Five best peaks of all time

Self explanatory. What would say are the five best peaks in boxing history?

I would say, in order:

1. Mid-40s-to-early 50s Robinson
2. Mid-to-late 70s Duran
3. Mid-to-late 90s Jones
4. Mid-60s Ali
5. Early-80s Leonard

 

Gonna Be Difficult Arguing AGAINST These 5…



REED

 

True. Maybe 5 honorable mentions then.

My 5 HMs would be:

Late 30s/early 40s Louis
Mid-to-late 40s Charles
Early-to-mid 70s Monzon
Early-to-mid 80s Hagler
Late 80s/early 90s Whitaker

 

where are the whites at?

early 30s Rosofsky, 1910s wilde, 20s greb???

 

Pep had the GOAT peak of White guys.

 

Tito Trinidad - Mid 90s to early 2000s
Wilfredo Gomez- Late 70s to early 80s
Pernell Whitaker- Late 80s to early/middleish 90s
Roy Jones- Mid 90s to early 2000s
Floyd Mayweather- Late 90s to mid 2000s

I tried to include guys that weren’t mentioned.

 

Tyson - mid to late 80s
Scurvy Johnson - 1821

 

A bit off topic, but how was ali patterson viewed? Yeah Floyd reputation was probably way down after rhe 2 listons destructions, but he reeled a few good wins afterwards

 

I'd have to say George Foreman..... 2 losses, one of them to The Greatest and other one a disputed loss to a spoiler. Beat Frazier twice, Norton, Wepner, LeDoux, Lyle, Chuvalo.

 

Also regards Foreman:- Ali absolutely ducked him afterwards. Guy was fighting Richard Dunn and some guy called The Lion of Flanders rather than rematch Foreman.

 

Peak George got his ass whipped by a faded Ali. Thats all that matters.

 

Foreman was green then. He peaked around the early 90s

 

I believe that had Ali not been banned he'd have have likely been far less fresh than he was by 1974.

 

Jose Napoles when he first got to 147 would be in my top 5.
