Brit forums all-time P4P top 10

Joe Louis, Jimmy McLarnin, Joe Gans, Mickey Walker, Tony Canzoneri, Bob Fitzsimmons, Ray Leonard, Sweet Pea, Barbados Joe Walcott, Archie Moore, in no order, are constantly banging on the door of the top ten in my mind.

Phew.

 

McGrain savages me in the knowledge stakes. I cannot level that accusation of bias at him I'm afraid.

:good

 

He savages just about everyone else on here with the exception of one or 2 older heads in the Classic, I'm just trying to get a rise out of him.

 

It's in no order....and I honestly didn't realise that was ten, I thought it was less

 

:admin Cheers!! How'd you find that so quickly?

It's weird how far down Ray Leanord has dropped in my estimation since I did that.

 

Genius Wallet!

 

It will work.

But Durans heroics, up to middle....it's deserving of a high top ten place in my book. Then again, McGrain will be more versed on Gans than I :deal

 

1. Ray Robinson
2. Harry Greb
3. Henry Armstrong
4. Ezzard Charles
5. Muhammad Ali
6. Willie Pep
7. Roberto Duran
8. Sam Langford
9. Ray Leonard
10. Barney Ross

I don't like the order much, but I think those 10 are the ones I'd want on the list.

 

I just googled something along the lines of:

:good Cheers mate.

Now I look at, there's quite a lot I'd change. I think a reworking is in order.

 

For me it's my top five. Are particular conquests you've discovered to be of some interest then mate? I'm only aware of the 'meat' of his resume really, and as I find out more about the likes of 'Elbows' and Jack Blackburn, as well as reading up on his bout with Langford recently. No doubt either 1/2 greatest lightweight of all time for me, kinda' like Ali/Louis @ Heavy, nah what I'm sayin'? ;-)
