[Martin Sosa Cameron]

This boys knew of José Carattoli and Rafael Merentino?

[Seamus]

Barry's Top 100 was better.

[Martin Sosa Cameron]

Barry's Top 100 was better.

Is that I thinks

[TheOneIsHere2008]

Barry's Top 100 was better.

Where is Barry's?

[Seamus]

It was on the old forum.

[granberry]

The clueless don't know that the RING magazine ended in the early 1970's when Nat Fleischer died.

After that it became a disgrace to its original existence as a series of clowns succeeded each other as editors---Nat loubet, Bert Sugar, Steve Farhood, and the drugged out 1960's lefty, Nigel Collins.

This so-called list from the RING magazine is a farce from the farce that the magazine became once Fleischer died.

.

[BoxBuzz]

I take it your point is that you consider the Ring's opinion in this area to be lacking in genuine credibility.

But as we know opinions are well....what they are. Barry's list was an interesting contrast for sure.

[Big Bad John]

Overrated:

• Stanley Ketchell
• Khaosai Galaxy (seriously, above Arguello?!?!?!)
• Gerald McClellan
• Felix Trinidad
• Tom Sharkey
• Evander Holyfield
• Ricardo Lopez
• Ingemar Johansson
• Kostya Tszyu (seriously, he lands solid punch after solid punch on Hatton, but Mayweather - who's supposed to be feather fisted - takes him out with a left hook?)
• Max Schmeling (it took him dozens of overhand rights to stop Louis)
• Leotis Martin

Underrated:

• Lennox Lewis
• Tiger Jack Fox
• Bob Satterfield
• Charley Burley
• Eduardo Lausse
• Julian Jackson
• Terry McGovern

[Martin Sosa Cameron]

Sean O'Grady?

[granberry]

Everyone who fought him said Aurelio Herrera was the greatest puncher they fought.

But what did they know?

[Big Bad John]

Based on the great fighters he knocked out, Muhammad Ali definitely belongs on that list. Leotis Martin got on the list for stopping Liston once. Ali did it twice.

[elmersalsa]

Based on the great fighters he knocked out, Muhammad Ali definitely belongs on that list. Leotis Martin got on the list for stopping Liston once. Ali did it twice.

Does Ali has a better KO percentage than Leotis Martin?

[elmersalsa]

I would like to see barry's 100 greatest KO punchers list and compare it to the one The Ring has.

[granberry]

Based on the great fighters he knocked out, Muhammad Ali definitely belongs on that list. Leotis Martin got on the list for stopping Liston once. Ali did it twice.

But the Leotis Martin KO of Liston was NOT a fake.

[TheOneIsHere2008]

Based on the great fighters he knocked out, Muhammad Ali definitely belongs on that list. Leotis Martin got on the list for stopping Liston once. Ali did it twice.

But the Leotis Martin KO of Liston was NOT a fake.

You are a one trick pony...


:(

[BoxBuzz]

you can do a search and bring up barry's list...or is the search feature still fractured?

[Martin Sosa Cameron]

Voilà! Barry's list is in the great Cyber Boxing Zone; I hope you enjoy it:

Does Ali has a better KO percentage than Leotis Martin?

I was just eliciting the expected response from Granberry.

[Minotauro]

Barbados Joe Walcott, Nigel Benn, Bob Foster, Ike Williams and Bob Satterfield deserve to be higher and Joe Choynski deserves a mention guy was a supper middleweight knocking out heavys. I believe Jack Johnson and Jeffries said he was the hardest hitter they ever faced. Also Holyfield, Monzon, Firpo, Tom Sharkey, Ketchel and Graziano are too high.

[Collins2000]

Good to see Anton and Ric are cleaning up the mess created by granberry again.

Has any other poster forced so many threads to be locked?

They banned him from CBZ and Eastside before he got too comfortable as the resident troll.

[My2Sense]

I think Hagler and Briscoe are rated much too high (they usually got most of their KOs by accumulation of punches, whereas most of the others on this list are explosive one-shot artists).

Bob Satterfield should be higher IMO.

I think Lloyd Marshall could/should be on this list.

I don't think Sal Sanchez and Ricardo Lopez belong on here. I think a better case could be made for Azumah Nelson, Rubin Carter, or Dick Tiger than either of them.

[Flump]

The noticeable characteristic of Collins in his new alias as The/One

is that he absolutely BELIEVES anything printed or posted on the web.

Collins quotes devoutly from websites which pander disgustingly to Ali,

from Monte Cox, known as Monte the thief for his stealing of the material of others

from a made up quote by Ali shill Mark Kram,

and now this crap from the sorry rag that the RING magazine became since Nat Fleischer died in the early 1970’s.

The crap that Collins/TheOne devoutly posts here is from the screwed up remnant of the RING now churned out by drugged out 1960’s radical Nigel Collins.

Collins/TheOne believes every word from the current abomination that he ignorantly believes is the RING magazine.

Kram was Don King's paid shill, not Ali's, did you read Ghosts of Manila?

[Ambling Alp]

Based on the great fighters he knocked out, Muhammad Ali definitely belongs on that list. Leotis Martin got on the list for stopping Liston once. Ali did it twice.

Does Ali has a better KO percentage than Leotis Martin?

Yes, for what it's worth, Ali does have a higher KO percentage than Leotis Martin.
