    I, for one, am delighted Ted is getting so much love on this thread

    The problem I have is Mike Gibbons and Jack Dempsey are in a flat-out dead heat and he and Kid Lewis have been exchanging the 1/2/3 spot for days. It is horrifying to me that the forum might select Dempsey in favour of Gibbons but that's the other part of the problem. I'd normally just settle this myself picking who I think this should be, but because i'm so dead set against Dempsey getting in, that seems wrong.

    So i'll leave it open for a while yet - but we might have to settle this with a flash poll.

    More than happy to change my vote from JHL to Gibbons. I was voting mostly per favourites rather than resume. Obviously Gibbons deserves to be there and obviously Dempsey doesn't.

    Terrific gesture JT.

    I’m perhaps happy to alter my selections also for a small monetary incentive. :biggrin:

    Has anybody got any of the Dempsey voter's addresses? Shanker O'Toole and Cyril the Knife both owe me a couple of favours. Nice blokes. More surgical than their names might suggest....

    I’ll challenge you, them and anyone else to mortal combat in a no holds barred barn fight in whatever state you want, anything to defend the Maulers honour - if there was a Mount Rushmore for boxing he’d be there.
