The Top 100 Pound for Pound All-Time Greats

drops williams just to **** off manassa

 

I think it's hard to be that dismissive.

It might well be the case that Walcott was ryan's number 1 contender right up until he lost to West, but Ryan then beat West.

At the very worst it's be like Dempsey-Wills if Dempsey had defended against Sharkey right after he beat wills.

 

Also McGrain; don't listen to Anj, Wilde is deffo' mid tier. I'm happy with him anywhere between 40-60.

 

I got a couple of short exerts from first from Alfred Dayton regarding berg and the second is from a fleischer report about bergs first fight with canzoneri


He varies from the average run of foreign fighters in as much as he possesses an intimate knowledge of infighting . In close, his arms work like pistons and he is such a busy individual that he has been termed the English Harry Greb , and in some instances , the English Ace Hudkins . But both these cognomens are slightly in error. Berg boasts much more skill along with his whirlwind tactics than either.




Canzoneri tried everything with him. Tony boxed and slogged and then went back to boxing again. But he didn't have enough in the way of heavy artillery to check berg, nor the strength to meet the sizzling pace. When tony attempted to box, Berg crowded him. When he came down off his toes to slug it out, the Englishman also set and Tony was the first to break every time. Berg's ability to incessantly crowd the other fellow in the teeth of the fiercest action makes him redoubtable . For something the style of clever boxers and hard hitters, Berg is in a class by himself. In close there are few who can match his furious pumping of gloved fists.

 

Canzoneri certainly didn't have the power to dissuade Berg second time round Butt :tong

 

45 is fine.

Anyway, the rest of the flys. Who jumps out at you and why? Let's elaborate on this further and whittle it down.

 

he'd probably quit the forum if you did that. I can picture him lurking this thread going bonkers around his house.

Do mwe have any reports on who would have been favoured in a fight between these two? I certainly see noone above Ryan after the West fight but I could be persuaded before then. See I have these mid-level type notes on about 400 fighters but don't have masive depth on the vast majority of them.

I couldn't say is clearly greater than but I might argue him above Loughran. More consistant and achieved more despite not having as many top names.

 

I reckon that perhaps like Darcy/Gibbons and Palomino/Cueavs there is equally arguable claims as to who was better.

Hard to say, Loughran lost a lot at HW but picked up some amazing victories. tough to make sense of it.

 

Depends on your criteria really, dominance is an underrated criteria
