Rank your list of greatest fighters pond for pound

[Alan McDougall]

Guys

Your suggestions all seem valid, this an ongoing eternal debate but can anyone think of a better way to spend an afternoon at a barbecue arguing heatedly about it, great fun, with a box of beers of course

Willy Pep for the guys that know little about him was a boxer of superhuman like skill, he once took a bet that he could win a round against a world class opponent "without throwing a punch"

He did it easily check it out if you like!

Sugar Ray, Mohammad Ali, and Henry Armstrong all belong in the list, the the rest are debatable, but great posts by all you guys

Would Joe Louis have been strong enough to avoid the unimaginable power of Mike Tyson?, I doubt it. Joe was almost knocked out by Billy Con a clever light heavy weight, who if compared to Mike Tyson was a butterfly puncher

But remember if Joe connected they all went the same way, onto the canvas that is

Take Care

hows Harry Grebb on anyone's list?

As far as P4P goes I will take Roy Jones Jr.

I would go with Ali second because I see him giving any fighter trouble in a P4P match.

As I have said throughout the years and will continue to say that I personally don't rate and list really old school fighters from the past with modern. It really is hard to really tell how great fighters like Greb, McVey, Loughran, Barbados Joe Walcott and Langford to name a few really were. Also if I feel I have not seen enough fights or footage of a fighter I also simply say I have not seen and know enough to rate him. There is no shame in not being able to rate a fighter. I rather say it than blindly put him on my list because others rate him highly. With that being said here are 2 lists the first list is of fighters I have seen enough of and know enough of to rate. The second list is of fighters I've seen very little of if at all and have read about.

10. Monzon
9. SRL
8. Moore
7. Louis
6. Pep
5. Duran
4. Ezzard
3. Ali
2. Armstrong
1. SRR


10. Canzoneri

7. Ross
6. Walker
5. Benny
4. Gans
3. Fitzsimmons
2. Greb
1. Langford

Wow I can't quite believe Floyd Mayweather Jr. didn't make any of your lists. How he can't make any top 10 all time p4p lists and Roberto Duran can is beyond me. Duran was a true warrior and a superb fighter, but in no way could I have him top 10 all time.

1. Floyd Mayweather
2. Roy Jones Jr
3. Sugar Ray Robinson
4. Pernell Whitaker

Floyd's greatness isn't going to be appreciated until many years after he's gone. You'll find people here who don't think Floyd is in the top 50 of all time, let alone top 10.

But yeah, I agree with Duran too. Great fighter, but I think people give him a pass on a lot of the bad moments he had. Quitting because he had a tummy ache, getting starched by Tommy Hearns, dropping decisions to superior skilled fighters, ect.
