how did i forget the magic man!?

 

for me its the wins over britt welsh and draw with britton (although disputed the two rematches were also close) that really seal the deal, i think i might have put him a bit high, but i rate his achievements in a tough era, would be higher if hed convincingly beat britton and gibbons mind

 

and i used to eb the same with heavyweights, but then i thought it was unfair to penalise ali and louis just because they were heavyweight, their achievements and skills rank well p4p

 

very nice list mate:good

 

still a very comprehensive list mate :good was it eder jofre per chance?

 

ye mcfarland was tricky for me to place, i dont really know that much about him and havent seen a lot of him, but i am impressed with what achieved on paper so used that as justification, after about 30 it became how many other fighters that i thought deserved to be there could i actually get in, i was pleasantly surpised with how the last 15-20 years did for representation in my list, thought i'd struggle to get any in bar sweet pea, but i think manny got a fair placing and got a couple more in with a few more on the verge, not a golden era but not as bad as i thought all things considered
