A very solid top five!

For me I would have to add Joe Louis. As a all time great and also as a personal favorite. His accomplishments in the ring surely qualify,
but also his grand demeanor and humble appearance.

"Yes, Louis is a credit to his race -- the human race." sportswriter Jimmy Cannon

I don't have much disagreement with Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali being included in a top five list.

I wonder if Willie Pep's stoppage at the hands of Sadler, omits him from such lists.

Hello Johnny how are you?

Apart from elevating No5 to No2 and moving the rest down a place I totally agree with you. Hardly surprising though is it.

My personal opinion as to the best 'pure' boxers (skillful practicioners of the art of hitting without getting hit), but not necessarily the best boxers of all time-
1- Willie Pep
2- Nicolino Locche
3- Floyd Mayweather Jr
4- Muahmmed Ali (pre-ban)
5- Sven Ottke

Just joking about no.5, my real fifth pick'd be either Roy Jones Jr or Ray Robinson- RJJ just had freak spped but in his prime rarely got hit cleanly, while no-ones really seen how good SRR was at welter, so for mine he's an unknown quantity.
Close calls are Georgie Benton, Charley Burley, Benny Leonard, James Toney and even Chris Byrd.
