No Haggler? No Roy Jones Jr? No George Foreman? Rickson is hummm, I think a myth, I know he's good but his record is very suspect and the stories are unreliable at best. Frank Shamrock was good in his day but never the best or even close. Bas Rutten is better than Shamrock, I'd even put Chuck Liddell on the list. But this is your list so you're not wrong we just disagree. Floyd Mayweather JR should be on the list and possibly Chavez. I dunno most of the fighters on yours to be honest though. But I know most of the Gracies are more legend that actual facts. 600-0 is kind of pointless if he fought 600 n00bs, obviously they're all skilled but I think overhyped. Royce got destroyed by Matt Hughes.
24. Pan Qing Fu - "The Iron Fist", helped capture 23 of China?s
toughest gang leaders, many single handedly. His iron fist, which he
trained by hitting a steel block 1,000 times a day, devastated his
opponents.
never heard of him, but this sounds like a tall tale to me, is hitting a steel block 1,000 a day supposed to toughen your knuckles? I was unaware you could do anything like that. If this does work - my bad and I will start training tomorrow

wow you can't have this list op. too many disciplines and weight classes and eras. and boxers are boxers not fighters. boxing is a beautiful science.

thats how you get your hands super hard. its like punching into wet compacted beach sand that many brazilians practice. also where's mike tyson, i don't care how crazy he is but you put him in a room with you and piss him off, well he becomes the best fighter ever.

The guy exists...you can cause your bones to get denser by hitting things...as you progress you move up.
Same principal as Muay Thai boxers starting by kicking padded bamboo, then just rope wrapped, and finally bare.
Skin and bone toughen.

Hitting something over and over again is a real thing. I saw a National Geographic or History channel, I don't remember about this group of monks that live in the mountains training everyday. They hit bricks thousands of times a day over and over with their heads, fists, legs, arms etc. to make them immune to pain.

It works. My grandfather use to do it back in China. All he did was martial arts when he was a kid.
Must be an old list ... Alexander Karelin was defeated by Rulon Gardner at the 2000 Olympics Gold Medal match. Also, I would argue that Cael Sanderson is a greater wrestler than Dan Gable. Sanderson was undefeated his collegiate career (159-0), winning four national championships and he also won Gold at the 2004 Olympics.

Frank Shamrock and Roberto Duran make me go "hmmm"
Both are great fighters, but best of all time? Duran might be lucky to make the top 30 in the world of boxing alone.
