    Actaully i think the top 10 is very acceptable. There are some stupid ones such as Tyson at 74, Jones at 44, DeLaHoya seems a tad low.

    Gene Tunney at 30 is a joke. Top 10 at the very least, ahead of Harry Greb to. Don't get how he beats Greb 3 of 5 times finishing once with a draw, wins the biggest fight in boxing history versus Dempsey yet I've never seen a list where he is higher then Dempsey or Greb. And had the 10-9 scoring system been in effect for the first bout with Greb he would have won that one to. Tunney for whatever reason wasn't liked throughout his career and that has greatly affected his legacy as a great fighter. He got a bit of a late start on his career and didn't face any real competition until he was 30 fights into his career, but come on...

    But theyve rated Grebb at middle Tunney at Heavy I would think Although at his best some would argue L/heavy was Tunneys best weight

    I thought it was just the whole career? Anyways I agree Tunney was at his best at light heavy but his biggest wins were at middle and heavy. Oddly enough.

    There are definitely more than a few dodgy selections on there - 'Finito' being the worst

    Some would argue that Tiger was a better Middle ThanFoster was a Light/Heavy

    2 weight champion aswell - but I think Fosters longjevity as champ would put him higher

    The punch he knocked Tiger out with is one of the best I have seen!

    Id go along with that H. Probably the trips to heavy didnt do his legacy to much good.
