These types of lists are always subjective, but I have some questions as to what your criteria was and how you ranked these fighters. First off, how is Ray Robinson and Roberto Duran not on the list at all? Next question would be, how in the world do you justify having Mike Tyson as high as you do? Same questions on Roy Jones and Oscar, especially since you have them ahead of Floyd, Ray Leonard, BHOP, and Marvin Hagler. Those rankings are very hard to justify. The most mind boggling thing for me though, is that you have Kostya Tszyu ranked at #6 and Henry Armstrong at #16. Henry Armstrong held 3 of the 8 available championships simultaneously, and should have held the middleweight title but was ripped off in a draw vs. Cerefino Garcia. He defended the welterweight title over 20 times with over 20 knockouts in 1 year, that is almost as many fights as Kostya had in his CAREER. Tough to justify some of those rankings, but you are entitled to your opinion. I would LOVE to hear your criteria though....

I'm just assuming it's his 20 favourites, with no Robinson or Duran as you said, and Kostya on the list period let alone that high. That's not hard to justify, it's just false, despite how subjective this is. Tszyu has a very underwhelming record for how good he was, to bad he didn't get some big fights in his prime.
