So many things wrong with this post, many of them have already been mentioned but using your strange rating criteria if Robinson (real TBE) is considered a 'failure' at light heavy, then surely Conn is a failure at heavyweight also?

Hopkins Wlad Ruiz Adrien 'can't get a' Boner Vincenzo Nardiello Ottke I can't believe anybody with any knowledge of boxing would deny Leonard greatness. I don't particularly like the person but he is the most complete fighter I have ever seen and his accomplishments over a relatively short career ar...

Pryor v Arguello 1 is the best fight I've ever seen but then in no particular order these babies stand out for me:

Benn v McClellan

Hagler v Hearns

Holyfield v Qawi 1

Saad v Lopez 2

Chavez v Taylor 1

McAuley v Bassa 1

Hagler v Mugabi

Leonard v Hearns 1

Holyfield v Bowe 1

Barrera v Morales 1

Does this guy even know who Hearns is!

I think he's getting mixed up with Keith Holmes lol.

Wright - Hearns by wide UD Eubank - Hearns by wide UD Lopez - Hearns by KO Norris - Hearns by KO in less than 5 rounds Monzon- This is the toughest to call. Hearns was not chinny as many people seem to label him, his KO's to Hagler and Leonard were against two of the very best fighters of all time a...

Top 3 without a doubt, probably number 2. I think only a prime Ali would have beaten him in a tough struggle. Whilst I think his speed and movement would've been too much for Louis, Joe certainly deserves to be ranked as high so the number 2 and 3 spot is a toss up between these two legends. For me ...

Hagler.

Hearns is too low for me. Devastating one punch power and carried up through the weight classes.

I have to say I think the SRL that beat Hagler would beat the middleweight RJJ also. Whilst he only beat a washed up Marvin, a washed up one is still too good for most middleweights that's ever lived and I actually believe Leonard looked good enough that night to be a match for any ATG middleweight....

I can't see De La Hoya lasting 5 rounds with Hearns. Tommy was bigger, faster, stronger, far more powerful and had a definite edge in skills and boxing ability. Oscar was too flat footed to stand any chance with Hearns, I'm not saying its a mismatch because it isn't but De La Hoya's style is made fo...

Johnny Nelson against Deleon & Warring are the first one's that spring to mind, but almost every Wlad Klitschko title fight qualifies and a good handful of Bernard Hopkins fights as well. Those boys really know how to make a man's eyelids droop.

Hagler vs Hearns, first by far. I must have watched it 30+ times easy.

I've also given Pryor vs Arguello 1 a good hammering!

Dave McAuley v Fidel Bassa stands out for me

In 1992 I think Bowe would probably have beaten Lewis by decision. However peak Lewis v peak Bowe I have no doubts Lewis would win, probably by late stoppage. The tough one is peak Tyson v peak Lewis, I can see a scenario either way. Whilst the peak Tyson fought and beat some big guys none of them w...

Hearns by UD. Tommy's handspeed is up there with Roy's, Roy might just have the edge, but Tommy's has real venom behind it and his boxing skills are far superior to anyone Jones ever fought (Toney wasn't Toney when he fought Jones). I see Jones going into a defensive shell after tasting a couple of ...

Holmes, a peak Ali is the only heavyweight that would've beaten Larry IMO.

Holmes / Peak Tyson
Saad Muhammed / Spinks / Qawi
Hagler / Leonard / Hearns / Duran / Benitez / McCallum / Curry
Arguello / Pryor
Sanchez / Gomez / Nelson / Chavez / Pedroza

It's definitely the 80's for me, unbelievable decade!!!!

No doubt for me Leonard beats them all. I think Whitaker would have be his toughest opponent, but still see Ray winning a clear UD. He would have stopped De La Hoya in around 9 rounds no doubts, and because of Pacquiao's aggressive style I can actually see him getting stopped late as well. Mosley lo...

Absolutely no comparison, the 80's produced an incredible amount of ATG's who came together all at the same time. The difference is the greats of the 80's were true fighters who wanted to actually FIGHT each other when they came together to prove whose best. The so called 'greats' of today are more ...

How come Calzaghe is not on the list?

IMO Hagler is the best middleweight of all time, therefore if Carl Froch can make Abraham look a clueless bum what would a peak Hagler do?

Hagler had far superior skills to Froch, it would be like watching the Tony Sibson fight all over again, hopefully without Abrahams arse hanging out though!

Whilst Whitaker had the tools to potentially beat any lightweight in history and a fair few ATG welters, no way he beat's Leonard. Leonard was just as fast, but with KO power.

Leonard by either late KO or more likely UD.

Hearns v Duran is without a doubt my all time favourite, maybe at any weight.

Barkley v Hearns 1 deserve's a mention as well.
