    If I swapped out Johnson for Fitzsimmons it would be exactly the same as mine. Completely understand why some don't include Fitz, though. Just depends on criteria.

    Bivins, John Henry and maybe Gibbons wouldn't be far away.

    "We deal in lead friend"

    I like the idea of Fitzsimmons on the list somewhere...probably, as above, at the expense of Johnson.

    Correct, could easy swap Bob for Johnson and that list would be fine .or include him .There both top lght heavy s that could make the grade no problem.

    "Generosity ,that was my first mistake."

    ps I left Fitz off because he didn't do a lot at the weight.

    Tiger beat Torres, Rouse,Depaula ,and Kendall.That' s not enough in my book to include him in a top ten all time list.
    Especially when fighters like Berlenbach ,who beat Stribling,Delaney,Slattery,McTigue ,Siki ,
    and Delaney who beat Berlenbach,Jamaica Kid,Rosenbloom,McTigue,Loughran.Aren't on it.

    Bivins has wins over 4 lhvy champs,but Bettina and Christoforidis aren't of the top flight and neither was Lesnevich. What did he weigh when he beat Maxim? I discount Bivins wins over more accomplished guys because he had a hefty pull in the weights.

    Hah! Your Sweet Science rankings. Interesting pick of Greb in front of Tunney but your logic is sound.
