And yet you seem to have a lot of British fighters in there that the majority of the boxing fan base on this side of the world hasn't even heard of.

I have a lot of issues with your "list." Felix Trinidad and Wilfredo Gomez not on there, when you have other dubious entries in there? Carlos Zarate? Didn't Gomez take him apart at the peak of his career? Surely you'll have a "historical" answer for that, complete with dates, names and anecdotes.

For my money, however, "alltime" lists are highly subjective and yours is no exception.
Hope you understand.

Like you say TitoFan these lists are purely subjective, and indeed mine is absolutely no exception.

But to answer a couple of your points:

I have two British fighter in my top 50; Jimmy Wilde and Bob Fitzsimmons. And Fitzsimmons is a very dubious 'honorary' Brit.

As for the Puerto Rican thing, honestly it is nothing personal, your country is an amazing producer of superb boxing talent. I have Trinidad rated #49 in my list, Gomez #63 and Benitez #46.

As for the Zarate thing; like I said to Atomic Bull, IMO rating the greats is not as simple as who beat who. Zarate was at the pinnacle of his career as a Bantamweight, during which, he put some amazing numbers together. Gomez was a brilliant 122lber, but despite still being at his peak, Sanchez found him out that night he moved to 126lbs, and that damaged his legacy.
