    Default ESPN Lists Top 50 Boxers of All Time

    This list is total bullsh!t and looks to be compiled by a moron. Any list that has Marvin Hagler this low IMO can be thrown out the window:

    Have to agree, Morrales ahead of Tito and Arguello gets in but no Aaron Pryor?
    I'm confused, I would have Tszyu in there somewhere.
    These lists give me the shits.

    this list is a total disgrace. i mean Larry Holmes only 38? Marvin Hagler on 35? a fighter who never won a title in the top 12? this "boxing expert" is an idiot...lol.

    I stopped giving this list any respect when I realized that Pernell Whitaker was at #44, 16 spots lower than Jake LaMotta and 20!!! spots lower than Julio Cesar Chavez.
    Absolutely ridiculous.

    Yeah, ESPN always does this, they make the list entirely composed of fighters from 1950's as if to say what is happening now or in the last 20 years just doesn't matter.

    it is not a great list but it is not bad. Remember this is boxers of all time. Anyone on this list is in good company if you really think about it, regardless of where. Now if someone does not make it on the list that is disturbing. It is hard to make a list like that, everyone has certain criteria. Joe Frazier #26 is what I do not get. I think he was overrated. And this is the problem with rating guys like Gene Tunney with guys now. Guys now would probably beat Tunney easily. Even his son former Senator Tunney said once, it is hard to judge different eras. You can compare now to the 70s since the amatuer rules and fights are similar.. And Mike Tyson is a hard guy to rate. he was so dominant and yet when he lost he lost big.

    does the corporate sell-out ESPN say anywhere by what formula the list was created, if one was even used?

    Deep inside I am a Mayorga fan. Thus, I cannot stand Oscar Delahoya. Which reminds me, WHY is Mayorga not on this list?!

    Joe Frazier at 26 higher than Whitaker Holmes Hearns Hagler Monzon


    What a joke what did Frazier ever do to get that high his biggest win was against Ali he never really had any big wins except Ali if there putting him there might aswell put Norton there aswell he beat Ali and i think he should of won 2 out of the 3 in the trilogy
