Default Top 5 boxers of all time?

My top 5 boxers of all time are:

1. Thomas "The Hitman" Herns
2. Roberto Duran
3. "Marvalous" Marvin Hagler
4. Mike Tyson
5. Tyrell Biggs (went to 7th round with Mike Tyson before getting TKO'ed)

Any list without Muhummad Ali in the top 5 is flawed. LOL

Agreed!

I think both Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson deserve spots on that list.

JD: is Tyrell Biggs on your list solely because he went 6 and something rounds with Tyson?

Ali was the greatest of all time. He said so himself. But seriously, folks. Did anyone ever have better footwork than Ali?
