Yeah, I mentioned that I respect the source completely and wouldn't ever claim to know more, there are just a few things that seem weird on there.
Like you said, glaring omissions are Tyson and Trinidad..and I happen to agree specifically about Sweet Pea being too high. Im not downplaying Pea's ability
and give credit to him for such a ridiculous amount of amateur fights etc..I just don't think he is a top 20 ATG.
Another thing that caught my eye is PBF and Manny being ranked right next to each other..
seems like there is some sort of agenda behind that.
No Joe Frazier or Foreman in the top 50?
Plus I think Hagler is too low. I'm a borderline stan of his but he should be higher than 34 and I think he is Top 20. He beat Duran (10th) and Hearns (41) and I scored him over Sugar Ray (16) (Im going to re-watch again and maybe make a thread on it EDIT: nvm missed the thread on it in september) ...plus his overall resume is really unfukkwittable.
Generally, these historians give too much credit to the early early boxers. I mean I know they do their homework and know their shyt but there is barely any footage on a bunch of these guys. Burley's last fight was in 1950..I mean gimme a break. Don't get me wrong, I respect the forefathers and everything but let's be realistic..
