Mayweather, Pacquiao, Ali: Ring Magazine's greatest boxers of all time
Who is the greatest boxer of all time?
It’s a question that is probably impossible to find a definitive answer to, but it’s one we all love to debate as boxing fans.
Some would say Muhammad Ali, some would say Floyd Mayweather. It truly is a question that has a plethora of potential answers.
With the growth of the sport over the last century, boxing has seen a growing amount of quality, technical fighters step foot in the ring, so defining who is the greatest of all time really is a tough task.
However, just recently, Ring Magazine ranked their top 100 boxers in history, rating showstoppers from the previous 97 years, and the list is flooded with star names including Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and legends such as Roy Jones Jr, Sugar Ray Leonard and of course Muhammad Ali.
Now looking through all 100 of the boxers Ring Magazine named and ranked would leave us, and you as the reader, here all day, so instead, we’ve decided to look into their top 30.
If you are interested in seeing who makes the entire top 100, however, we’ll provide links to their rankings at the bottom of this article.
