    Never again mate. I have quite an obsessive personality so ever new fighter I learnt about had to be studied in depth and recorded in my database.

    I can't remember my exact criteria for this, probably only included HW bouts though.

    These kinds of stats make you think maybe Dempsey and Charles are underrated a tad…
    I wonder what some contenders are. Would like to know Moore’s Harold Johnson Povetkin etc. probably better then most champs.

    The problem with Dempsey is he had two outstanding contenders of his era. Harry Wills and Harry Greb. He fought neither. So how can you make arguments that his resume is great?

    Joe Walcott 13-10-0 (5)


    Ray (x3), Simon, Baksi, Murray, Bivins, Oma, Gomez, Maxim (x3), Louis (x2), Charles (x4), Agramonte, Johnson, Layne, Marciano (x2) (14)

    This one has some missing

    Al Ettore cracked the top 10

    Tiger Jack Fox cracked the top 10

    Willie Reddish cracked top 10 in a monthly issue

    Euro champs tandberg and Hoff may have cracked top 10 monthly

    Lorenzo pack was a national gold gloves champ and huge hitter not sure if he cracked top 10
