    Well Dempsey's title reign was through most of the 20s, but he wouldn't be a factor in my top 10 regardless.

    That's what freaked me out when I read because I had come up with the exact same cut off for my own list. I'll post it in a bit.

    Hmm, I wonder how good an argument you could make for Canzoneri in the top 10? Since he's a lock for top 20. Has the resume and H2H filmed skill.

    He needs an extensive bio the most IMO.

    Yes! It would be a great story. Another would be on the Smashing, Bashing, Crashing Kid Lewis. What an intriguing character. I wonder if anyone in Great Britain ever wrote one on Ted? I got one on Freddie Mills. I need a well written one on the Kid.

    Thx. Published in 1992 so maybe I will find it cheaper on ebay. My Sharkey book was $300.00 on Amazon and others. I finally got it out of England for $25.00.
    Thx again.

    Nope, not yet. I still have tons of books to read, when I have time. Close to finishing the Nipper Pat Daly book.

    I had a Ted Kid Lewis book - I’ll see if I’ve still got it.

    I just think it will be very intersting. My fav era is 1889- 1927. I have endless bios on both great and obscure fighters from this period and scoring a new one is always a good deal.
