For some reason Ranker hasn't recognized the correct Muhammad Ali entry when you have listed him (hence his name is in black not blue and there is no year of birth showing). This means that it doesn't count your rating of him in with all the others so he now appears twice in the ultimate list. Best thing to do is delete him and re-add him checking that Ranker gives you the right option. Not that I wish to tell you what to do of course lol.

Greatest Lightweight of All Time...Roberto Duran, Greatest Heavyweight of All Time...Joe Louis, Greatest Middleweight of All Time...Sugar Ray Robinson. End of story!

  You've fallen into the trap (in my opinion!) of rating Robinson the greatest Middleweight. Absolutely no way! As a middleweight he had 13 world title fights, winning 8 and losing 5. Even before his 2 and a half year lay off he lost 1 of his 5 title fights (to the decent but hardly great Randolph Turpin). No, the pre first-retirement Robinson was a very good Middleweight but not the greatest. As a Welterweight however, he was damn near perfect and that is the guy who is rated by many as the greatest P4P in history. Pretty good list though - 14 of your top 20 are also in mine and 3 more are in my top 30 so that seems reasonable enough for me!
