Your Top Ten - EVER!

First topic message reminder :

Posted a top ten Brits ever thread a bit ago so thought as that was such a roaring success (it hit double figures, some of us set the bar a little lower than most) thought I would continue the theme and ask for everyone’s top ten ever. I know this has been done countless times but it has been a while and is always nice to get our newer users opinions.

If we could resist the temptation to avoid turning this into the oft repeated and in no way tired or dull old vs new debate that would be much appreciated, although I won’t hold my breath on that one. Will do mine to get the ball roling.

1 Robinson
2 Armstrong
3 Greb
4 Ali
5 Langford
6 Charles
7 Fitzsimmons
8 Leonard (Ray)
9 Duran
10 Leonard (Benny)

Forgot about him. Can you imagine any modern HW having issues with someone like him? Funny bloke but no great shakes as a boxer.

You're clutching at straws.

Go on Youtube and have a look at Louis's triple left hook, its a thing of beauty.

Ali was on the floor four times BTW.

Holmes had better footwork and jab. Holmes would beat him without much fuss.

You been smoking the wacki again.

how many times was Louis down...........

Don't know, you're the chief Louis hater you tell me.

Did you check out that left hook yet?

Don't hate Louis........

Just think he was overrated..Have him number 2 at heavy..........but miles behind Ali..

Number 3 for me. Behind Ali and Holmes. Many others would have slaughtered him but because he was the one eyed man against the blind he reigned for eons.
