Top 50 fighters last 30 years ie since 1984

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Is this list actually in order? No offense but it just looks like you put a bunch of names together.

If you don't think vitali, bowe, etc shouldn't be on list, that's fine, but name the fighters that should replace them... By no means is my list a finalized product

[NChristo]

Take Ricky ****in Hatton out and stick Orlando Canizales in there.
No May or Pac on purpose ?.

Explain why canizales over hatton... Not saying your wrong but just give a brief synopsis of why canizales is better


Manny and Floyd were totally unintentionally left out., I thought I had them in there... They are locks...

Irondan and myself were having a discussion in NSb when this topic got brought up and we had some interesting posts and mini debate about it... It made me start to think about who would be on it... I decided to start a thread about it here since NSb is full of idiots...
How I want the thread to go is I will list off 50 guys off the top of my head, and you guys pick out the ones you disagree with and for every fighter you drop, pick a replacement... It doesn't have to be in any order, I don't want to argue about placement, just if they belong or not.. I think this will be an interesting topic and I'm eager to hear everyone's viewpoints on it..

Remember that we are only going back 30 years to 1984, so while guys like srl, Duran, Holmes etc were still active, only use resume from 1984 to present.. And this isn't about atg rankings, just the top 50 guys even if not an atg..
Here is my top 50, I will try and it keep in order of weight class but no promises.

I'm sure I will leave some obvious guys off..

I know that I'm leaving off some great Asian fighters, sad to say, I'm not that familiar with them,so please list the ones I missed..

I edited the list... Took off hatton, Rosendo alverav, tszyu and added Floyd, manny, orlando

[cleming]

I would definitly erase Vernon Forrest, and find room for Sumbu Kalambay or Carl Froch.
And i truly like Johnny Tapia, terrific fighter, but I'm not sure is legacy is way better than Donaire and Darchinyan.

Ok I'll bite

Michael Watson off for Pacquiao, how is he not on there anyway?

Azumah Nelso off for Mayweather

Johnny Tapia off for SRL, he still managed to beat Halger and Duran in this time period and win titles at SMW and LHW.

Andre Ward off for Carl Froch, simply cos Froch has the better wins but admittedly Ward is better.

I assume leaving PBF and Pac was deliberate.

Wow I completely forgot about Mark Johnson! I like this a lot actually. I think I'd keep Tszyu on though instead of Roman.

I was generous with Roman he probable doesn't belong I should add either Orlando Canizales or Raul Perez
