    I think mine is

    Greb
    Fitz
    Monzon
    Hagler
    Robinson
    Hopkins
    Dempsey
    Ketchel
    Burley
    Flowers
    Walker
    Zale
    Tiger
    Lamotta
    Griffith

    I'm struggling for reasons to keep charles and langford out of the list but i've refrained for now. Both have defeated guys on this list.

    Btw I think the intentions of the ts here are despicable. Trying to make fun of someon's rankings is so childish and ridiculous.

    Jab admits he doesn't know a lot about fitz, instead of mocking him share your knowledge.

    Honestly the way your carrying on is better suited for the lounge and the general forum.

    It doesn't bother me in the least that you hate Lewis. What bothers me is your close mindedness and inability to view things objectively. And yes you've been run out of nearly every thread you try and debate.

    I don't think anyone looks at me like a troll as I try to be respectful and open minded even when Im in disagreement. You on the other hand...:patsch
    But I wouldn't be surprised if they were getting tired of me kicking you all over the place. I know it gets old, but I've been having some fun at your expense. My apologies to the rest of the forum.

    I don't claim to be a know it all on this sport. There is always more to learn. But I'd be very impressed if you can show the "loads of times" where I claimed to "know nothing" about the fighters you named. The only thing you will show is my statement of not being familiar with Fitz's middleweight opponents enough to rank him. That a far cry from knowing nothing. I've matched wits with you in several threads on this forum and you've scampered out of every one.

    The forum I mod is fine. The only people who are complaining about me there are the trolls like you that I've kicked out. Unfortunately East side Classic now has to deal with you.

    Its cool my man, this thread totally blew up in his face. I've gotten some compliments and I've gotten some constructive criticism. I appreciate both. :good

    These lists are all subjective anyways. I probably rate fitz more than anyone on this board but I wouldn't argue to greatly if someone had him outside their top 5.

    I don't think any list with Burley should have Holman more than a couple of places away, I rate Burley higher but Holman has a case to be higher and there is so little between them. Although boxrec is misleading, Burley edged their series

    Also Walker is too high if your basing your criteria on what they did at the weight, the Flowers fight was controversal and his other wins are a little thin at the weight

    We all know Quarry is a bit of a dick. I am sure you can sleep well at night knowing 99% of the classic agree with 99% of your posts over his.:thumbsup

    Top 15 or 20 at 160. I think he's better suited to be ranked at 175 though.
