Your All Time Top P4P top 5
Floyd Mayweather's claim that he is TBE seemed to piss of quite a few people on this forum. Without judging each other's choices, I'd like to know who you consider to be in your top 5 boxers of all time. This can be based on style or your view of their talent. I just want to know who people view as their best in boxing history.

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
I'll go...
1. Floyd Mayweather
2. Ray Robinson
3. Roy Jones
4. Pernell Whitaker
5. Henry Armstrong

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
People will shit on me for Roy Jones Jr but there's not a man from 160-175 in the history of boxing that I would pick to beat him.
And yes, ALL black.

Basically,
An impossible question to answer. There is no 'right' answer.
If anything, it should start with 'Sugar' Ray Robinson.
And end there.

I'm glad you made this post. I've been asking someone, anyone to give their Floyd Mayweather TBE alternatives for weeks now, and no one has responded to the question. I'm eagerly anticipating the responses.

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Roberto Duran
3. Ray Leonard
4. Joan Guzman
5. In-Jin Chi
Fact.

I couldn't even begin to act like I would know a top 5 of all time. I just wanted to say Ricardo Lopez deserves more mention as an all time great. Not only was he a great pro who holds or shares many records. He was also undefeated as an amateur.

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
1. Sugar Ray Robinson

3. Henry Armstrong
4. Ray Leonard
5. Archie Moore
Fact.

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
LOL, the same people who say Floyd hasn't fought anyone rank Duran in the top 5 of all time, a guy who fought a bunch of no names at LW and lost to pretty much everyone worth a fuck at WW and above. Quit during a world title match because he had a stomach ache. And he's the #2 boxer of all time.
What a fucking joke.

It's hard to really include greb and Langford because there is basically no footage so it becomes all what you read.

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
What happened to this forum? A few years ago if I'd made this thread, #1 on every post would be 'Mighty' Mike Arnaoutis.

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
#4 All-Time Pound-for-Pound
Noel Quarless
I would say, that Noel's victory over 'Big John' Tate on March 30, 1988 certified his 'Greatness'.
What do you think girls ?
Susan Hart {Brunette} ............ "Oh yes. Noel belongs in the Top 5."
Shelley Fabares {Blonde} ........ "Yes, Noel deserves the #4 slot."
Barbara Eden {Red-Head}........ "Yes, definitely yes. He's my Master."

some people might take you a little more seriously.

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
Back on the Farm,
While it is 'most' difficult to come up with a Top 5 'Pound for Pound' list.
It is very easy to come up with a Top 5 'Clown List'.

Hate is a very strong word.
I would go with 'dislike' instead.
I just never appreciated that clown act, as it got kind of boring, don't you think.

Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
I'm glad to see that a lot of people commenting here have Sugar Ray Robinson at the top of their list. The man was way ahead of his time. He understood the angle aspect of boxing years before anyone else ever thought about it.
-
Re: Your All Time Top P4P top 5
Sugar Ray Robinson
I don't think we have to go any further.
It would be a dis-service to mention anybody else with the 'Sugar Man'.
