    It's pretty sad don't you think. I understand the average punter has not heard of these guys but those who study the old timers should know. Look on facebook pages I find it's near impossible to get young fans to even have Sugar Ray Robinson in their top 10 in his prime divisions, even Hearns and Ray leonard get a bad wrap now.... Kids, what can you say.

    My list was based on head to head, on their best day, not what they did at the weight, like i usually rank.

    He may have seen them later,but ,according to you, he made his estimation of Darcy in the late 40's,which precludes those I named. Kearns died in July 1963.

    Then you haven't read anything of what Smith had to say. I would suggest starting with the volumes Smith spoke about Darcy and work your way down through Christie, Crouse, and Brown, and keep going. Not everyone thought the sun shone out Darcy's ass.

    A great middleweight who was never champion was Georgie Abrams who fought and beat great MWs and would most likely have beaten half the middleweight champs in history H2H...

    I don't need to ask anyone to ban you. You and your moronic butt buddy Spec do that just fine yourself. You guys come on here blithering like lovesick school girls about your favorite fighter and snap at anyone who doesn't agree that they are the greatest fighters in history. Its just ironic that you sit there and accuse me of something I didn't do because you have a different opinion but you've been popping off like a lunatic at anyone who not only doesn't agree with you but who doesn't even want to discuss Darcy. LOL. You post your pathetic list and not a single person mentions Darcy so you have to question every single one. This is a boxing forum not a Darcy forum. If you want to talk exclusively about Les Darcy go start a hero worshipping forum for him. If you want to talk exclusively about Australian fighters there is another forum for that. You are a small fish in a big pond, don't get mad when other fish swim by and don't pretend you are shark when they wont let you swim with them little guppy.
