Top 5 All Time ???

Man that's a really difficult list right there, so many weight classes, so many eras, great fighters in all of them, my list usually consists of guys who are generally considered the GOAT at their true weight(s).

1. Sugar ray Robinson - from welter to middle, nobody better
2. Muhammad Ali - greatest heavyweight ever
3. Archie Moore - arguably the greatest light-heavy, 181 wins and the most ko's ever
4. Roberto Duran - greatest lightweight of all time
5. Henry Armstrong - Fought at featherweight, lightweight and welterweight and is the only fighter I can think of who is top 5 all time in all those weights

I know, I know, I've got Duran over Hank and Duran is probably the Latino version of Armstrong but Duran's level of competition faced was consistently higher imho, even though Hank fought Robinson and other notables. Duran went to welter and fought everybody in arguably the greatest welterweight-superwelter era of all times. But they are so similar in style, they both have over 100 fights won, both won titles at multiple weights, but like I said, Duran's overall comp was better imo. He started at a lower weight and won the middleweight crown as well, something Hank tried but never managed to do. But I wouldn't be mad at anyone putting Hank even as high as number 2.



Duran would probably make my top 5.....Armstrong actually held the belts in FW, LW and WW when there was no such thing as Super and Junior weight divisions and also fought at MW....I find that very impressive....

the biggest problem I have is I haven't seen all the greats....I watch alot of Boxing...Greats like Pep and Moore I have never seen them fight....I watch old Boxing fights on Youtube....so I can't honestly come up with a decent 10....

Oh no doubt, you have to give Henry that, and even more impressive was that he won the welterweight championship as a featherweight, weighing 126 for the fight, incredible.

I actually was taught the basics of boxing by Sandy Saddler who was Pep's greatest rival - I saw film of him and Willie when I was about 10, I was impressed. But now that I've seen so many other boxers, the only way I could include him on a top 5 p4p list is if I were white and just HAD to give one of the spots to a white dude to salve my conscience. Sweet Pea was better than Pep in every way. Hell Nicolino Locche was just as slick and better than Pep imho, probably the slickest defensive white dude I've seen. He was like a white Mayweather....
