Answer 1

it is ridiculous. Ali is top 3 material. pep was better, louis was better, rjj was better, tyson was better. This whole list is LAME! Also, The fact the ODLH is on this is riduculous. No MAYWEATHER?! come on Ring Magazine, we trusted u

Answer 2

Ricardo Lopez should be top 40 at least.

Oscar De La Hoya should be ranked among the 60 best.

Trinidad should be in between 70 and 80.

Salvador Sanchez needs to be in the top 15

Mike Tyson should be ranked better

I'm surprise Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales aren't on the list.

Carlos Monzon should not be higher than Sal Sanchez

Roy Jones #44????

Answer 3

Dont know what computer theyve used or how these fighters are picked,but the top 20 are for me a bit odd,I mean who's ever seen Harry Greb fight?Im not sure if their is any video of him in existance!Chavez no 18?!and who's to say who's right,my list is just as relevant as the Rings as far as im concerned,and Robinson woulnt be no1 thats for sure,its indeed a strange list with Oscar De Lahoya just above Macallum and Johnson!!!!

Answer 4

No Floyd Mayweather?

But Tyson is on there?  Quick, name 2 good fighters Tyson beat. Thats what I thought.

What a joke.

Answer 5

Its hard to comment on a list like this as alot of the fighters i havent seen fight and some of them i havent even heard of. Having said that there tends to often be a favouritism with fighters of the past compared to more current fighters with lists like this. Surely guys like Ricardo Lopez, Roy Jones, Khosai Galaxy etc should be rated higher than there current rankings. Also i agree with the guy above despite his often unentertaining style Floyd Mayweather should be on that list.
