    See i'm thinking wins over elbows, holly and gans. Is that enough for a top 25 lw ranking? I haven't compiled a list but i'd imagine it is.

    Welterweight would have been his crowning glory with a legitimate victory over a legitimate atg champion.

    He is in my top 20 at every weight class from 147 (maybe even 140) to 175. But not above 175. At 190 or 200 many men could beat him.

    He's in my top 15 at both lightheavy and heavyweight. I've not done a list below them as of yet.

    He'd be top 10 from 135 to 175, even 200.
