[Text/Fighting Jianghu] For a long time, boxing champion Xiaomayweather has boasted of being the first in the world, and in many rankings, he is indeed the first. However, the famous British boxing archive network has given a new version of the rankings, in which Mayweather is no longer the world No. 1, and boxing champion Mike Tyson is not in the top 10.
What kind of list is this? It's a ranking of the great fighters in boxing history, let's take a look.
The first place on this list is no longer Mayweather, but Ray Robinson, who is known as the "Saint of Boxing", with a professional record of 174 wins, 19 losses, 6 draws and 2 results, the real king of boxing, a saint. Mayweather is really a grandchild in front of Robinson.
Robinson's career began in 1940 and spanned 201 races over a period of 25 years. It was not until 1965 that he announced his retirement.
Robinson died of a heart attack in 1989 at the age of 67.
The soon-to-be-47-year-old Mayweather has a perfect record of 50 wins and 27 knockouts, and he has always felt that he is the number one in the world, and this time he lost his place to Robinson, and Mayweather was relegated to second place.
When counting the list of the greatest fighters of all time in 2020, Mayweather was considered the No. 1 of all time. But this time, he is no longer number one.
Mayweather's last official bout was in August 2017 at round 10 TKOUFC star Conor McGregor, after which Mayweather retired with a complete punch.
Asian superstar Manny Pacquiao, ranked No. 4 on the list, is one of Mayweather's biggest career opponents and an eight-division world champion.
We look at the American Armstrong ranked 5th, and the legendary Argentine boxing champion Carlos Monzon ranked 6th, these are all veterans.
Panama's Robert Duran, ranked 10th, is a legend who joined Leonard Hearns and Hagler to become one of the four kings of the middleweight division in the '80s.
However, the likes of Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Evan Holyfield, Shug Ray Leonard, Roy Jones Jr., Lennox Lewis, Rocky Marciano and Joe Karzahe did not make it into the top 10.
It is clear that this ranking is unfair and not objective. Because the British Boxing Archive Network is a more mechanical, procedural, and formulaic website, it relies more on the point system to rank, and does not consider the fighter's reputation, influence, technical style, game quality, winning method, and state during the game, which is inevitably biased.
Therefore, the ranking of this website is just a word of the family, and it lacks authority.
As an example, Sugar-Ray Leonard has surpassed Duran's achievements and has beaten Duran twice, so it stands to reason that Leonard is more qualified to compete. Duran can be on the list, but Leonard failed to be in the top 10 on the list, and in the same way, boxing champion Tyson has such a big influence and is not on the list, which really shouldn't be.
