[dominik13579]

De la hoya 52? that's still too high lol

James Toney better than the Klitschkos?? common man, that's ridiculous. both should be even ranked higher than Tyson imho

[1cwa]

[MIKESOWELL]

@1cwa Thanks, man. I appreciate the honesty.

[BeasTxMode2000]

[ak24ek13]

[aYasserRonaldoShow]

[MIKESOWELL]

@aYasserRonaldoShow Thanks, man.

[zn23000]

Macho should be higher. But really nice made list.

[MIKESOWELL]

@zn23000 Thanks, man.

[KiNGMarls]

There are certain fighters that have been preached about from generation to generation and no matter what record, skill set or dominance of an era they wont be moved from top spot and they are Henry Armstrong, Muhammed Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, and Joe Louis

[MIKESOWELL]

@KiNGMarls I agree, that is why I have all but one of those guys in my top 10. And Ray Leonard, I think, is 11.

[sassypepsisimba]

@bgeezy You say Rocky is a bum. Well theres a lot of bums in boxing history. But anyone thats 49-0 don't get that tag in my book. In a sport where one lucky punch can mean defeat, see Big John Tate vs Mike Weaver you got to give some credit every fighter is one punch from defeat. Two wins over Jersey Joe Walcott, Two Wins over Ezzard Charles who ranked real high in Mikes 100 and a win over I will admit a washed Joe Louis and Archie Moore 49-0 is 49-0.

[KiNGMarls]

@sassypepsisimba @bgeezy i hear you about the not taking a loss etc but Joe Calzaghe finished with an 0 and his has no stiff competition...

[sassypepsisimba]

@MIKESOWELL You say if Rocky was black people would say he fought bums. Well lets look at one of the fighters the Black community give so much respect to resume. He had a whole bunch of KO's early in his career, the best fighter he ever beat was a beef up light heavyweight, who was scared to death. There's two fighters on ur list that he fought and he lost all three fights to them. Two by KO and one ear bite. Actually if Rocky was black we would call him Iron Mike Tyson.

[MrIrishrover2011]

good list had it been my top 100 i would have made room for big daddy bowe, "the dark destroyer" nigel benn "the celtic warrior" steve collins and maybe the "clonas cyclone" barry mcguigan

[MIKESOWELL]

@MrIrishrover2011 All of those guys could easily have been in this list. There are so many guys...but I try not to forget the fighters of the long past too.

[MrIrishrover2011]

@MIKESOWELL yea its a great list seen some fighters in there that i had forgot about to be honest only reason i mention the fighters i did is because they were fighting when i was just getting interested in boxing at a young age.....

[MrBrickcityboxing]

trinidad 70 something delahoya 50 something leonard ranked higher than hagler duran ranked higher than both of them ... idk

[MIKESOWELL]

@MrBrickcityboxing Thanks; I appreciate constructive criticism. 

[jesusneverexisted300]

@MIKESOWELL: Very good list.

[bgeezy305]

Fam did you rate this list as far as SKills, KO"s or records????

[MIKESOWELL]

@bgeezy305 I basically just went by where I think certain fighters should go... I look at skills, level of competition, eras, a lot of different things..in my other video, I had Rocky, Pep, Benny Leonard, Greb all much higher. But I think it is valid to look at some of the competition that those guys had...some of them did fight a lot of bums.

[MIKESOWELL]

@bgeezy305 I also look at achievements. With Floyd Patterson, I had him one spot ahead of Liston despite the fact that Liston clobbered him twice. Patterson was the youngest man to win the heavyweight crown at that time, as well as the first to regain the title. He also held the title for a longer period of time than Liston. But the fact that he lost twice to Liston is why I only had him one spot ahead. I know a lot of people are not going to like this list.

[bgeezy305]

@MIKESOWELL I wouldnt give a fuck if people dont like this list..its your list so they gotta respect it..fuck them...but I usually base my list on boxing skills but alot of people have different takes on how they rate there fighters on the alltime list...alot of fighters I never heard of you mentioned so I guess I have to do more research lol...good list tho...

[MIKESOWELL]

@bgeezy305 Thanks. I had been reading more about some of the older fighters, and I pushed up a guy like Burley who was ducked by a lot of fighters back in his era.

[bgeezy305]

@MIKESOWELL just like SRL ducked fighters for years and he always was overrated to me

[MIKESOWELL]

@bgeezy305 I feel you, man. Some people feel that Sugar Ray is overrated.

[sassypepsisimba]

Rocky Marciano number 88 that is an absolute joke. The man is the only fighter on your list with a undefeated record. He beat Jersey Joe Walcott twice. And knocked him out with one of the greatest right hooks in boxing history. And Walcott is ranked ahead of him come on man. I know there's a lot of Marciano hate in the black community, and I am a black man but i can't co sign on that. The only undefeated Champion in boxing history can't be ranked number 88. Oh Floyd is undefeated my badd.

[MIKESOWELL]

@sassypepsisimba Look at the level of competition that Rocky had...look at the fighters that he beat...he has one of the worst resumes I have ever seen.

[MIKESOWELL]

@sassypepsisimba Keep in mind, that he's still on here, so I have to think something of him as a fighter...he did have an undefeated record. But if he was Black, people would always say that he fought nothing but bums, and he would not be as beloved as he is.

[bgeezy305]

@sassypepsisimba rocky is a bum

[Eric21ND]

@sassypepsisimba and Ricardo Lopez

[gershom44]

awesome vid man. love it

[MIKESOWELL]

@gershom44 Thanks, man.

[SkywarpMach7]

I knew that other list you made was half hearted.....I could tell easily because I know you have tremendous amounts of knowledge of the sport and history of Boxing.

[MIKESOWELL]

@SkywarpMach7 Thanks, man! I respect your knowledge as well...I felt like I was going more by legacy with certain guys, and reputation. As with Manny, I no longer feel comfortable with him on a top 100 list...I just can't do it.

[floopehobaloobie]

Great post Brotha! Your list is solid!

[MIKESOWELL]

@floopehobaloobie Thanks, fam!

[78FightNews]

Good shit Brotha Mike!!!

[MIKESOWELL]

@78FightNews Thanks, fam! I still may have put some guys a little high, but I respect their legacies a little more than some others.

[Andrew2197732]

You really are a historian there were guys in this video I haven't even heard of.

[MIKESOWELL]

@Andrew2197732 I'm not a historian...I just read about different guys...but thanks for the compliment.

[Andrew2197732]

Damnit Mike now you've gone and done it.... motivated me to play Fight Night Champion on hard difficulty and fuck everybody up lol, good video MIKESOWELL.

[MIKESOWELL]

@Andrew2197732 LOL!!!
