    Yeah I like the look of that.

    Id have Hearns and Griffith within a few spots of each other around the 30 mark...Napoles in the late 30's.

    I'd like to see the rest of your top 100 cause i've got each guy only one place different from you. I got Napoles at 27, Hearns at 33 and Griffith at 37.

    If I remember correctly last time you posted your list I was impressed by it.

    To be fair my list requires a lot of looking into; up until about 3 or 4 months ago I never ranked anyone pre-Louis. My last list chucked in the lieks of Tunney, Greb, Langford, Fitz etc etc but I need to think about those placings more 'in depth' so to speak.

    I'm not sure who I'd rank higher between Hearns and Napoles but I'd certainly rank both over Griffith

    I don't see any of these guys top 40. There were a lot of Great fighters in history and I think h2h with everything even would take them, especially Hearns:thumbsup
