HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
Just noticed you have Naz there? Are you out of your fuckin mind?
A.) No Terry Norris
B.) You have Naz and no Nigel Benn
Naz didn't achieve shit compared to either of they two and got battered as soon as he fought an elite fighter.
Review your shit quick smart!
Noris had a nice run at 154 but he is not better than anyone on my list in my opinion. Benn also falls short. Naz belongs on the list. He could hit and while the boxers he did beat might not have been on Barrera leavel they were good boxers and not the bums that revisionest history would have us beleve. Hamed argent prick yes, very good boxer yes.

RJJ imo is a level above Mayweather in his sheer dominance. RJJ would laugh at 168lb version of Castillo
Holyfield and Lennox should be there especially above limited incomplete fighters like Taylor/Wright/Trinidad
Barreras a bit high - hes been dominated by 2 fighters
I agree with the other poster that Calazage/Eubank/Benn.
Calazages ruled 168lbs for over 10years and has some impressive names in his ledger. Hes far more complete than Taylor/Wright/Trinidad
Benn was a miniture Tyson has P4P wins like McCellan, Barkley. And a 2 weight champ.
Eubank beat Benn, Watson, Rochigani - not too far from Toney in quality 160-168. Eubank was a beast too.

Calzaghe's dominance places him on the list, if only as a substitute for Taylor. I would agree Hamed would be on it, but due to the way he ended up it would be lower than you have said, Barrera might be a bit high too but would be on there.
Benn would be up there for me too. Probably my favourite fighter

rocchigiani was robbed in his own country.
but i agree, eubank maybe deserves a spot. and where the hell is mosley?

Taylor doesn't belong on that sort of list....I've yet to see him beat a top guy convincingly.............Calzaghe and Lewis and Tszyu deserve to be way ahead of Taylor

No way Eubank took Rochiagiani to school in that 1
True Mosley should be there for sure

While Jones has more skills. I think Mayweither has done more and his opoents are not as bad as a lot of people clame.

Your ranking is complete BS :hi: sorry

Hey - eubank do NOT belong to that list (hes was a beast yes but should not be placed on this list). Also hamed should be removed (below #35).
Add holyfield in where hamed is placed. Also find a place for lennox but below holyfield.
Please remove toney and replace him with calzaghe. Shane should be #16 and put taylor below him. Also switch between barrera and manny.
The the list is acceptable.

good list overall but dont think naseem hamed should be there trade him with tszyu and its as good as it gets in my opinion

PBF above RJJ? Hamed that high? Pacquiao that high? Barrera that high?
In my opinion they are all dservering of the ranking I gave them.
Rankings only reflect personal opioion.

This is my replay to why Mayweather is #2 for all past and upcomeing posts that says he is to high. First off all I respectivly dissagree. I fell that Mayweather's skills or talent whichever you like are up among the best of his erea and perhaps all-time. He has won titles at super featherweight, ightweight , Jr. welterweight, welterweight and Jr. middleweight.
While his list of opoents could be better they are no where near as bad as a lot of people would like to belive.

I don't agree with Barrera and Pacquiao being higher than Hopkins
Hopkins is an old man.....if P4P actually means P4P and not what you have done in the past then he shouldn't be in the top ten

Hopkins is an old man.....if P4P actually means P4P and not what you have done in the past then he shouldn't be in the top ten
I rank Hopkins for his long run at middleweight and the fact that despite being "an old man" he is still very good.
