    Jeffries and Johnson


    Yes, I think they (Jeffries and Johnson) are deserving of being much closer to one another than are, say, Ali and Holmes; I think it's very debatable which of the two (Jeffries or Johnson) should rate higher.

    I've written down all the lists which were submitted by the end of June and, over the next week, will list how many entrees each fighter receiving votes received at each ranking (eg, #3/17, seventeen third-place votes). I've checked my posters list against Rumsfeld's list, they are all there.

    At the end of July I'll update the tally, if there have been any additional rankings posted.

    I look forward to that!
    I love all his books.All the Pretty Horses was my favourite ,but the film could have been better imo.
    Hope they make a decent job of this one like ,No Country FOr Old Men.
    THe Crossing and Cities Of the Plain would make good films imo.

    .

    I'm in the process of counting votes at each ranking-spot; I hope to be done by July 7th.

    I'll up-date each month, as long as further lists are recieved.


    #X/Y means 'Y X'th place votes',
    eg, #3/12 means 'Twelve 3rd-place votes'



    Muhammad Ali
    Mentioned on 61 of 61 Ballots.
    #1/45 #2/11 #3/2 #4/2 #6/1

    Joe Louis
    Mentioned on 61 of 61 Ballots.
    #1/14 #2/42 #4/1 #5/2 #6/1 #9/1

    Larry Holmes
    Mentioned on 58 of 61 Ballots.
    #2/1 #3/16 #4/12 #5/9 #6/8 #7/7 #8/1 #9/2 #10/2
