    Quality over quantity with SRL. Shouldn't be a bad thing.

    It's your list so from your own view it can't be wrong same for everyone else. No Duran? I can't see it. Moore shouldn't be topet ten IMO and probably not Charles either. McLarnin I don't think so.

    I wouldn't have Greb top 50 let alone #1

    Only beat Tunny because he was injured and bleeding like a stuck pig from the early rounds. never won any of the follow up bouts.

    How guys fare in rematches determines how great they were.

    It's not a bad thing per se ... until he's compared to a fighter that has both, which is often the case w/ other potential candidates for the top 10.

    How about replacing McLarmin with Jimmy Wilde?

    Some good calls there.

    P4P top tens are so so complex, because there have been so many great fighter, across the various weight divisions and eras.

    The most controversial call, will be the omission of Sugar Ray Robinson.
