    Really? That's a good call actually...but I'd give a place for Galindez too.

    Archie Moore, Harold Johnson, Jack Dillon and Maxie Rosenbloom are the most impressive from a visual standpoint, I suppose.

    That's a vote of mine...Victor was like a bull...ironically with that controlled, counterpuncher's style.
