    Tier I
    Kid McCoy, Beau Jack, Tiger Flowers, Sammy Mandell, Kid Chocolate, Johnny Dundee, Sammy Agnott, Billy Graham, Bob Montgomery.

    Tier II
    Jeff Fenech, Ad Wolgast, Midget Wolgast, Benny Lynch, Billy Petrolle, Pancho Villa, Eddie Booker, Les Darcy.


    Tier III
    Aaron Pryor, Joe Calzaghe, Mike Tyson, Antonio Cervantes, Joe Brown, Duilio Loi, Marcel Cerdan, Fidel LaBarbara, Sammy Fuller, Nino Benvenuti, Ricardo Lopez, Ernesto Marcel, Eusebio Pedroza, Young Stribling.

    TIER IV
    Bud Taylor, Frankie Genaro, Flash Elorde, Battling Nelson, Freddie Miller, Les Darcy, Joe Lynch, Willie Joyce, Jeff Smith.

    TIER V
    Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, Jimmy Barry, Gilberto Roman, Ismael Laguna, Maxie Rosenbloom,Sonny Liston, Jack Johnson, Esteban DeJesus, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Baby Arzimendi

    Holding
    Sixto Escobar, Brian Mitchell, Felix Trinidad, Cocoa Kid, Sugar Shane Mosle, Battling Battalino, Fred Apostoli, Lew Jenkins, Jack Delaney, Jim Jeffries, Harry Wills, Jack Dempsey, Wladimir Klitschko.


    Here then is what we've ended up with. The Wladimir debate has consigned Jeffries, Wills and Dempsey to 151-200. Muhammad, DeJesus, Baby A all promoted, but I reckon we now have our fifty. Time for adjustments running out.

    If anyone can put eyes on any dual entries, or anyone that is listed in both holding and the fifty, do please let me know.

    Klompton says it's going to be 697 pages with 550 pictures. Yeah, I think it's a must own book.

    I feel sorry for Dempsey

    And McGrain I don't think I could do anymore than I have for Brian Mitchell

    Brian Mitchell > Donald Curry > Marlon Starling ?????

    Curry has two wins (Starling) better than anything Mitchell has. Mitchell has longevity, consistency. Just think Curry deserves a shout at this point.

    Not this point - next point. If we go further, do please make a short case for his inclusion 150-200.

    Great point. Still far more worthy than Mitchell, Khaosai and Wonjongkam.

    Damn I should've made the case for Accavallo three or four days ago. What a twat I am.
