    Whoopsie!

    Okay, you don't rank head to head....

    ....so let's hear it, Patterson above Wills who dominated Langford.

    Wills is an odd pick. I can´t get myself to rank him above Dempsey and I rank Dempsey in the Tier behind Schmeling, Patterson and Liston ... so Wills ends up next to Dempsey. It´s illogical but that´s how I have it.

    I could start reasoning with me ranking achievements highly - which I do - and mentioning Floyd having two unique achievements which put him up, I could also mention that Floyd fought bigger fighters most of the time while Wills fought smaller fighters most of the time.
    But that all isn´t the reason why he is where he is. It´s the reason I stated above.

    I am not criticizing, because I am evaluating my own rankings...but out of curiosity Schmeling seems a little low any reasons???? And most others are rating Moore on the lower end, any reasons for his seemingly high ranking???

    Well you sure put alot of greats for Schmeling to compare with maybe that s why he is so low, and as for the "Old Mongoose" I feel bad ranking him 3rd against anyone but the atgs. Moore is definitely a top 15 atg in my book:yep

    I love the old Mongoose, but currently have Schmeling in my top 15 and Moore just outside of my 20. Moore at 15 seems a little high and I don't recall seeing him that high on other lists??? Once again I am not criticizing, as outside of my top 13 I don't feel comfortable yet with my picks from 14-30
