The FIVE BEST fighters of all time, in your opinion.

I was responding to the thread title more than anything and there is enough film of Greb foes as to make his greatness a good educated guess. Like I said though, if we go with only what we've seen even pep is narrow because there's not huge film volume. Tough call.

How many fighters did Kimbo give a hard time too in a professional boxing ring?

Toney is built like Two ton and also gave a good account of himself in the heavyweight division. Toney has more skills but two ton had a few skills as well.

Two ton was a professional opponent and he was a tough fight for the big boys.

 

my only firm rankings are:

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Roberto Duran

Jones is NOT in the top 5. If Ali is in the top 5, Joe Louis is ahead of him

No offense to Sly... seriously.... but I can't compose a list of the five most talented and the five most unbeatable. They are two different lists IMO. My list was for those fighters who, at their best were the most unbeatable.

 

Muahmmed Ali
Sugar Ray Robinson
Sugar Ray Leonard
Roberto Duran
Pernell Whitaker

Ok the most talented of all time, as opposed to the most unbeatable. Kaliber inspired me with his post of Ike.

1) Ike Ibeaubuchi.

2) Sweet Pea

3) Ali

4) Jack Johnson

5) SRR

Only SRR makes it into both lists:dunno:.
