Your All Time Top P4P top 5

[bzkfn]

Floyd Mayweather's claim that he is TBE seemed to piss of quite a few people on this forum. Without judging each other's choices, I'd like to know who you consider to be in your top 5 boxers of all time. This can be based on style or your view of their talent. I just want to know who people view as their best in boxing history.

I'll go...

1. Floyd Mayweather
2. Ray Robinson
3. Roy Jones
4. Pernell Whitaker
5. Henry Armstrong

[Beanflicker]

People will shit on me for Roy Jones Jr but there's not a man from 160-175 in the history of boxing that I would pick to beat him.

And yes, ALL black.

Basically,

An impossible question to answer. There is no 'right' answer.

If anything, it should start with 'Sugar' Ray Robinson.

And end there.

I'm glad you made this post. I've been asking someone, anyone to give their Floyd Mayweather TBE alternatives for weeks now, and no one has responded to the question. I'm eagerly anticipating the responses.

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Roberto Duran
3. Ray Leonard
4. Joan Guzman
5. In-Jin Chi

Fact.

I couldn't even begin to act like I would know a top 5 of all time. I just wanted to say Ricardo Lopez deserves more mention as an all time great. Not only was he a great pro who holds or shares many records. He was also undefeated as an amateur.

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Roberto Duran
3. Henry Armstrong
4. Ray Leonard
5. Archie Moore

Fact.

LOL, the same people who say Floyd hasn't fought anyone rank Duran in the top 5 of all time, a guy who fought a bunch of no names at LW and lost to pretty much everyone worth a fuck at WW and above. Quit during a world title match because he had a stomach ache. And he's the #2 boxer of all time.

What a fucking joke.

Duran would have beat the living shit out of Floyd at either lightweight or welter. Fact.

Lets not be silly now.
