[LaMarcus Bryant]

Aww'll be damned if Roberto Duran and Julio Ceasar Chavez weren't two fo the baddest motherfuckers I've ever seen fight (Tyson is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too low on that list.....)


It's awesome that Jake LaMotta is on that list only because he is the only guy bullheaded enough to own Sugar Ray in history.

[degenerate_gambler]

tyson is right where he should be..

[LaMarcus Bryant]

That's totally fucking whack dude, you can't judge a human being for being messed up after spending good time in Prison, moreover you can't judge a fucking Kid Dynamite after being sent to Prison on the charge of Sexual Abuse/Rape, of course he'll come back fucked up....

So if you stretch your imagination and imagine him not being psychologically fucked up by Prison then you'll realize he's wayyyyy too low


noone



NOONE
on this planet ever dropped fools like Kid Dynamite.

[cornbread]

Sugar Ray Robinson is right where he should be.

The music is annoying.

De La Hoya is above Mayweather?

[sa_butta]

I guess Tyson really ruined himself in the rankings. Had he kept his antics outside the ring, he may have been higher. And while I dont agree with it, I see why he is there. The man dropped bombs though.

25. Marcel Cerdan
Middleweight Ring career: 1934-49 Record: 106-4 (61 KOs)
Career notes: One of most popular athletes in French history. … Born in Algeria before emigrating to France. … Suffered four defeats in 110 bouts, each dubious: two via disqualification, one on a controversial decision and once after injuring shoulder against Jake LaMotta in defense of world middleweight title won from Tony Zale. … Was killed in a plane crash while en route to rematch.

Without World War 2 and this tragic plane crash..... he would have been much higher :rolleyes

They should have add the tribute song wrote by his great love Edith Piaf "Hymne à l'amour" :music

Marvin Hagler should be higher. That was a baaaaad man. Leonard was a fortunate man in 87.

No kidding. Hagler is the best middleweight of all time. Leonard waited till Marvin was past his prime before finding the balls to fight him. And then too he loaded the odds as much as possible in his favor: the larger ring, looser ropes, etc. Even then he was lucky to have won the decision; Hagler should have won.

Hagler probably fits in the 15 to 20 range IMO

Marvelous Marvin Hagler, you mean?

[tlongII]

George Foreman should be higher. I firmly believe he was drugged in his fight with Ali. It's the only reasonable explanation for what happened. He was the most powerful puncher I've ever seen.
