    I know my top list is probably different to a lot but I'm pretty harsh on fighters. I would love to add Roy Jones, Tyson etc but if fighters chose to fight past there prime they need to take the good with the bad.
    So you punish fighters when they are past their prime...

    Mayweather arguably 'peaked' a decade ago; and fought this year.

    Hagler may of peaked in the late 70s, and no matter what was never quite so Marvelous post Sibson, yet fought on until 1987.

    Louis peaked in the late 30s and fought on into the 50s.

    Robinson peaked in the 40s and fought on onto the 60s.

    Holmes possibly peaked in the Norton fight, certainly was not the same post Cooney and yet in 82 he was only a third of the way through his career (in time).

    Foreman peaked in 73 yet was still fighting nearly 25 years later!

    Hopkins peaked in the later part of the 20th century and certainly was never quite the same post Trinidad, yet he is still active a decade and a half later...
    Maybe it is the fact that they peaked and still did well to some degree. Suprised Roberto Duran is not in it then.

    Each to their own but Floyd being top is just horrible.
    It is very subjective; within reason there is no right or wrong. I did a list earlier this year. My top 10 went:

    10 Carlos Monzon
    9 Benny Leonard
    8 Ezzard Charles
    7 Joe Louis
    6 Muhammad Ali
    5 Harry Greb
    4 Bob Fitzsimmons
    3 Roberto Duran
    2 Henry Armstrong
    1 Ray Robinson

    Of those not listed on g3org3's 10:

    Lil Floyd I had at 17; Hagler 34; Marciano 54; Holmes 44; Foreman 55; Lewis 76; Hopkins 26 and I did not have Calzaghe in the 100.
