    He's generally considered at least top 3 at LW, but how high would you rate him P4P and what would you consider his greatest accomplishment?

    I would say so.
    I generally catch hobos/tramps ,when they are sleeping,in their cardboard boxes, creeping up on them , and then give them a good kicking.
    A word of caution,make sure you are wearing a stout pair of boots ,preferably with high ankle protection ,as the cowards sometimes try and bite your leg.

    I feel I am doing society a favour by discouraging their antisocial behaviour. :good

    Crisis averted. Now off to the lounge to get their opinions on punching hobo's and STD's.

    One of the top 3 fighters of all time. Almost all the really old times that saw the fighters of the first half of the 20th cent. rate him at the very top. Arcel did. :rasta

    Top 3? Don't you think that's a little bit of a stretch?

    Top three? I can't really see rating him over Robinson, Greb, Langford or Armstrong. Those guys are cemented as the top 4. I think an argument could be made for the No. 5 spot, perhaps.
