Sorry to be a pain asking questions, but before i go, are we talking 'greatest' or can i factor in who i think is the 'best'? Or is it just a combination of things, as in no strict criteria? Sorry mate.

FW: Henry Armstrong
BW: George Dixon
FlyW: Fighting Harada

Those are some interesting decisions, the last two sound reasonable to me but Armstrong over Pep? I would like to hear that argument.

[teeto]

On the vote i went for:

Ali, Charles, Greb, Robinson, Duran, Pep (it's difficult under normal circumstances but some names weren't there), Jofre, Canto

[Sweet Pea]

Those are some interesting decisions, the last two sound reasonable to me but Armstrong over Pep? I would like to hear that argument.

I'm basing these rankings on what each fighter natural at the weight was able to accomplish in his entire career.

You sure love to complicate things. Just the greatest ever boxer in each weight class. Taking everything into consideration...

Nah, Pea. You really needed to be a smart dude. Out the nominees, please. :lol:

[Robbi]

If someone who you really think it the greatest for a certain division aint there, tough f@ckin luck. Thats what I say. :lol:

[Robbi]

I think the candidates aren't too bad for each weight class. Some modern day greats shouldn't be included for some divisions. Aaron Pryor selected under the greatest welterweights? WTF :lol:

[Tin_Ribs]

Ali
Charles
Greb. Though I could have just as easily picked Monzon.
SRR
Leonard
Pep
Jofre
Canto

[PH|LLA]

Joe Calzaghe.

[natonic]

Ali, Charles, Monzon, SRR, Duran, Sanchez, Olivares, Canto

[Tin_Ribs]

Am I the only one who thinks that Benny Leonard was a greater lightweight than Duran?

[Addie]

I was going to do this then realized my knowledge is so restricted that there's no point in pretending to know why Wilde was any better Harada. Too much to learn in this game, man.

[GPater11093]

HW: Muhammad Ali
LHW: Ezzard Charles
MW: Harry Greb
WW: Ray Robinson
LW: Roberto Duran
FW: Henry Armstrong
BW: George Dixon
FlyW: Fighting Harada

Harada is an interesting pick why with his relativly small reign at Flyweight better than Pascual Perez or Jimmy Wilde?

I think the candidates aren't too bad for each weight class. Some modern day greats shouldn't be included for some divisions. Aaron Pryor selected under the greatest welterweights? WTF :lol:

He is hosting it.

also my picks

HW: Muhammed Ali
