ESPN Rankings

Who compiled this list ? Must have been pundits who have never watched a boxing match. Worst top 50 ever ... Tyson 50th ?

Rankings

How could Julio Cesar Chavez be so low? Take a look at his win and loss record! He should be rated in the top 5.
—Guest Jim

All wrong

Mike Tyson should be in the top 20. roy jones, bernard hopkins and thomas hearns, too! And you forgot about pernell whitaker and manny pacquiao! This needs to be redone!

benny lynch, ken buchanan. ken only lost to duran by a low blow which was not punished.
—Guest billy mckie

pacquiao

won 8 world titles in 8 different weight classes ... no one can do that like him. He should be the number one greatest of all time.
—Guest alex

I think pacquiao is one of the greatest

I think pacquiao is one of the greatest boxers of all time....
—Guest alex

top 50 boxers of all times

in my own opinion, manny pacquiao ranks no. 1 as the greatest fighter. he had his 9 belts in different divisions. he defended it without loss. he was named the pound for pound champion. he is a great fighter for me because he fought opponents who are much bigger than him. the fastest and hardest puncher i have ever seen in boxing history.

WTF?

Erik Morales is higher than Iron Mike? Mayweather isn't in the top 15? Keep it real!!!
