    I personally wouldn't have had Lewis or Frazier in but I like Lewis so I like him in :yep

    I like the Herman shout too, I just wasn't sure since Herman was in a higher tier, we could just get rid of him completely? Seems rash, but not as rash as CB not in at all.

    Alright, that's a good case for him to at least make the top 100. What would you say his best win is? He's 1-2 against Kid Chocolate and even he didn't make the list. I don't know much about those contenders, but how much is LaBarba separated from Kid? I'm not convinced he's above Basilio, still.

    Just Fitz. And Leonard behind Ali. Not a big deal, though.

    LaBarba and Kid is close to me but LaBarba has the flyweight championship stuff which probably gives him the edge.

    I don't know how much we'll be able to change the numbering, to be honest. It's McGrain's list after all. Langford will stay at #1, even if a majority disagree. Ezz won't be moving up to #4, even if that's the right, honest, decent thing to do.

    We got to sort out the tiers, but I doubt the real specifics of the list will be argued too much.
