no doubt a great deal of top class fighters get forgotten about in top ten discussions.

I think you will find most around here are going to pick from a pool of about 20 or so fighters, so there will be a pretty good consensus.

You only have 10 spots to fill so you probably think of a lot of fighters to put in there, so in that respect you dont forget them, they are still considered..But at some point you have to make a distinction between those fighters and the ones that make your 10.

No it just means i take no interest in researching these older fighters and lack the knowledge you folks do.

Can you tell me this though, do you watch film of Benny Leonard and Bob Ftizsimmons and honestly believe they are in the technical and physical class of Pernell Whitaker and Roy Jones?

I certainly wouldn't be boycotting. I just wouldn't know where to start.
