two greatest fighters in each of 8 divisions

yessir.

 

Yeah Manassa has always been in and out but Robbi? Anyway yeah it's brilliant, you pick them so much better than the action shot types. I'm onto you.

 

true, true. by accounts driscoll won that fight but i put attell ahead based on longevity at the top and wins over other greats nelson and kilbane (his win over dixon was well past dixon's prime). there's certainly a case to be made for driscoll (and others) but personally from what i've read attell can get the spot

 

I'm surprised that Greb hasn't been picked more. Is it because his work is split between MW, LHW and HW, or is it because there is no film of him?

 

I think this is an excellent list. I must say, though, I cant see Dempsey over Ali.

And Stanley Ketchel, I am sorry but he is not in the same league as Bob Fitzsimmons. I also think that Jack McAuliffe probably deserves a spot in ahead of Joe Gans.

Other than that, i think i would probably agree with the list.

 

That's fair enough:good

 

good point. also, greb is one of those guys that is now being appreciated pound for pound but at middleweight my generation at least had 3 names pounded in their heads: hagler, monzon, robinson. those were the 3 middleweights that were at the top and greb was this shadowy figure of the past who may or may not have been that great. only now is there a push to accept evidence that he was one of the best ever, based on reports, newspaper articles and his record.

 

back supporting the beast that was prime dempsey eh?:good good on ya burt, you certainly have the passion

 

You reminded me, I forgot Greb, kick Robinson out of Middleweight.

But great minds, eh?

The same as mine, where is my praise?

Really? I have read reports and it seems to have been a top notch tactical affair by both men, and both men gave a good showing. Most people felt Driscoll won and it was close but clear but Attel was never outclassed.

Same here

What do you mean it echoes my avater? You mean the action shot?

 

Heavy-Joe Louis, Muhamad Ali
Lt. heavy-Sam Langford, Ezzard Charles
Middle- Harry Greb, Bob Fitzsimmons
Welter-Ray Robinson, Barbados Joe Walcott
Lightweight-Joe Gans, Roberto Duran
Feathers-Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep
Bantams-George Dixon, Eder Jofre
Flyweights-Jimmy,

 

for fly i gotta say it's a battle between lopez and lynch for that last spot

 

Reports I have read say that Driscoll was an overwhelming winner, Attell had his work cut out with Owen Moran ,let alone Driscoll.
