    Yeah I can see the merit of compiling lists that way bit I'd say it only works if you only rank a fighter in one division to maintain consistency.

    As I said I might give it a go one day and see how it differs from my current lists.

    That's a respectable list. Though I think Gans and Leonard have more impressive scalps than Armstrong at LW.

    I agree I'd usually have Leonard number 1. That was on the basis that ranking was done in terms of p4p greatness but in prime divisions (like they asked me to do with Greb a good few pages back)

    The greatest description of Harry Greb's frenetic boxing style was given by writer
    Ring Lardner :
    "Harry Greb in the ring resembled a man who had just burst loose from his strait jacket"

    I think I would say Greb.no1 But apart from Monzon,Hagler ,SRR, you have Fitz, Ketchel in the mix. How good was Langford at 160lbs?
