As always, I want to say thank you to a small elite group of people that help make my website the success that it is.

The boxing world has always kept me interested since my start in 1961.  It’s rich history is my high point, with the bias and in competent scoring by judges my low point.

I appreciate all fan mail and input! I truly respect everyone’s opinions to the highest degree. So keep the comments coming!

I have had many write, and continue to ask, who are my greatest boxers “pound for pound” of all time. I have done extensive research over the years and my final tabulation is based on people I have personally known who have lived and seen the boxers from an era before me.  It isn’t based strictly on who beat who – but rather on a rating process of each fighter in their prime and at the pinnacle of their career.

Here, in order, is my list of the 15 greatest “pound for pound” boxers of all time:  

1) Sugar Ray Robinson

2) Benny Leonard

3) Henry Armstrong

4) Willie Pep

5) Jack Johnson

6) Muhammad Ali

7) Joe Louis

8) Roberto Duran

9) Joe Gans

10) Harry Greb

11) Eder Jofre

12) Carlos Monzon

13) Jack Dempsey

14) Jimmy Wilde

15) Sam Langford

In closing, a couple of key notes of interest are: Bill and Linda Dempsey Young truly do a great job with the newly National Boxing Hall of Fame which the 2018 edition is scheduled for Saturday, April 28 – see their website www.nationalboxinghalloffame.com for more information.

dmboxing.com is going on the road!  I’ll be heading to Chicago to cover an upcoming fight card scheduled for Saturday, April 14 in Northlake, Illinois, I am sure looking forward to being ringside for the show.  I’ll have a full report for my readers upon my return!
