We asked ChatGPT to name the top twenty greatest boxers of all-time.
Picking twenty of the finest boxers to ever enter the ring is no easy task and of course can be very subjective. But we asked AI to compile a list and the results are interesting to say the least.
Here’s what it responded with:
‘Pound-for-pound rankings are highly subjective, but here’s a list of 20 boxers who are often considered among the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of all time.’
1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Muhammad Ali
3. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
4. Sugar Ray Leonard
5. Manny Pacquiao
6. Roberto Durán
7. Willie Pep
8. Henry Armstrong
9. Archie Moore
10. Jack Johnson
11. Joe Louis
12. Benny Leonard
13. Pernell Whitaker
14. Julio Cesar Chavez
15. Harry Greb
16. Roy Jones Jr.
17. Joe Frazier
18. Bernard Hopkins
19. Thomas Hearns
20. Alexis Arguello

How could Rocky Marciano be left off this list??
Because Marciano had very weak opposition, similar to what Gerry Cooney had leading up to his title fight with Larry Holmes. He never fought over 205, never would have beaten half the guys Ali fought including Ali.
His undefeated record did not reflect greatness. He quit because his manager defrauded him. He waa only 32.
