BOXING'S GREATEST FIGHTERS - Bert Randolph Sugar

[Shanus]

What if we threw all these guys in a pit?

Who would walk out?


I got money on "Mr. 100." Mr. dead last.. :wank:

There's no doubt about that, he'd have the highest kill count too.

Attention! All Tyson KoolAid drinkers attention! Important public service announcment! Drinking Tyson KoolAid leads to permanent brain damage! Symptoms of said brain damage include the compulsive urge to put Leg-Iron Mike on P4P lists, premature ejaculation at any Tyson highlight film, incipent desires to chew on ears of peeps who annoy you, and out of body experiences where you dream of being butt ****d in prison. The only known solution is to refrain from drinking Tyson brand KoolAid and watching a 72 hour marathon of Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis fights so you can identify what REAL fighters look like!

PS. Bert Sugar's out his mind: He should have left that overrated f*** off the list.

You know this list is a joke if Holyfield and Tyson make the list...but no Lennox Lewis...

[Panamaniac]

this book was written a long time ago and then edited again i dont when but definitely before mayweather beat dlh cause i've had the book for awhile. bert wouldnt put him on till after mayweathers career is over.

Be that as it may, this edition was copyrighted in 2006.

It's tough enough to select 100 greatest fighters, let alone place them in order of greatness. My hat's off to Bert Sugar. And on his head, if you get my drift...

[Bogler]

i believe mayweather hasnt fully retired yet when this was compiled so he's not in the list. but you'll get an idea where he would be if he's retired at this moment, highest at around 50, just below hagler and whitaker.

so all those who said mayweather would hardly break top 50 goat were not pretty off the mark, if you follow bert's list.
