On stats its hard to disagree. Going from lightweight to light heavyweights is a remarkable record.
This stat alone says in any weight division his speed and skill stands out.
Clay/Ali however fought in an era of big big money.
This meant he had no padded title defences...against the biggest, hardest punchers on the planet.
Big money meant big pressure and he always stood up.
Sugar Ray Leonard's record is right up there as well.
His title fights against Hagler, Hearns and Duran showed his skill and movement. Those 3 were tough motherf$ckers!
Again, big big money bought about big pressure and he generally delivered.
My top three.
How about Aussie fighters?

Fenech, Rose, Tszyu.
Fenechs rip off with Nelson made my blood boil at the time.
If his hands weren't chalk he could've won multiple wbc titles.

Famechon's record is very good.
I didn't realise he fought Harada as well and won.
Harada had a pretty shit time against Australians.
Long memories

I agree with the Roars top 2 of the boxers Ive seen
3rd best ???
Its interesting they have included rivals Anthony Mundine at 6, and Danny Green not in a top 10
It might have been difficult listing where Les Darcy should be , he died aged 21 years old, with maybe his best years to come ?
