    Wha would you say if he has Ali at number one? Damned, I'd like to see the faces of people when this happens. :lol:

    :lol:

    I saw that altercation. Quite funny, think it was on the bottom of the Ezzard Charles page. Cox is an arrogant elitist *****. And no, I was did not comment on that section if you think I was the one being humorous about Cox's name. :D

    First, nobody expects it. Nearly everyone expects Greb to be the number one - including me. Most will be like wft? I would like to see those faces.

    Then I can't see Ali above Greb, Robinson, Armstrong, Langford, Charles. And there are others I would pick above him too.

    haha, you're right. shock value for one but it's a tough pick to be certain. one that i intend to justify fully one day

    I don't know, no fight footage circulating. But there are a lot of very, very talented fighters I'd rather poop a hammer than pay to watch. Maybe he was like that.
