I may expand into that, but I know it would be impossible for a lot of guys to put in enough time to come up with a top 100. Although with the diversity of the responses chances are im going to get to expand it a good bit anyway.

If you don't mind, you can repaste it here.No big deal though, I can always look it up if i need to. I understand why some people wouldnt want to rank people publicly though.
That's cool. I may put a little more thought into it and put my final list here.

My top 20 wouldn't be realistic quite honestly because I'm not going to lie i don't know much about the fighters from the 20's to the 50's. I know theirs footage but I haven't taken the time to look at them. I would have a hard time ranking Sadler, Greb, Pep, Ross etc...

My list will be more like fighters Ive actually seen so it would be more of a list from the 60's and up. Although Ive seen plenty of footage of Louis and SRR to rank them.
