    Well I'll try based only off what ive seen for myself and not what i've been told....

    1- SRR
    2- RJJ
    3- PERNELL
    4- SSM
    5- PBF
    6- ALI
    7- LOUIS
    8- Barerra
    9- lennox
    10- SRL
    11- holyfield
    12- TONEY
    13- bhop
    14- oscar


    this is impossible...havent seen enough of the older guys their fights are hard to come by not to mention the only ones people put up are of them winning. So i used my list based the fighters who i've seen the most of..and even though ive seen fights on the other guys like duran,pep,armstrong, saddler, moore, chavez, ezzard, greb, fitz,

    i haven't seen enough to personally rate them high. and i don't go off what the old historians say because they're biased towards the old era guys anyway.

    All list are subjective. For anyone that does not know the meaning of the word, here is the explanation Subjectivity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Every list is going to be an opinion that is subjective. If I were to pick a fight that was a legitimate draw and I'd follow one fighter more than the other, I most likely would pick the fighter I followed as the winner. Example: Marquez / Pacquiao I.

    I would be interested in seeing a comprehensive list that was based on a point system like BoxRec Ratings Description - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia

    There are things to consider that can only be subjective. They are not calculated into Boxrec's formula i.e. When fighters go past their prime and a lesser fighter wins. When a fighter fails to defend his title against other top rated fighters. When a fight is killed in the ring... (nah... forget that one) Fighters may have had injuries or had been weight drained. Anyway you get the point...

    100 is too many. try counting 100 pennies and you'll say "fak it" after counting penny #43. top 15 maybe.

    I have always said the ATG system has been terrible because historians have to idolize the past it happens in every sport, it happens in every subject. The past hyperbolized to the point legend becomes "reality"

    That being said I will still try make the best list I can with help from Bert Sugar and his views of some guys that came before my time and before they had extensive clips of fighters. I mean regardless of him being a crackpot, he definitely talked to guys who saw these people fight, and he definitely saw a lot of these guys most haven't seen fight.

    Think you should try to get like say 20 greats form each era then try to form it but some are tough because we have never seen them fight.
