No but they did amuse me. Suspect the author is a blood relative of Juan Diaz.

by **88Chris05** Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:25 pm

Spot on, for the most part. Don't think ? deserves a top ten place at Light-Welterweight, mind you. A bit generous there. Maybe top twenty.

by **Union Cane** Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:25 pm

Disagree.

by **oxring** Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:26 pm

Pretty safe to say disagree. You should put up a poll!

Welterweight - Roy Jones Jr?

I'm going to have to make him the most underrated guy in history. For being the first former WW ever to win a portion of the HW crown.

They have got some things right (only joking)

by Scottrf Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:27 pm

Highlights for me:

No Pep at Feather.
Roy Jones #2 Lightweight.
Gatti at #10 despite being one of 3 boxers on the list.
Butterbean a P4P great.
Byrd>Joe Louis.
Andries>Charles at LHW.
Pryor #1 at LWW, unranked at Super Lightweight.

Check the second (?) Lightweight list.

by **Union Cane** Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:28 pm

Ray Leonard the number 2 light heavyweight?

Headscratch

by Imperial Ghosty Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:32 pm

Not too sure what to say really Scott.

It must just be some guy trying to make a few bob on advertisements for boxing and mma gear.

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:42 pm

I have no idea who Mushy Callahan is but she should be higher in the Super Lightweight list.

by huw Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:43 pm

Someone either has a sense of humour or is an idiot.

by fearlessBamber Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:44 pm

I like the intersection of super lightweight and light welterweight being noone.

by sodhat Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:45 pm

Did Floyd Mayweather write these per chance?

Either way, no Joe Louis at Heavyweight made me more or less skim the rest of the nonsense.

by azania Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:09 pm

Good god. At least a certain crude HW is not there. Progress.

by Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:10 pm

Harry Greb #9 at Middle is a bit generous as there is no proof he actually existed.

by sodhat Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:12 pm

Anyone notice that Joe Calzaghe was so good that he appears on the SMW list twice?

by **Fists of Fury** Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:13 pm

This is appalling.

Yes.

They made the right choice promoting you to moderator, Union. You miss nothing with those hawk-eyes.

by **Union Cane** Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:16 pm

I wouldn't class it as a promotion mate...

They probably sold it to him as all free t-shirts and primetime streams. No man could turn down free Amir Khan branded clothing.

He'd already undergone the sense of humour removal before he started having regrets.

You're right sodhat, it was the t-shirt that clinched the deal.

Al Cole

WTF

by **Union Cane** Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:35 pm

Cole has a good record at cruiser, it was when he stepped up to heavyweight it all fell apart, although he did have a couple of cracks at heavyweight titles.

Great shout by the author.

by joeyjojo618 Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:41 pm

This list finally answers the age old question of who was better; Jermain Taylor or Harry Greb. The answer surprised me.

by bhb001 Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:43 pm

Disagree. I can't get past a list which has Dennis Andries within five places of Archie Moore. Blows my mind!!

by **superflyweight** Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:52 pm

What form of mental retardation does it take to compile lists as bad as these?

Was Waingro responsible? IMO he was LOL.

by Atila Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:55 pm

Henry Armstrong didn't make any of the lists.

by Nico the gman Thu Nov 24, 2011 4:56 pm

Where's Audley Harrison and Tyson Fury in the greatest Heavyweight list,shocking leaving them 2 out.
The guy who compiled the list obviously very knowledgeable on his boxing,can the moderators make sure he never gets on here we'll all be committing Hari Kari dear god!

Same as boxingnews24 I'd guess, they just want clicks.

Not for me, would have both Haye and Mormeck above him.

tua?

joke.

by Lance Thu Nov 24, 2011 6:57 pm

looks like it was wrote in a hurry by somebody with limited boxing knowledge

by zx1234 Thu Nov 24, 2011 7:03 pm

chris byrd is too low on your rankings

Tumbleweed

by d260005p Fri Nov 25, 2011 11:32 am

Why is Mormeck above Haye? And why is Floyd Mayweather pretty much number 1 on EVERY list under Middleweight?! I know he is great, but come on! Are YOU Floyd Mayweather?!

by School Project Fri Nov 25, 2011 6:30 pm

This is the best thing I've seen all day!

Diaz above Marquez, despite losing twice... this guy should be hired by The Ring.

by compelling and rich Fri Nov 25, 2011 8:17 pm

i saw mike tyson at number two and knew this was going to be nonsense, little did i know it was going to get alot worse!!

by horizontalhero Fri Nov 25, 2011 8:23 pm

is it April fools day or something? What on earth is the pont is this?
