Smitty Son's Top 20 All Time Fighters List *Forgive the Length*

i'd back the milky bar kid against jeffries.a caveman

 

High quality list.

And Saddler should be on it.

 

:good

 

Well its good to see that you aproach fantasy matchups involving Jeffries with an open mind.

 

Thanks everyone for the replies, I know their some disagreements so I'll go through the thread accordingly and ask any questions you may have.

 

I think the last time I worked on the list he comes in at 21 or 22. He was a fabulous featherweight and though he took loses when he moved up, he went on to convincingly win in return bouts (except Ross & Jadick). It was tough, but I'm confident with the picks I have ahead of him.

 

Next to Pep he was the most dominate featherweight in a dominate featherweight era. Say what you will but he beat Pep 3 out of 4. No matter what some try to downplay it as "he wasn't the same after the crash" or "he was past his best", but he clearly separated himself from a man who is a top 5 fighter of all time. That's a hell of an achievement in my book.

 

Thank you for posting the real pic, I'll post it in the title.:good

 

I have Walcott as a lock top 20. Out of interest where do you rate Holman Williams and Lloyd Marshall in comparison to Burley.

 

All 3 fall within the Top 30...

 

You are right, I'd have him nearly 30 spots higher :good

 

Hm, there are people whio think he won at least one against Ross, at the very least the fights were close. And he was although a great lw and, jww. I have him Top15. But hey it's your list and as long as you at least thought about him it's good :good

 

Frankly, its not a crime to have them 40 spots apart in all honesty.

 

Fair enough, Im just not that sold on Saddler
