Top 10 by Decade: Part 17 - Grand Finale Top 100

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

Love this channel. Interesting to think how Ali would have ranked without losing those 3 years, same as Robinson. Wasn't expecting Hopkins to win but makes sense with the points adding up. Really interesting experiment Rummy did here, I'd be interested in hearing his own personal top 10 or 20 even and what he biased it on.

[@lefez9015]

The Modern Martial Artist Did Robinson lose his years by going to the army?

[@naroulin9279]

He gave his own top 20 for Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight and Super Middleweight at the end of his top 20 videos, which were using an other ranking points system. Check it if you're interested.

[@michaelmetcalfe4882]

Le Fez Not the army, no. He chose to retire in 1952 as middleweight champion to pursue a career as a dancer/entertainer, not returning to boxing until 1955.

[@raiderbro8663]

The Modern Martial Artist = same here, his 90s HW recap might be my favorite video in all of youtube. Your channel is GREAT by the way - just discovered it last week and had to sub. I don't train or spar, still very entertaining and very informing for geeks like me

[@lefez9015]

Hyacinthus Turnipseed Oh thanks man.

[@petierican6079]

Mr. Rummy's corner just to let you know you may not hear this enough but you do a excellent great super job and I love your site really gives me a great look at boxing history thank you once again

[@theonlysaltspring]

Pete Rosario thx for saying that.

[@weedyguitarstudio1715]

Pete Rosario If he didnt use Ring Mag

[@petierican6079]

Weedy Guitar Studio maybe?? but still a lot of time and hard work most people Will not even care to do something as cool as this 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Krystalmyth]

This is an ambitious project that won't get the views it deserves, but should get all the gratitude it can carry. Thanks, Rummy.

[@Elnont]

Larry Holmes is SO underrated by the boxing community it’s criminal. It’s good to see Chavez get his props tho. I always thought that due to his immense popularity in Mexico, many more casual American fans would try to dismiss his achievements.

[@michaelallport5816]

Absolutely right.

[@bunnyman6321]

Facts

[@textclavo]

Yes

[@bobber0623]

You can add Evander Holyfield to that list

[@bobber0623]

Tyson is so overrated it is criminal

[@johndawhale3197]

Crazy to think that fighters like Rocky Marciano, Ricardo Lopez and Khaosai Galaxy aren't in a top 100 list...

[@jerryhernandez1895]

JohnDaWhale3 I wasn’t surprised Rocky wasn’t on this list because his career was short but I was surprised Ricardo wasn’t on the list because he was a champion for about a decade I believe.

[@jerryhernandez1895]

JohnDaWhale3 Now that I remember at 1:06 Rummy says that this Ring Rankings data is incomplete for the weight classes that weren’t 1 of the original 8 especially the ones below flyweight because there isn’t a original weight class below them. So once that data is complete I believe Ricardo Lopez will come up high on this list.

[@Camcolito]

It's a dumb list.

[@lorddante571]

You have no idea how good Rocky Marciano is tbh

[@sataniccyanide6976]

@@Camcolito its not who he actually thinks are the 100 best boxers ever, he did a series bases on point scoring for the weight classes and this is just the finale of that

[@xavierofficial12322]

You should update this list at the end of every decade to see how it changes.

[@alanmcfly4236]

Ur crazy

This is the BEST boxing series on YT!!!! I loved watching all of these videos and couldn't wait for the finale and you didn't disappoint!!! Thank You, best Boxing channel ever!

Excellent work, well done! So many variables across so many timelines make it impossible. Fantastic effort though, and looking forward to seeing your top 100.

Great job! Really interesting, really appreciate all the work you put in to this!

[@billybob9961]

Really enjoyed this series and look forward to each of your videos thank you for the great work as always

[@richard23montalvo25]

Hagler best Middleweight ever

[@sweetfighter8586]

Phenomenal work Rummy. This ranking might have its flaws, it highly values longevity and doesn't take the opposition into account, but I think it's a great, objective way to do it. It also revealed quite a few surprises and opened my eyes on certain boxers, I appreciate to see some less known guys sneaking in. The Ring is not perfect but I think it remains the most legitimate source and I can only imagine the amount of work you put in to come up with all those rankings and I strongly appreciate the effort. I'm certainly going to use those when making my own rankings. Thanks Rummy, keep up the great content.

[@joet81]

Man I love this channel. I've never stopped a video before it's finished.

[@naroulin9279]

thanks , I was waiting so much for this video.^^ So much work in it, I think it is one of the best if not the best boxing video (not counting actual fights of course) ever.

[@deeboi206]

Thanks for the video I watched every minute of it rummy keep up the good work

[@JonJonGTA]

Awesome. Time to sit down and relax and watch an hour of Remy's corner. Been waiting for this

[@AcrylicGoblin]

You do such a good job on all your videos and I enjoy them all. Thank you!

[@chrismarinov2007]

This has to be the best value work I have seen in the boxing community in a very long time. Rummy's Corner is a true student (at this point may be a professor) of the sport and I can't compliment enough the exceptional quality of the work he does. Thank you sir!

[@TexasGuitarist]

Yeeessssss! I've been waiting for this!

[@Anacronian]

"Slapsie Maxie" gotta be the best boxer nickname :D

[@nmlols]

Excellent work, Rummy!

[@tempestvideos9834]

Another great video by a valuable member of the boxing community.

[@alejandrorolon414]

You have the best boxing channel in KZbin, I really appreciate your content. As far as the scoring system I believe that while useful it has intrinsic bias to fighters that move in weightclases a lot.

[@franzeinu3750]

Good job buddy with this summary and video!

[@renanfesantos]

Thank you for your dedication. Your channel is one of the greatest KZbin's channels. A big thanks of Your brazilian fan

Great Video Rummy, a very unexpected winner in Hopkins but deserving & not surprising considering the system you used. You have one of the best (if not the best) boxing pages out there. Keep up the amazing work 🥊

[@marit1937]

amazing video amazing boxing channel . How long did it take to make this video ? Amount of work that you put into this video is astonishing

[@manueljr.villegas5820]

By the end of 2018, Manny Pacquiao overtakes Floyd with 182 points. Statistically, he can not overtake Archie Moore even with a perfect 10 for 2019. Manny will end his career with a third place ranking using Rummy's scoring system. Wow.

[@Bovara]

Great work Rummy as always. I look forward to you doing a look at the fighters from before this time. A hard topic to do with the lack of accurate information, match fixing, and difficulty in travelling compared to post first world war. I'ld love to know how much you think the great depression and migration after that war propelled so many into the sport they could make a living from. Keep up the great work.

[@cass3030]

Amazing Video Rummy! Great to see Roy up there at Number 7 :D

[@FlipWarBucks]

I recognize that voice, when's the next twin peaks vid? Lol great work ! Both channels

[@iblamelance5350]

Crazy list, but great video man

[@maxgreece1]

Well didn't see that coming. I was waiting for Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali as one and two. Hopkins has kinda flown completely under my radar. Obviously I knew of him as a long time champion but to win, and by such a margin.....wow. Can't fault the methodology - although, as stated, this heavily favours longevity and it also helps to have fought in multiple weight brackets - as such it does tend to score against the heavyweights who have nowhere else to go. Seriously excellent work though - well done!!

[@Wally-pu2hh]

Hopkins fought Robert Allen THREE times and Antwun Echols twice ! One of his defenses was a no contest , and they count that as a defense ? Falling out of the ring and can't continue ?! 🤣 GTFOOH

[@paulanthony5274]

Ah well he is an alien....

[@victorianicolau9431]

They weren’t because in 1961 Ali scored 1 then in 62 he scored 8 in 1963 he scored 9 from 1964 to 1969 he scored 50 from 1970 to 1973 he scored 9 and from 1974 to 1978 he scored 40 so his final score was 164 for Ray Robinson he scored 9 in 1941 9 in 1942 8 in 1944 9 in 1945 from 1946 to 1951 he scored 50 then in 1955 he scored 10 in 1956 he scored 10 in 1957 he scored 9 in 1958 he scored 10 in 1959 he scored 10 in 1960 he scored 5 and in 1961 he scored 6 so Ray Robinson’s final score was 155

Hopkins and Moore the top two boxers, awesome result.

Amazing work, I cannot imagine how long this must have taken... I skimmed a few parts, did I miss not seeing Sonny Liston withheld from this list?

[@Georgiearchie1]

This is stupendous 👊🏿👍🏿

[@xwakax7642]

This is a great and very useful list, no matter how much if chaps boxing enthusiasts' subjective love for Robinson, or Marciano, Ali, or whomever. My only wish is that we could assign point values to more ambient/arbitrary factors like ratio of length of career over point totals, multi-weight-class appearances, sustained dominance over time, win:loss ratios, etc. etc. It could even get deeper and mine the CompuBox archives for points in categories like thrown vs. landed (for boxers active during its existence), and also incorporate other reputable boxing publications/ranking systems in assigning points for athletes for whom Ring's ranking system inherently overlooked. That said, nothing spans the history of boxing so consistently as Ring's archives, and it is really the most comprehensive history of the sport we have at our disposal. Excellent video, my friend. I enjoy your content very much. Keep up the amazingly diligent work.

Best over a career I think this is a very accurate list. It does not take into account the level of greatness for a short period of time. I.E. Tyson. Foreman. Roy Jones though Jones greatest was supreme for many years. So I look forward to a Rummy top ten list taking into account the other factors that pure numbers can't capture.

[@BigJoeMetts]

Henry Armstrong belongs in the top 20 easily. Also SRR should be in the top 3 at least.

[@bigpapavee]

Well done Rummy! Very interesting angle. I think these criteria favor consistency and longevity, but not a meter of ability or maybe head to he'd match ups....ie Mike McCallum placed above James Toney. Tony starched MacCallum head to head...etc. but a great perspective and fun to check out. Too many greats didn't place though. Thanks for t a king the time!

great job, hats off. how much time did it take thou to add all points up and getting all the data? months?

[@Shamyrl]

The crazy thing about this list is that ring magazine did not rank Floyd in 2015, the year he retired. That year he unified the welterweight belts against Manny Pacquiao. If Ring had ranked Floyd for the year 2015 he might have ended up number one on this list.
