The Greatest of All Time in each individual division

[BIG H]

I did this about a year ago, but I thought it would be interesting as it looks at different weights to the usual ones we always talk about

I haven't included every single division just the ones I consider to be the main ones.

See what you think and what your opinions are.


Flyweight - Jimmy Wilde

Bantamweight - Carlos Zarate

Featherweight - Wille Pepp

Superfeather - Alexis Arguello

Lightweight - Roberto Duran

Lightwelter - Aaron Pryor

Welterweight - Sugar Ray Robinson

Middleweight - Marvin Hagler

Light Heavyweight - Roy Jones

Cruiserweight - Evander Holyfiled

Heavyweight - Muhammad Ali

Maybe Bob Foster or Archie Moore for Light Heavy and RJJ for Super Middle?

You list CW but not SMW?

And there's no way Jones Jr is the greatest LHW or even top five.

Billy Conn, Ezzard Charles, Gene Tunney, Tommy Gibbons, Archie Moore...yeah I consider those guys greater but RJJ isn't too terribly far behind

FLYWEIGHT = JIMMY WILDE
BANTAMWEIGHT = PANAMA AL BROWN NEVER GOT STOPPED IN 170 FIGHTS

Why are people considering RJJ a SMW and not a LHW - look at his defences and number of fights in each division. I was going to have Archie Moore at LHW, but I thought Jones nicked it on a.) more title fights & b.) I think he would've won a Head 2 Head.

i couldnt think of many good smw so just put him up there big h

Partly out of sentiment as I felt it would be wrong for Archie Moore not to be on the listand that Jones could be accommodated as the #1 Super Middle.

Jones wasn't half the fighter at LHW he was at SMW. He even retired from boxing in '96, but has ended up hanging around for 10 years because HBO let him choose his opponents - it was easy beating taxi drivers and firemen twice a year on boring decisions.

A greatest list has have something to do with achievement. He was only at Super Middle for 2 years and about 5 or 6 World Title fights, He was a Light Heavy for the best part of a decade with close to 20 world Title fights
what division do you think defines RJJ

Lyle only remebers fighters defeats later in their career, he would of course still had Tommy Gibbons above Jones had jones retired after the Ruiz fight

[El Kabong]

What the fuck are you on about BigH? I think your blind hatred of me has made you retarded!

RJJ was a great fighter but never had great FIGHTS at 175

Tell me why RJJ would be ahead of the guys I listed

[raleights]

because he would have beaten them? lol just my guess

If you believe Billy Conn would KO or UD Roy Jones, the tooth fairy is probably not a far fetched concept from where you sit

[BIG H]

What the F*** are you on about BigH? I think your blind hatred of me has made you retarded!

To the contrary mate, I don't hate you, I don't even dislike you, I just like winding you up
