lol @ Floyd and Hopkins being above Roy Jones and Whitaker.

[M Bison]

16/20 are Americans. At least there is no bias in these lists eh?

LMFAO!!!

Exactly what I was thinking, the list just wreaks of bias and nostalgia nuthuggers, nothing wrong with being nostalgic for past fighters but this list is still a complete joke.


It's like choosing your top 5 power rangers -
Red power ranger (366pts)
Green power ranger (200pts)
Pink power ranger (150pts)
Blue power ranger (74pts)
Yellow power ranger (66pts)

These so called experts do nothing but live in fantasy land, probably heavily under the influence (drugs & alcohol likely) when deciding these lists
The fact people pay these ******s to write crap up like this is beyond me.

[M Bison]

you can tell when someone is a fan boy and when they are serious about the sport.. duran at #4 based on what no mas manny at #14 based on what again getting koed cold by marquez..the ring list is garbage but this is even worse.. without criteria to establish what you put out many great fighters will get left out and the writers will choose there fav fighters regardless of whether they deserve it or not.

the criteria i used was:
1. championship fighters defeated
2. reign of championship run

Joe Louis and Ali but absolutely no mention of Larry Holmes?

[The Big Dunn]

As usual whenever this thread get bumped Manny fans and non Floyd fans doing everything they can to try to devalue the list simply because Floyd is on it and Manny isn't.

Such a shame that posters ride with these writers/historians whenever they are critical of Floyd but then turn on them whenever they are not.

Yet you can't agree the fact that this list is just a bunch of so called experts jumping on a bandwagon of past fighters and only looking to give American fighters plaudits.

Argue my point, why is this list not biased?
16 out of 20 fighters are American, a lot of key figures of boxing have been skipped out so these historians come across as elitist/purist its sickening that someone would not want to give someone their due credit for them just because they 'think' key word there and that's all they do, make assumptions play the guessing game and likely they've got it wrong.

If you want top lists of all time to be took seriously you need a damn well good explanation why other fighters have been left out and why someone from 60/70 years ago would walk through everyone today because essentially them being put on that list is exactly what they're saying to us.

The list is 50, not 20. TS provided the remainder of the full list. There are more non americans on the list. What non americans do you want to see that are not there?

The TS also provided the list of voters. Check that because I believe there were some non americans.

You calling it biased is self serving. SHow us how its biased?

How the hell is Manny not on this list?

The only 8 div world champion. Fought most of the greats of his divisions in their primes, and for the most part walked right through them.

Started his career at 108 pounds! Say what you want but ALL the greats have losses. Manny needs/has to be on any credible list of the ATG of the last 70+ years.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

A dude that seriously gets overlooked for these debates is Michael spinks..

32-1 with one brutal loss at the end of his career to prime mike Tyson

Gold medal

Lineal undisputed lightheavy champ

Reigned over the best and deepest light heavy division in history

A bunch of successful defenses

Undisputed lineal heavyweight champ

Beat an undefeated atg champion Larry Holmes twice (razor thin)

2 successful title defense at heavy

Wins over guys like homes, Cooney, eddie mustapha, Dwight qawi, Murray Sutherland, marvin, etc

Beating Cooney >>>> beating John Ruiz



Maybe he isn't on the mt. Rushmore of boxing but he sure as hell has talent and career achievements on par with guys like roy, pernell, chavez, etc
