The Official 606v2 All Time Pound For Pound Rankings
The official results for the 606v2 all time pound for pound rankings are as follows:
1. Sugar Ray Robinson
Simply put the greatest of all time, a world champion in both the Welterweight and Middleweight divisions, was also well on his way to claiming the light heavyweight championship from Joey Maxim when well ahead on the scorecards had to retire due to heat exhaustion. Notable scalps include- Gavilan, Basilio, LaMotta, Fullmer and Graziano
2. Henry Armstrong
The only man to hold 3 world titles simultaneously namely Featherweight, Lightweight and Welterweight, also holds the record for most defences of the Welterweight crown. Notable scalps include- Ross, Ambers, Garcia, Arizmendi and Larkin
3. Harry Greb
The Human Windmill beat more past and future world champions in history, a fighter who could punch from all angles while never stopping with an incredible chin and only ever stopped twice early in his career. Notable scalps include- Tunney, Walker, Rosenbloom, Loughran and McTigue.
4. Muhammad Ali
The most famous of them all, dominated the golden era of heavyweight boxing, had his prime years stolen following his refusal to fight in Vietnam, the first man to win the heavyweight crown three times. Notable scalps include- Liston, Frazier, Foreman, Norton and Patterson.
5. Ezzard Charles
Like many black fighters of his era was deemed to good for a host of world champions to risk their titles against until finally claiming the heavyweight crown following Louis' retirement. Made his name beating the best fighters of arguably the strongest era of light heavyweight boxing. Notable scalps include- Moore, Burley, Louis, Bivins and Walcott.
6. Sam Langford
Much like Charles was unfortunate in being good and black, had won tilt at a world title against Barbados Joe Walcott for his Welterweight title but ended in a draw, had to move up the divsions just to find fighters willing to face him and his incredible power. Notable scalps include- Gans, Mcvea, Jeannette, Godfrey and Wills.
7. Eder Jofre
The Golden Bantam as he was known was a fighter likened to the great Sugar Ray Robinson, could do everything to an excellent level, could box, could swarm and could most certainly punch, his career is epitomised by his return from retirement in his late 30's when he annexed the featherweight world title. Notable scalps include- Legra, Saldivar, Medel, Caldwell and Caraballo.
7. Bob Fitzsimmons
The first man to win three seperate world titles and the first and only fighter to win a lineal title in both the middleweight and heavyweight divisions, a fighter of two very distant halves, his muscular back and shoulders gained from his days as a blacksmith and his small spindly legs known for his devastating punching power. Notable scalps include- Choynski, Dempsey, Corbett, O'Brien and Sharkey.
9. Roberto Duran
The hands of stone a fighter often remembered for all the wrong reasons namely the 'No Mas' fight against Leonard and the humiliation at the hands of Tommy 'the hitman' Hearns, looking beyond that you have a four weight world champion who's career spanned 5 decades with wins from Bantamweight all the way up to Super middleweight. Notable scalps include- Leonard, DeJesus, Buchanan, Marcel and Palomino.
10. Benny Leonard
Like the man directly above him regarded as one of if not the greatest lightweight of them all, had a long and successful career including a tilt at the Welterweight crown against Jack Britton which ended in controversy. Notable scalps include- Tendler, Kansas, Britton, Welsh and Dundee.
11. Gene Tunney
12. Sugar Ray Leonard
13. Willie Pep
