​@Daniel Neville Imo boxing's untouchables are Robinson, Ali, Greb, Armstrong and langford. Order is debatable. Shockingly both Bill Cayton and Jim Jacobs (boxing film collectors) studied Ali and Robinson extensively and said Ali is much faster and they think he would beat Ray Robinson if ray was a heavyweight! Bill cayton even said he thinks Ali is the GOAT after studying films for hours. IDK it's tough to say who would win but the true GOAT is undoubtedly one of those 5.

The list: 16:50 Muhammad Ali 27:11 Carlos Monzon 30:27 Sugar Ray Leonard 35:31 Marvelous Marvin Hagler 42:10 Roberto Duran 52:12 Julio Cesar Chavez 56:20 Pernell Whitaker 1:01:31 Michael Spinks 1:05:51 Evander Holyfield 1:08:20 Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Roy was never a MW. The day before the fight weigh in helped him tremendously. In the important era of boxing the fighters weighed in the day of the fight. Roy is a big guy who fought MW at over 180 lbs. Natural MW’s has a huge disadvantage. When he fought someone who could hit back in his real weight class he got cold cocked. He had great speed but his lack of conventional boxing ability was terrible.

Teddy Atlas is the single Greatest Ambassador, that there has ever been, for Combat Sports. Everyone knows how knowledgeable and passionate Teddy is; But I don’t think people realize just how intelligent, profound, genuine, and altruistic he is. Teddy is like the Dalai Lama; Except he teaches people about beauty, and the Path to Enlightenment-via Combat Sports.

At his peak from like 1993 to 1998, I don’t know that any fighter who ever lived could have beaten Roy Jones Jr. He was doing things that you can’t defend against. He doesn’t get the respect he actually deserves. When you can make an incredibly skilled fighter like James Toney look like a club fighter, that’s next level. I don’t care about the end of career when his reflexes diminished, he had more than a decade run where he was untouchable.

In addition, an undeniable fact: Besides the late great Emmanuel Stewart, no boxing trainer was in the corner of 3 heavyweight champions in 3 different time eras, like Teddy Atlas was. Mike Tyson, Michael Moorer, and Alexander Povetkin (the Russian who just annihilated Dillian Whyte, at 41 years old). I know that many will say now that when Atlas was training Tyson, Tyson was not a world heavyweight champion, yet look at the impact of Atlas to him. Also, who else "gave" a championship to two different fighters in the heavyweight division, during the fight itself? Remember what happened to Moorer vs Hollyfield. Remember what happened to Povetkin vs Chagaev. Atlas changed the tide of the fight, by pushing his pugilist to his limit not as an athlete but as a human being. I, personally, cannot recall any other trainer who has done that. To conclude: Deontay Wilder needs Teddy. But that was my 50cent worth words.

I definitely respect Teddy's list. I'd bet money on a prime Roy Jones vs anyone from middleweight to supermiddle who ever boxed. Roy's reaction time and speed were absolutely ridiculous. He also had plenty of power to go along with that speed. I wish Roy had better opponents in their primes while he was in his. Hopefully boxing fans in the future will remember him.

The speed and skill of Ali in the mid 60’s + the Power, Will, and Chin of Ali in the early 70’s, is what would be an absolute Prime Ali in 67’ 68’ & 69’ and we never saw it.

Sanchez had great all-around ability, but he wasn't allowed to complete his career - we'll never know if he would have beaten, Arguello, or Pedroza - the Gomez win was against a smaller fighter, great as he was, but Gomez didn't take any prep fights at 126lbs to prepare for Sanchez - he jumped straight into the fight with Sanchez...Sanchez was brilliant against Gomez though. & speaking of Gomez, his KO record at 122lbs was the best in history. But his ability didn't translate well when he moved up in weight - but he was able to turn the clock back against LaPorte at 126lbs. He fought a beautiful fight that night.

Sanchez by the time he was 23 beat Lopez, Nelson and Gomez. Impressive. That in itself is a career.

Hagler did not beat leonard, leonard wasnt even the same fighter like when he fought duran and yet he still looked amazing, i gave hagler some rounds he was putting it on leonard in middle rounds but leonard definitely won more rounds and box perfectly in spots!

Yes he did .!! My GOD what is wrong with you . Ray stole rounds with flurries and tassels.

Teddy is one of the greatest coaches of all time

I agree with the list in general ,but I would put forman and lennox in spinks ' and holyfield' s place

Aside from Ali and Mayweather, this list would be more appropriately titled 'Most Underrated Boxers' of all time.

Thank you Teddi for naming the Great Carlos “ Macho “ MonZon in your list . MonZon was a bad man !

On the topic of Mayweather: making it look easy shouldn't be a downgrade to someone's greatness but an upgrade. It's ridiculously hard to be the best but to dominate is even harder.

Pacquiao was 8 dividion, 5 lineal. What was the meaning of "POUND FOR POUND"???????

Pacquiao is a cheater and cherry picker and 🦆

Leonard used the blue print from his second Duran fight to sneak a decision against Hagler. But P4P I have Duran ahead of Leonard and Hagler.

Duran ahead of Leonard? No way. Two different talent levels. Speed beats power. Sugar Ray Leonard was the superior pure technical boxer, the superior athlete. More precise footwork. Leonard had to abandon like half of his abilities to make a competitive fight with Duran lol. You guys are picking with your hearts lol.

You guys get a like from me every time before I even watch the video 💪

Floyd was strategic about when he fought a good fighter. He fought Canelo on the way up and Pacquiao when he was over the hill. And he avoided GGG altogether.

YESSSSS🔥🥊⚔️

I think it's sad how time and time again when the pound for pound discussion comes up, we never hear the name Thomas Hearns. The guy was the first 4 division champion AND the first 5 division champion in the toughest era of those weight divisions so why does he always get forgotten? He also got to a 40-1 record before he lost the second time. He gets criticized for losing two of his biggest fights to Leonard and Hagler but he was fighting maybe the greatest pound for pound fighter of all time and the greatest middleweight fighter of all time! What about the big fights he won against Pipino Cuevas who was the welterweight champ, against Wilfred Benitez who was 43-1 at the time, against Roberto Duran who he destroyed in the second round and against Sugar Ray Leonard in their rematch where Hearns actually won? Even Leonard admitted that. Why doesn't he get credit for those great fights? He also gets criticized for an alleged weak chin but if it was so weak, he wouldn't have been able to go all the way from the welterweight division to the light heavyweight division. He took the light heavyweight crown from an undefeated Virgil Hill and handled everything he had to offer. I wouldn't call that weak. People also forget how many punches it took Leonard and Hagler to get him out of there. I think that Thomas Hearns is sadly one of the most underrated fighters of all time. He definitely belongs in the top 5 in the pound for pound discussion.

The idea that even Ray Leonard said Hearns won means absolutely nothing. I am confused when people have no other argument for an athlete or any other person they often refer to what the winner said. Most times the winner is being humble and are just being classy and even if they werent that isnt an argument for anybody achieving something that they didnt. This is used when a real argument cant be made.

Pound for pound means you can move up and down weight classes and still give a good fight, pacquiao should be in top 10 list.

Great show guys great picks too I personally was not a Leonard fan however, I admit he was a great fighter when I saw him lose to Hands of stone the first time I gained respect for him great fighter.

Ali is an example of doing it wrong but do it with confidence. Confidence cancels out flaws

Ace28 yeah the Michael Spinks thing is crazy. But I guess that’s why anyone’s list will be subjective. There should be a P4P list based on stats only. And there should be points based on fights, wins, losses, titles, heads to heads against other champions, titles in different divisions etc. Then there will be no debate... or at least less crazy opinion based additions

How can you have Michael Spinks ahead of Floyd Mayweather lol

Lol, something about Floyd makes people unable to render an unemotional opinion about him. They hate him, and they never got a chance to see him humbled. He made close to a Billion dollars, never lost a fight, and honestly was never really pushed that much in a fight. He also beat a lot of people’s heroes.
