how his career ends. If he were to fight a couple more times over the next year or so against good competition, then I'd have to put him above Jones.
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
Thank for the list Sweet Pea i see mine is off compared to yours but we have the same names cc for the list.
Re: The top pound for pound fighters in the last 30 years
