6)Trinidad
7)Oscar de la Hoya

2. Ali
3. Tyson
4. RJJ
5. Arguello

First off RJ's name shouldn't be anywhere near this list. Niether should Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis.
Muhamed ALi #1
Sugar Ray Robinson #2
Henry Armstrong #3
Willie Pep #4
Sugar Ray Leonard #5

All time is impossible to rate because nobody has seen every era, let alone enough of it. Not to mention that athletes get bigger, stronger, faster as mankind advances. It would be unfair to put Lennox Lewis against the 187 pound Marciano. So going on the eras I have seen plenty of it is this in any order.
Pernell Whitaker
Roy Jones Jr.
Bernard Hopkins
Ray Leonard
Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Sugar Ray Robinson
Henry Armstrong
Muhammad Ali
Wille Pepp
Roberto Duran


Mines the best list!!! Ner ner ner ner ner ner ;D ;D ;D

not in any order

srr
ali
aaron pryor
henry armstrong
pernell whitaker

Interesting article I just found ;)

http://boxing.about.com/od/history/l/aa123099a.htm


Who knows what it is about the end of every year that compels people to issue a seemingly endless array of lists ranking nearly everything imaginable. Regardless of the topic, there are countless ‘best of’, ‘worst of’ and ‘top tens’ to be found in every newspaper, magazine and website. With this not only being the end of the year, but also the end of a decade AND a millennium, the volume of lists is even more overwhelming than usual.
One such list, which will undoubtedly stir much debate among boxing enthusiasts, is the recently released listing of the best fighters of the 20th century as chosen by a five-member panel for the Associated Press. Presented below are the AP results for fighter of the century, as well as the top fighters in each weight class. Recognizing that there are even more opinions than there are lists, each category also includes a poll so that you can have your own say as to who was the best overall and at each and every weight.

Fighter of Century

1. Sugar Ray Robinson - welterweight and five-time middleweight champion
Record: 175-19-6, 109 KO's; Career: 1940-65, 24 years active.

2. Muhammad Ali - first three-time heavyweight champion
Record: 56-5, 37 KO's; Career: 1960-81, 19 years active.

3. Henry Armstrong - only fighter to hold three titles (featherweight, lightweight and welterweight) simultaneously
Record: 150-21-9, 101 KO's; Career: 1933-45, 13 years active.

4. Joe Louis - defended the heavyweight championship a record 25 times
Record: 68-3, 54 KO's; Career: 1934-51, 14 years active.

5. Willie Pep - featherweight champion who was a brilliant boxer
Record: 230-11-1, 65 KO's; Career: 1940-66, 22 years active.

6. Jack Dempsey - heavyweight champion who participated in several legendary fights
Record: 61-6-8, 50 KO's, 6 ND; Career: 1914-27, 11 years active.

7. Roberto Duran - dominant lightweight of 1970's, who also won titles in three other weight classes
Record: 102-15, 70 KO's; Career: 1967-99, 31 years active.

8. Benny Leonard - master boxer who was lightweight champion
Record: 85-5-5, 69 KO's, 119 ND; Career: 1911-32, 16 years active.

9. Billy Conn - light heavyweight champion who made historic challenge against Joe Louis
Record: 63-11-1, 14 KO's; Career: 1934-48, 11 years active.

10. Harry Greb - middleweight champion and only man ever to beat Gene Tunney
Record: 115-8-3, 51 KO's, 179 ND; Career: 1913-26, 14 years active.

agree with you with hopkins and jones

1.SRR
2.Tyson
3.Duran
4.SRL
5.Ali

Take your pick Benny Lenoard Harry Greb, Kid Chocalate Henry Armstong, Ray Robinson Willie Pep, Ezzard Charles, Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran And JC Chavez they to me stick out, that on a good night would take some beating.

Willie Pep was the most talented and gifted boxer ever imo. Prime Duran was great in his prime too. Benny Leonard deserves mention too

ray robinson
ricardo lopez
Ali
Pernell Whitaker
Henry Armstrong

Roy Jones deserves it more than Leonard how do you figure?..Ray was in more big fights with more skilled opp than Roy....We dont count the comebacks...only first time out....Hell Jones was never really in a WAR like leonard has been...Not that I am a big leonard fan or hater of Jones but Roy always was safety first...Ray always took the fight to the guys that were supposed to kill him according to the so called experts...Benitez..Hagler...Hearns...Duran...

Ray Leonard never left the Parish to avoid the punch

Yeh, he beat him once and lost 3 times, but Pepp had had 140 odd fights when they first fought.
I have got extended footage of atleast 2 of the fights on VHS - absolute quality!!

Both all time greats imo, I have Pepp ahead of Saddler based on careers and the fact that Pepp was not prime ;D (sorry Gorilla ;D) when they fought

Why is hagler no being even mentioned. The man never lost or was knocked down legitimately.

Yeh he lost to The Worm and Bobby Watts legitimately, and I think Leonard nicked their fight too.

Having said that definitely a top 10-12 all time for me

I wasn't around at the time but I heard he really did not lose any of those.

The worm has surely got to be the worst nickname ever for a boxer. He might as well call himself the Child Snatcher or The Rapist. :-\
