15. Marvin Hagler
"One of the greatest middleweights of all time, Mayweather wouldn't stand a chance."
14. Jack Johnson
"No one at any weight could take Johnson in his prime. His defense was an art form that no one else could master."
13. Willie Pep
"Watch a Willie Pep highlight then tell me he is not the slickest boxer of all time."
12. George Foreman
"This man dominated two eras of boxing, by the way the two best eras."
11. Roberto Duran
"Just The Greatest. He was far better than Ray Leonard, who admitted he was the hardest puncher he ever faced and that he was also the hardest boxer to hit cleanly."
Duran speaks to the press
10. Roy Jones Jr.
"I feel like everyone over looks Roy. In his prime I don't think anyone could have beaten him. So much speed and power."
9. Henry Armstrong
"No one in that history of boxing has accomplished what Hammering Henry was able to."
8. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"This guy has been hated on nearly his whole career. Everyone they put in front of him, they say he would lose to, he beat."
7. Sugar Ray Leonard
"Leonard was one of the most versatile boxers the game has ever seen."
6. Joe Louis
"This man is simply the greatest, watching him fight in his prime...no-one ever stood a chance."
Joe Louis
5. Rocky Marciano
"He is the greatest of all time and he also has the greatest single punch of all time."
4. Manny Pacquiao
"Eight championship belts. Enough said."
3. Mike Tyson
"Deadly combination of speed and power to knock anyone out."
2. Sugar Ray Robinson
"Ali said he was the GOAT, that's how good he was. One of the greatest pound for pound boxers ever."
1. Muhammad Ali
"5 losses, over 50 wins... He was an iconic figure who had a substantial name for himself. Unbeatable."

Foreman was very good and I like him but he did not dominate two eras. He was champ for a while in the first era but lost to Ali and Young and left boxing. In the 2nd era he beat weak champion and then lost in his first defense and Holyfield and others beat him too. He did NOT dominate that era at all. Tyson could knock anyone out? He didn't ko Douglas, Lewis and Holyfield. They all knocked him out and they were all older than Tyson. Leonard NEVER said Duran was the harderst puncher he ever faced. He would have been lying if he said that. The larger Hearns hit much harder than Duran and everybody knows that including Duran who he knocked out cold. If you think Duran was much better than Leonard then why rank him lower than Leonard????
