The Top 100 Pound for Pound All-Time Greats

Thanks McVey, I think that means we have another spot guys - Barrera, anyone?

What all you young guys are doing whilst the desert eagle is picking out this problem is beyond me.

 

You caught me in the middle of the edit is all...

We have the power.


OK. There's 99. That will do for just the moment. I'm going to drop in Barrera unless I meet a lot of stiff opposition in favour of someone else.

Then I have some issues I want to raise with the list.

Then i'll ask for the issues you have with the list. Then i'll start the real work, which is numerising the tiers.

 

I could be given to taking Lewis out for Foreman without any prompting at all based on the second career.

 

Yeah, i'm doing it. So we have a 100 on the page i'm dropping Barrera in and he'll be my #100 in the unlikley event nothing should change. It works.
