Do you agree with this list? Is there any boxers you would like to see in this list?
If so, then please tell me the boxers name and a reason why, leave it in the comment box
Thanks people ;-)
(Ps, i myself would like welshman Joe Calzaghe in there, above Oscar De La Hoya. Calzaghe is amazing and his record speaks for itsself, and just look at some of the boxers he has beat. Also i would like to see Floyd Mayweather Jr higher as his record also speaks for itself and his victory over Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton was one of his best)

Fury calls for Price match
Tyson Fury has called out heavyweight rival David Price to face him in an all-British showdown in Bethnal Green this month.
Unbeaten heavyweight Fury wants to fight Olympic bronze medallist Price when he steps through the ropes for his fifth professional fight in Bethnal Green on April 11. No opponent has signed up to face Fury as yet, and he wants Price to step up to the plate and make a quick reappearance after his debut to settle the score.
Price made a successful start to his career as a professional last weekend by beating Dave Ingleby and has already said he fancies facing Fury for the British title. Fury though, does not believe Price has what it takes to make it to such a level and has called for the Liverpudlian to face him on April 11. No guarantees
"If we are going to fight then we may as well fight now because based on his pro debut there's no guarantee David Price will make it to British-title level," said Fury.
"I'd love for the fight to happen when there are titles at stake because I think it would be a massive fight, but my worry is that with his chin Price won't make it that far."
"He says he'll do his talking in the ring, well here's his big chance, he can step up and fight me on April 11.
"I'm still waiting on an opponent so the job's there for him if he wants it. He says he wants to stay busy and he's just coming off a win, so here's his chance."
However, it appears unlikely that Fury, promoted by Hennessy Sports, and the Hayemaker Promotions-backed Price will meet so early in their careers.
The animosity between the two fighters would make for a spiky contest though, with Price already labelling Fury as 'disrespectful'. Despite only making four pro appearances himself, Fury believes he is much more professional than the 25-year-old - and claims his debut showed that.
Price was caught by Ingleby after dropping his hands after the referee called for a break, and that lapse almost cost him.
"He got hit with one clean shot in the whole fight and it had him all over the place. Imagine if that had been me hitting him?" added Fury.
"That proved to me that he's still an amateur. He was waiting for the ref to step in and protect him. I've heard he's blaming it on his gumshield falling out. He said it was too small and yet he says I'm the one with the big mouth!
"I hope he doesn't use his gumshield as an excuse for not fighting me next month"
I believe this would be a great bout for Britain and as a fellow Liverpudlian i will be following David Price. He seems a really good fighter as i watched him at the Olympics. I watched Tyson Fury in his previous bout and there wasnt nothing special about him. David Price does have the potential to beat him and hopefully he will.
COME ON PRICE !!!!!!!!!
