    There seems to be a lot of James TOney fans here. Can we put him in so he can get knocked out?

    I think it's a real shame that Wills never made it on.

    He's got a better resume than most of these boys and never got his hsot. Certainly he would hand Patterson/Walcott their heads. But so it goes.

    I'll watch with interest.

    Good list. Always be some "should've had..." but it's a good list. How are you going to arrange who fights who?

    I think that Wills and Schmeling are the only glaring ommisions. I personally would have liked to have seen Jackson on there too, but i'd be firmly in the monority. Looking forward to the first round.
