    micheal rosenthals has already proven in his short term as editor that he is an idiot allowing this list to run further proves it ,claiming Kingsley Ikeke was a great win because he had 6ft4 with 79-inch reach :rofl

    Initially they included Hopkins at 16, and acknowledged that he might well be rated higher. But even if you included him now and bumped Conn, this list would have been infinitely better than this recent revision.

    :deal the list was packed with historical info and justifications for the list. i liked the write up for gene fulmer (paraphrasing): in terms of talent he doesn't deserve to share a cab with ray robinson but he made it to the top on willpower and determination alone

    And this is a game about desire more than talent and desire he had in spades. He also had a chin like one of those little black boxes and more endurance than an ocean liner.

    Those were the days.

    Yeah, people just read the list but the author gave a reasoning for every single pick. Now, you might not agree with that but that´s much more than most people do who provide such a list - which IMO makes this one also more valuable.
