Whos Number 1?
 
one of the greatest shows on ESPN, think theres a lot that has gone on in Boxing this past year that the Top 10-20 has probably changed. Plus, there is no deeper, in depth discussion then discussing the Top 20 some odd boxers of all-time

so whos everyone got?

ok, in my honest opinion prime RJJ is p4p the best boxer to ever put on the gloves

You'd get some wildly different lists here, but this is my top 20.
20. Roy Jones Jr.
19. Julio Cesar Chavez
18. Archie Moore
17. Rocky Marciano
16. Larry Holmes
15. Jimmy Wilde
14. Alexis Arguello
13. Mickey Walker
12. George Foreman
11. Marvin Hagler
10. Sugar Ray Leonard
9. Jack Dempsey
8. Jack Johnson
7. Benny Leonard
6. Roberto Duran
5. Willie Pep
4. Joe Louis
3. Henry Armstrong
2. Muhammad Ali
1. Sugar Ray Robinson

Of course, I'm going on the basis of most accomplished...if you're basing just on pure boxing talent and ability, then guys like Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather, Pernell Whitaker, Ray Leonard, and Salvador Sanchez would all easily be top 10, with a top 5 of Robinson, Ali, Pep, Benny Leonard, and Jack Johnson.
