    He's been around long enough. Had plenty of scraps with some greats and some big wins. Thus far he's never been stopped. I don't know. What do you think?

    Without any shadow of a doubt. He's a top 100 ATG by my reckoning.

    Honestly I've never prepared such a list. And in truth if I did, it would probably change weekly.

    JMM is an ATG/HOF'er by ANYONE's standards, IMO.

    He's easily a hall-of-famer. He's a great fighter for this era.

    I would not rate him ahead of Fritzie Zivic and Jack "Kid" Berg on an all-time list though.
