    Some people are underselling Gans. Let's not forget that he defended his lightweight title 14-17 times.

    Although that's not the important bit. His fights with Dave Holly and Jack Blackburn are.

    Gans is a top five, has a good case for number one. Surprised there are a few who place him so low even some who leave him out all together.

    To be fair I did not put John L Sullivan on my heavyweight list.

    It was not from lack of unquestioning reverence.

    Gans is a top 5 lock IMO.

    Any chance somebody could pass me a bit of Jack Blackburn Coolade or maybe some Canzoneri, before this thread sinks to the bottom of the ESB pit?

    Oh ****!
    :lol:

    Let's extend that a day, or possibly a few days. I'm transcribing interviews like a machine and am not sure when I can get to this, so I may as well give people a few extra days.
