    SO you admit this is not natural?

    I suppose everyone is due their fifteen minutes though...

    :lol:

    Well, since @salsanchezfan volunteered first (and I know he's going to be perturbed by the disproportionate number of heavyweights in my thumbnail), I think I'll keep the list as is. Besides, the artwork is all done, including the special thanks credit listing the 61 participants. And I'm not reordering anything now.

    Incidentally, I imagine this thing should be ready to roll in approximately 50-74 hours give or take.

    It's pretty unimaginative in terms of commentary, but I wanted to roll through the results quickly without overcomplicating things by recapping numbers that were already onscreen. I likewise opted against my original idea of detailing over how each boxer fared in the original Divisional Survey Series. Feels like overkill, although I may be tempted to revisit this idea (comparing Fan Favorites to Divisional Survey Results) in a different context early next year.

    All I want is the “Alice” spot in the Brady Bunch grid like I had in the first of these projects.

    Alice was the glue that held that melded family together.

    Well, that didn't pan out the way I planned. :lol:

    But alas, it should be ready in a few hours.

    That wouldn't have been the case had Sam actually married her instead of just delivering free meat.

    :smoking:

    Bravo, maestro Rummy! You did it again.

    One question: Where did the portraits of all the ones in your banner come from? Those are awesome.

    Let's be honest, is anyone surprised Duran was number one? Or Hagler was a close second?

    Timing of these things is always interesting though. No, I'm not surprised Hagler was number 2 but everyone on this forum (almost) has seen a bunch of his fights since he died. In three or four years it'd be different maybe.

    Ken Norton above Ruben Olivares makes me feel a bit sick and I was sad B-Hop didn't make it (HM though!). Absolutely crazy how much higher Morales is than Barrera! I mean really, that shocked me...i kinda like seeing it though, haha. The worst part here was the dawming realisation that Charley Burley didn't make the list. No Murderer's Row representation outside of Moore. Very sad, a bit of a blow that. Board let me down a bit there!

    Overall though, the list reflects very well on Classic I feel, a good representation of syltes and eras.

    Duran is the board's number one fighter and does, indeed, deserve a mention.

    Most shocked by how high Walcott finished. Think it’s deserving just never would have thought he would have beat out the men behind him (he was on my list).
