A tough question. Rank the top ten American fighters of all time?

Question

I'm interested to see the answers on this one. As America has the deepest and richest talent in the history of boxing.

My top ten:
1) Sugar Ray Robinson
2) Henry Armstrong
3) Muhammad Ali
4) Willie Pep
5) Joe Louis
6) Harry Greb
7) Archie Moore
8) Marvin Hagler
9) Benny Leonard
10) Ezzard Charles

Smitty - never wanted the title. When somebody calls themself the "bible of boxing" it insinuates the they are a hardcore fan of the sport and very knowledgeable. So how can the so called "bible of boxing" not know who Ricardo Lopez is? But still claim to know the sport and it's fighters so well? Once again food for thought.
