    I think you could make a case for Foreman over Doug Jones, even though the punchin preacher only had 13 fights in 1969, all of which he won, 11 by KO. And if you allow him 1970 that tally goes up to 25 wins, with 22 stoppages.

    I don't allow 1970. 1969 counts.

    A few other names, Bob Cleroux, Greg Peralta, Pastrano, maybe ****ell.
    Doug Jones, Williams-high for me. And I'm not a big Satterfirld fan. But a really great list for all of that.

    Decent list. :good
    I'm surprised you rate Johansson just one spot behind Patterson, and four above Archie Moore.
    The way you talk about Johansson, I thought you rated him as sh!t.

    Outstanding list. I may have found room for Hurricane Jackson, but good all round.

    Excellent list, though I'd probably rank Marciano higher than Liston..

    I would have Marciano higher than Liston. But SuzieQ has Liston higher than Rocky because he believes that Liston would beat Rocky's ass. That is reasonable.
